It’s hard to believe, but not everybody loves the iPod. Exhibit A: this simple black sticker with white text
reading “iPods lick balls” that
Curbed discovered
in downtown Manhattan. These stickers aren’t new, as they were
spotted some time ago in
Tribeca. I, personally, suspect that Laurie is to blame as the stickers are appearing near her office.
The SoHo Apple Store reports that sales of iPods have tripled since the stickers first emerged on Manhattan’s
streets*.

Wow, I checked out the anti-iPod blog. Is it yours? If so, I know it's hip to hate the iPod, but how can you focus so much hatred towards a device that plays music? Are you just trying really hard to be cool, or does your life truly revolve around your hate for a piece of plastic?
I'm usually not one to pity, because it implies superiority, but I truly feel sorry for you. I hope you get over your pet hate soon, and start worrying about more relevant problems.

People who hate iPods can't afford them.
p.s. I have a 4th gen and it doesn't lick my balls. Is that in one of the recent ipod updates? I thought I had the newest patch. :(

Wow, you're dissing people and not checking your spelling. Such bad form doesn't support your argument. Also, I'm sorry not all of us have enough extra cash kicking around for an ipod. I like music, but eating is a bit more important to me.

I hate that my iPod was not charged up when I went to go back to work today after being on holidays, and at home working for two weeks.
But I LOVE my iPod. (Alright. My girlfriend's iPod. But getting up earlier than her, and actually having to commute every day means I take it most days...)

Personally, I think Tyler's (ihateyouripod.com) site is funny as all get-out.
Be nice to the guy. read his side-bar. His family was KILLED by an iPod 7 years ago. That's *gotta* leave some scars. Have some sympathy for the poor guy.
The iMonks are okay with Tyler. They say that some day he will leave the woman at the river... whatever that means...

It's amazing that people would choose to hate a piece of electronics when there are so many other more important things to hate instead.
