Queen Elizabeth II buys an iPod

How can people tolerate aristocracy? Doesn't it follow the same rules as racial hygiene in Nazi Germany?

To the person who asked whats a Queen as Elizabeth II, not the type who frequents the meat packing district after hours in New York. A queen is someone who's family line has through murder, lies, bullying, deceit, charisma, invasion and more than likely incest managed to convince (usually through force) the general population that they (either King or Queen) are better than said population along with fostering a personality cult around the said self-appointed title. If enough decades go by the queen and her lackies can grab the best land and with it the wealth from that land. However after seeing many of their fellow european relatives get the chop, current european kings and queens have managed to change with the times and are now actually very highly paid performers and tourist attractions as well as being daily fodder for the more sleazy sections of the UK press. Also they have a civil duty to actually meet the general population (the 'unwashed' as stated in royal circles), which is a condition of their duties, whilst putting on a royal fake smile and actually looking interested in what they are opening that day (hospital, office block, boat, plane, train shopping centre etc) That dear friends is our British Queen.

I thought Queen Elizabeth II was a boat, a real long, luxurious one...the head of the UK royal household is Queen Elizabeth, simply. The 'we-pod' comment was funny...utterly funny.

i thought she was dead

there was a small arcticle im my local newspaper about it. they said, and i quote: "LONDON: The Queen has dipped into the royal purse to snap up an iPod, a report said yesterday. The Sun newspaper said the sovereign, 79, had bought a six gigabyte silver model for $400. The pocket-sized digital music players can hold as many as 10,000 downloaded songs. The Queens second son Prince Andrew was reported to be behind the move, having bought his mother a mobile phone and taught her how to use it in 2001. 'The Queen loves music and was impressed by how small and handy the iPod is,' an insider said." so in short, she got an iPod. Who gives a shit? ---Julz :)

"Steven, could the price discepancy be due to the article being Austrailian (and presumably in AUS Dollars...)?" Well, that still puts it at $309-$311 USD

Steven, could the price discepancy be due to the article being Austrailian (and presumably in AUS Dollars...)?

Wouldn't it be we-Pod? Cue Queen Victoria - "We are not amuuused!"

I am from England and have got to say the Queen is a lot cooler than people think! The Queen rocks!!!

Who makes the iPod cover featured in the picture for this post??? Anyone???
