Scott Kelby, writer, trainer, Mac fan, has created a funny spoof of the iPod advertisements. David Pogue managed to get it posted over at the New York Times (hey, it is the first place I look for spoofs and wacky videos).The video features the brand new 'iPod Flea' that can hold one song and play it over and over again for one hour. Watch the video, it is funny.
Oh, and if you don't have a NY Times registration now is a good time to point out Bugmenot to you (you're welcome).

I don't think I've ever seen a decent iPod spoof, but this one was actually funny. Plus, I had to disable Safari's pop-up blocker to actually view the video -- I never realized how well it worked until I turned it off.
Fishes,

Agreed, that a Quicktime version would have been nice. But the spoof WAS well-conceived and edited -- it was quite funny!

I loved the idea, but I woulda loved it so much more if they would have made it seem like a real iPod commercial, not an infomercial...
although it still was funny.

With comedy, timing is everything. This one timed out at about 30 seconds.
