Introducing the iPod ninja

by Mike Schramm Sep 25th 2010 at 10:00AM

We here at TUAW fortunately passed on reporting the obviously fake story of Steve Jobs being denied access to Japan because of ninja stars he was reportedly carrying in his luggage. But we did like this fake Apple page from the folks at Scoopertino, featuring the iPod ninja, a brand new throwing star-shaped iPod. If Steve was carrying around ninja stars (and he wasn't), maybe he was just testing a more weaponized iPod prototype.

For more yuks, be sure to read on about the "death grip" issue ("If you hold iPod ninja in a certain way, you may require immediate medical care."), and I like the fact that sharing music with the ninja is easy -- just wing it across the room at whoever you want to listen in. For just $149 for the 8GB model, Jobs may have something here with this new ninja model -- his fake Japanese dismissal was not in vain!

How can you be so involved with technology... especially as STEVE JOBS is.. and NOT go back to Japan?!

You read the article wrong. He got stopped from LEAVING Japan, not ENTERING. He was bringing them back as a gift. I don't think it was a fake story.

you are correct. This is actually the first I've heard that story being called a fake.

On second search... it looks like it may have been fake. I guess I give Blooomberg too much credit.

It's fake because the Buy Now button has been sliced in half.

I really hope that has a belt clip, because there's no way I'm putting it in my pocket. ;)
