Hmm, maybe it's not a double, i can't find the old thread. Still, iPod spoofs are no longer funny, ever. I stand by that.

Wait - is the supposed video spoofing Apple? Or is the unavailability of it spoofing Windows? Or is the post itself spoofing Metafilter? I'm so confused.

That's a bit harsh, isn't humor in the mind of the beholder? I thought it was funny, but since there are SOOOO many videos like this on the web, it may not FPP worthy.

First such spoof I've seen, I enjoyed it. I don't own an ipod, and have little interest in them. I have an old mp3 player which suits me just fine and runs on 1 AA battery that lasts a long time, and is user replaceable. nya nya.

Not new, not especially funny. And not well formatted but then, I'm using the government mandated Internet Explorer so maybe that's the problem?
