As the unfortunate trend continues, yet another kiddo has found their Christmas PMP replaced with something that's, well, not a PMP. In today's episode, we find a Washington, D.C. girl that unwrapped an iPod earlier this week and discovered that the only Apple product tucked within was the inner packaging. Instead, a clever note was stashed inside (presumably with a paperweight of some sort) that read: "Reclaim your mind from the media shackles. Read a book and resurrect yourself. To claim your capitalistic garbage go to your nearest Apple store." Oh, and just in case you really needed more than one guess as to where this thing came from, here's a hint: it was sold by the same retailer who passed on Wii demo units due to "safety" concerns.

Note says,

"RECLAIM YOUR MIND FROM THE MEDIA'S SHACKLES! READ A BOOK AND RESURRECT YOURSELF. TO CLAIM YOUR CAPATALISTIC GARBAGE GO TO YOUR NEAREST APPLE STORE."

People should really should open their boxs before they leave the store.

i agree with the note, if your life is sad enough to require a ipod, you need being cut up into small pieces and put in a blender

maybe her parents did it

Could be her parents.

But, it might be one of the Wal-Mart employees.

i'd just like to add, i didn't do it, and you cna't prove i did it

Poor girl! I'd love an iPod myself, but I bet my parents would do that to me. Or one of my enemies.

lol people are getting to careless these days. Maybe next time they'll by a ipod from walmart or a different place that doesn't sell USED stuff.
