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.
