Toasted iPod
You’re standing by and enjoying a bonfire and listening to your iPod, suddenly a friend approaches and scares you. Your iPod fumbles between your fingers as it quickly descends into a firey grave. After the fire clears, you find your iPod burnt to a crisp… but it still turns on. The hard drive creates a loud “this can’t be good” sound and the outside of the iPod looks similar to a toasted marshmallow. The moral of the story… fire + iPod = bad.

I think I might just burn my Fu&*ing iPod anyway. It’s iseless, so is the support I get from Apple. I’d be just as good burning $400, at leased I’d only get pi$$ed once, instead of every time I use it.
