What you are about to read is from an actual court filing. Gregory McKenna has filed suit against
Apple, which he alleges is conspiring with the mob in an effort to coerce him to return to a New York-based modeling agency he quit in 2000. As explained in the 124-page complaint, an
iPod shuffle he bought on eBay in 2005 and an iPod mini he bought new from an Apple store in 2006 -- possibly a nano, as minis were discontinued a year prior -- both contain receivers that have allowed the Mafia to send audio death threats that play in tandem with his music. The suit seeks $14.3 million total and lists ten defendants in all, including a local mechanic, a private investigator, the St. Louis Police Department, the FBI, and the US Department of Justice. While our initial reaction is to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all, it's hard not to feel sad for McKenna and his state of mind -- of course, if by some stroke of fate he manages to prove it was all one big conspiracy perpetrated by the Mafia, well, guess we'll be ending up with egg on our faces.

I sold off my ipod for similar reasons; it kept wanting me to pay .99 for new songs from some sort of online store.
I knew I shouldn't have got that iPod for my friend!
"put hidden receivers in iPods for transmitting death threats"
last time i checked, receivers don't transmit anything.
The phone company killed Kennedy.
Wow, that's good crazy.
I think this guy needs some help.
The Onion News Network (ONN) has a very good news article on how to help people like this

"him to return to a New York-based modeling agency he quit in 2000. "

Before everyone dismisses this guy completely…
• If you file a lawsuit that has zero merit or are crazy, it will get tossed out right away
• There apparently is enough evidence to allow it to go through when a judge reviewed it, which is VERY fascinating.
• If the guy was 100% crazy it would have been dismissed and his attorney would have shut the lawsuit down immediately.
There's probably some small threads of truth woven into this, but nothing sensational...
BAHAHAHAHA!!!! This was the best. I am so glad I read this. Major pick me up for an early start to the day.
it's not the mafia, it's the CIA and the state department trying to mind control the developing nations of the world.
