What did my iPod ever do to you?

Why does Tyler hate my iPod?

I don't often have time to read or reply to many of the comments that are left here. After all, it's
The Unofficial Apple Weblog, not The Unofficial Apple WebComment – but this one caught my eye. We must have inspired you all earlier today, as this was
shameless self-promotion at its finest.

The comment was left by a young (?) man named Tyler in response to C.K.'s iPod Porn on Large Blue Poll. It simply said "More people than you think don't like the iPod." There is nothing noteworthy about the comment – but the not-so-subtle link in his "handle" was one I had no choice but to click through to. I am guessing that was the point.

Job well done, Tyler. I not only clicked, but you've been blogged. Happy now?

Now tell me what the hell my iPod ever did to make you hate it so? Unless I was really really drunk when it happened,
I don't think you've ever even met my iPod(s), so what's the deal? Were you forced to milk iPods until your hands bled when you were a small boy on the plantation? Did an iPod bully beat you up in the school yard? Did an iPod wearing clown make-up scare you at the circus? Or maybe you don't really hate my iPod at all. Maybe you loooooooove my iPod but you're actually a 12 year old boy and you're just pretending to hate my iPod so your homeboys don't tease you.

My iPod has a right to confront its enemies... so start talking, you deviant PodHater.
