Hey Jealousy

If only I had bought pre-iPod Apple stock.....

I probably wouldn't be blogging right now, I'd be sleeping, which at 1:30 pm on a Thursday seems like a totally viable thing to do if you're filthy rich (not a corporate slave to big oil) and as utterly lazy as I happen to be. Instead, the rich get richer and here I am, typing away.

Our favorite silhouette-commerical technological juggernaut sold it's one-billionth iTunes song today and the lucky person was handsomely rewarded for not stealing music like the rest of us.
In the spirit of iPod elitism; the winner gets 10 iPods, which can serve no other valid purpose other than to tell everybody else that you've got 9 more iPods than they do. And PS: Suck it.

It is pretty sweet to have a music scholarship named after you, though. If anything, it's gotta make for a cool t-Shirt for the kid who gets it: "Some jackass who's too dumb to use P2P software won 10g's, 10 iPods, and a sweet iMac and all I got was this lousy music scholarship."

At least the guy was downloading something arguably reasonable: the new Coldplay album. Can you imagine if the whole world knew you won the one-billionth song contest downloading something totally random that you've had stuck in your head all day because Toonces mentioned it in the TOB...like the Neverending Story Theme?

Which reminds me: I still want a Falcor.
