Pods Unite

burgburgburg writes "Apple has released the QuickTime video of the new commercial they made in conjunction with Volkswagen. The connection between the two? Buy a New Beetle. Get a new iPod. Take a look at video. It's the 15 GB iPod and all the accessories needed to hook it up to the new Volkswagen." It uses a casette adapter, which is really lame. Of course, I use a casette adapter with my iPod, but I am not a German engineer.

Makes sense

It seems like a good idea. Gays like Beetles. Gays like Apple. This could be a winner

Buy a Creative Zen and get some real use out of a mp3 player. It even uses the superior *.wma format.

Wow

If irritating yuppie culture were sugar, this apple-VW synergy would give me tons upon tons of diabetes.

Dear Volkswagen

I am a homosexual. I bought an Volkswagen beatle because of its well earned
reputation for being "the" gay car. Since I have become an Volkswagen owner, I
have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure
to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new volkswagen car as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the
homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more accessories
which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

with much gayness,

Father Randy "pudge" O'Day, S.J.

"German engineering rocks.

Yeah, gotta love those BMWs going down the road with their rear wheels pointing every which way. Or Audi 4000s that break motor mounts and destroy the entire car. Or MB 190s that claim to be an economy car but cost a fortune to repair.

I'll keep my Buick thank you. What fun it is blowing the doors off those overpriced shitboxes.

two overpriced underperforming technologies

Recipe for Rice

[LinuxGeek]

Most cars would be riced out if some of the following are added:

6-inch exhaust can

Chrome wheel covers w/ fake disc brakes

Lowered by cutting springs

Neon lights underneath car

Spent more on vinyl graphics than engine mods

3 foot 'Aero' wing out back


Add some of these to a Civic or mom's hand-me-down Camry and you have instant rice! The wing on the Evo is about the only thing rice-like in your list .

just thought I'd help out you Mac using fags used to speding insane amounts of money, if any motherfucker tries to charge you $100 to install a car radio... slap them around the face with your small penis. I got mine installed for £20.

God that music in the Apple movie is gay....

I'm happy for homosexuals everywhere

[esanbock]

I'm glad we have finally reached a point where companies can come together for the benefit of the homosexual community. This really is great news for progressives everywhere.

Wrong car?

[DavidBrown]

I thought all the Apple freaks were supposed to buy Saturns. I guess I'm out of date.

German engineering my ass.

Of course, I use a cassette adapter with my iPod, but I am not a German engineer. (Spelling correction of "cassette" mine.)

Don't overrate German engineers. They're not nearly as smart as popular belief would have you think. German products are crap, especially their cars and their beer. Jagermeister comes from Germany, and that's crap, too. What do you expect from people who use the Metric system?

I knew a German once. He was ok. But he wasn't an engineer.
