Apple Sells iPod Socks

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the color-coordination-is-critical dept.

Isao writes "Not paying any attention to the date, Apple has available the next must-have iPod accessory. Not headphones, not a remote, not even video. It's... socks. For the undressed iPod, a collection of socks, color-coordinated for any and every occasion. Be the envy of the sockless ones for a mere $29.95 (for six). No, really."

    This is for serious? I do believe this will go down as one of the greatest incidents of branding going a bit too far.

    These were in my local Apple store several weeks ago. Nothing new here. And why would anyone really care? If Apple makes a new USB cable accessory, nobody creams their shorts on blogs. Keep the brand lust to the actual hardware?

    Perhaps this year's /. April Fools Joke is that we were supposed to figure out which article WASN't fake. In that case, this is (unfortunately) it.

    I don't know. I think there's some intentional irony here.
