Apple Sues Over iGasm Ads
funkeymonkeyman writes "Apple is less than pleased with an interesting new peripheral for the iPod which promises to 'take your appreciation of music to a whole new level.' Legal action has been taken against Ann Summers, the manufacturers of the new device, specifically for the similarity of the iGasm advertisements to the iconic iPod silhouette ads. The CEO of the adult retail chain replied to the threat cheerily, 'Perhaps I can send them an iGasm to put a smile back on their faces.'"
But iCame.
Rather than sue, Apple can fight fire with fire by introducing the OrgPod.

Personally, I'm surprised they haven't started suing the iGoatse [link]...which almost makes me wish I had an iPod ;)
iNot gonna click that link. Volunteers?

Sex. That is all.
A few years back, RMS released GNU/Gasm, an open source package similar to this one. The only downside was that it only worked with his songs.
My wife bought a MS-Dildows 2.0, but it got stuck in there. We can't get it out until we put a new battery in, but the battery opening is facing inward. I told her before to use Lipnux instead, but she had to go conventional.

The screaming, it's so damn loud
Anger or pleasure?

THANK GOD!!!
... welcome our new iGasm vibrated female colleague overload!
I tried it. It hurt my bum.
Hang on, this is for chicks to use? Man, was I duped...
When they came for the communists, I said "He's next door. Take him away. Goddam commies."
I'd have to say that the Metallica song whiplash would even make Hilary Clinton smile with this outfit. (turn it up Bill, turn it UP!!!) We might even get lucky, and she'll be so happy that it will keep her out of politics. (one can only wish)
Life was hell, then I discovered Linux...
...why the Apple silhouette shakes so much.
I made the same mistake. Now she loves it, not me. I miss her.
it works better on the black ipod with the red click wheel

Yike -- poor choice of words! How soon until iTubGirl?!
But they are trying to form a cultural monopoly... Very much like what Microsoft is doing. But different from Microsoft, in this case at least, they are using the society's negative feelings towards women's sexuality when it is freed of men. It is also interesting to observe how women's sexuality is desirable for Apple (just like for any other corporation) when it is the object of the male gaze, and undesirable when it is depicted as self-governing, hence not needing the presence of a penis.
You're posting to slashdot. With account name "appleguru". And your link goes to a site about modding video game consoles. Of the millions of people reading slashdot, I can count on one hand the number of people that believe you.
Unless by "girlfriend" you meant "girl I barely know, who filed sexual harrassment charges after I creeped her out with an OhMiBod vibrator gift." That one I'd believe.
Back in my day we had to use popsickle sticks, paperclips, and wound-up rubberbands. (That's where the name "whippersnapper" came from.) You young'uns have it easy. Kiss my iShov you spoiled punks!

This is about the third time something like this has come up and I can't believe I still haven't seen the alternate name iRod suggested.

Confusion?
If you can't tell the difference between a sex toy & a portable music player, then.... well, let's just say I don't want to borrow your iPod.
There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.
Exactly, I never heard of it before this. Now I'm going to buy one for my wife just to see it in action.

See "Wife", Read "self".
See "just to see it in action", read "to replace the electric toothbrush".
Sorry, saw the joke and took it.
Well, I'm considering one now. For my wife, of course. I've always wanted to wire my wife's vibrator to my guitar, only she doesn't have one. :(
Like what I said? You might like my music
It's bad enough on its own, but can you imagine the horrific "action shots" featuring out-of-shape wannabe geeks in those... things, if they sold it on ThinkGeek?!
Besides which, it reads "To Go Where No Man Has Gone Before". What happened to the infinitive-splitting "boldly"?- your average nerd *will* complain about such things.
That Ann Summers site is cheesier than a Swiss cheese factory, too.

"iAnal"
You do? Maybe we should talk.
"Growing old is inevitable; growing up is optional."
Is this one of those funny translation things where we say 'fries' and you say 'chips' and we say 'chips' and you say 'crisps' and we say 'overpriced underwear store' and you say 'sex shop'? Because as far as I know, Victoria's Secret doesn't sell toys, whips, chains, or anything but expensive underwear. Though maybe that's what you meant by 'harder-core' and if so, yes, sex toys are harder-core than just plain old underwear.

Indeed, the existence of an Apple-branded vibrator was foreseen on the net: the iBrator.

iAnal? Is that a seperate product or just an attachment?!

Did she just (very politely) tell Steve Jobs to stick it up his ass?
But what the hell does this have to do with assembly language? ;-)
I think iBrator would be a better name for it personally...
Apparently she's unafraid to get screwed by an Apple.
