Obamas Give Queen Elizabeth an iPod
Ponca City, We love you writes "What did the Obamas give Queen Elizabeth II on Wednesday when they arrived at Buckingham Palace? An Obama aide reported the queen was given an iPod loaded with video and photos of her 2007 trip to the United States, as well as songs and accessories. She also received a rare songbook signed by the composer Richard Rodgers. The gift issue had come up after Prime Minister Gordon Brown visited the White House last month. Mr. Brown gave Mr. Obama a pen holder carved from the timber of an anti-slave ship, receiving in return a DVD box set of American movies, igniting a torrent of criticism in the British press. According to news reports, the queen gave the Obamas a silver-framed signed photograph — a gift she gives to all visiting dignitaries."
Christ Slashdot, this is not news.

Yes, the Prez's Blackberry security is a valid thing to talk about on Slashdot, but this submission seems like a setup for political bashing or royals bashing or just plain stupid gossip and simply has no fucking place here.
This is why I will never ever pay for Slashdot.
This is why I block all Slashdot sponsor ads.
This is why Mr Tard-e McTardison samzenpus' submissions are no longer going to be displayed to me.
