Did You Like Our List Of Rejected iPod Engravings?
Just another reminder, only the entries with a * were actually rejected by Apple. All other entries were just made up by our readers. The staff at WIRED took issue with our list of rejected iPod engravings and said the following:
“MethodShop.com has a rather disappointing list of rejected iPod engravings. Three quarters of the submissions have obviously been made up but about a dozen appear to be real; none of them is very funny.”
We disagree. Several of the rejected iPod engravings are funny, or at least humorous. Sorry if our readers aren’t funny enough to meet WIRED’s elite comedy standards.
If you have either a real rejected iPod engraving, or even just a funny one, please send it to us. And if you enjoyed this article, or just want to say hi, then please leave a comment. Thanks.
