Apple apologizes to third grader

[Vegeta897]

There has to be a reason why an iPod in the hands of a third grader looks so wrong to so many of us. I don't feel like arguing anymore so I'll leave it at that

I don't understand it at all, the sudden weird shock and appal that I saw in the thread was a big "WTF?!" to me.

Maybe because you were spoiled as a child

 

[Raeven0]

Maybe because you were spoiled as a child

Worse yet, maybe we were deprived and want all kids to suffer because of it

The real problem I have with this is not that she's spoiled (if she is)- it's that she has an iPod. In THIRD GRADE. That thing will be broken in a DAY. I'm serious. Little kids will find a way to break even the toughest of toys; a dinky little mp3 player is nothing to them. Her parents must be either rich, stupid, crazy, apathetic, or all of the above.

i didn't even have a cd-player in 8th grade, and that's a cd player.

I took care of my stuff I dunno about you

If you break your shit you don't get another one! You learn it fast when your parents raise you like that.

I still don't have an iPod. Getting one for my birthday, May 12th, and I expect many presents from hl2net members to arrive on my doorstep that day, too.

 

[Parrot of doom]

Aha, that is the word I needed. "Spoiled."

Third-graders who have iPods are spoiled.

No, Third-graders (this is about 7 years old right?) who have ipods will suffer from premature deafness.

 

[15357]

this is about 7 years old right?

No. 11.

 

[Razor]

She is lucky she got any responce, how would you feel if your supremely successful product (Apple are evil) is criticised by some little girl who writes a letter to you saying "needs more pony pictures on it".

Anyway, i would love to know what her ideas were.

 

[Danimal]

Third Graders are 8 over here, Numbers. D:

 

[Qonfused]

...Why does a third-grader have an iPod?

First thing that I thought.

 

[Parrot of doom]

No. 11.

Ah right. Well, 11 is still too young to listen to personal music, in the same way that 11 is too young to buy alcohol or cigarettes.

 

[CrazyHarij]

who are you to consider when one is old enough to have favourite music?
i had favourite music back when i was 9-10. i started listening to internet radio stations when i was 13.

who gives a **** whether they have an ipod for whatever stupid reason, it's their life isn't it?

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

You've got to be kidding me. Were you guys retarded when you were children or what D: I certainly had taste in music and such back then.

 

[ZeeM]

I certainly had taste in music and such back then.

Backstreet Boys?

 

[Boogymanx]

Backstreet Boys?

I liked Metallica, Iron Maiden, and AC\DC when I was 11.

 

[Que-Ever]

I didn't even form opinions until I was thirteen. You people are all freaks :|

 

[Pesmerga]

I first masturbated when I was 11.

 

[Angry Lawyer]

And you've been doing it, non-stop, since then?

-Angry Lawyer

 

[Pesmerga]

Only when I think of you.

 

[Angry Lawyer]

Aww, you flatter me <3

-Angry Lawyer

 

[JNightshade]

Only Pes can turn Angry Lawyer's HATEHATEHATE into <3

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

Of course Pes can turn hate into love, he has bear powers.

Haha :cheers:

I have the same opinion since 8.

 

[Rupertvdb]

I have the same opinion since 8.

You must have been a very active 8 year old. All those global issues bubbling around your head...*co*lies*ugh*.

lol cause global issues have to be on your mind in order to like music.

Well, not the ones that I've recently acquired, but Communism = bad and stuff like that.
