So, I was just reading this article here about how the Levi jeans company is adding a special pocket to their pants to keep Ipods. Is anyone out there tired of hearing about Ipods? I mean...even the ones who HAVE one?! Everything these days are engineered around this little gadget. Next thing we know, software will start shipping with "Apple IPOD compatible" stickers on them. Your toilet will have an "IPOD Inside" logo on the tank. It kinda reminds me of the Atkins craze (which is now thankfully dying out). What's funny is buying a thing of Planters peanuts and having a big label on the side that says "0 Carbs!!". Dieticians out there should get a kick out of that one. Blah I say.

yeah, that 0 carb thing is pretty funny. What also used to catch my attention is the 0 fat label on things like lolipops, hard candy or cotton candy. Like you would actually expect something that is all sugar to have fat in it. It's like a bag of sugar having a big Fat Free label on it.
