Are iPods Inherently Evil?

...Mark of the iPod.

...Mark of the Beast!

The iPod...

A revolutionary, portable, media device unleashed on human civilization by Apple in October of 2001. Since it's initial release it has become more powerful, more popular, and has more functionality than anyone could have ever imagined.

Over the years it has reached an almost god-like status in the eyes of its owners, but is not without some nefarious drawbacks...

It has become the preferred way to provide yourself auditory pleasure, but at the same time can destroy your hearing if it is used too often at high volumes.
It gives its owner the convenience and joy of having their entire music collection in one small device, but at the same time can invoke feelings of complete despair with one trip to a puddle or with the slightest electronic malfunction.
It can provide a wonderful escape from the world around us, but at the same time can render you completely oblivious to an oncoming vehicle or that you are being targeted for mugging.

When you look at a device that is so well loved and has such wonderful applications, but at the same time can be so destructive to humans, one thing comes to mind...

The Devil.

Now, I love my iPod, and did not want to accept that it could actually be damning my soul for eternity, but upon closer examination of the logo, I believe that I have now uncovered indisputable proof that my soul and the souls of other iPod users are in great and immediate peril.

I think the included images speak for themselves.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I think this is pretty solid evidence of a demonic plot.

I've always thought Apple was up to something.

The Church of the Subgenius would call this proof that 'Bob is God'. Or something like that.

But if you're worried about your soul, they might sell you one of their 'blessed' ipods.

Randilly-

In all honesty, my soul was long gone before the iPod was just a glimmer in a nerds eye.

I suppose if I was purchasing for a loved one that I knew to be pure of soul (there aren't many), I might consider the "blessed" iPod...

...But don't you think the music on it would suck?

Thanks for your comments!

I had to look that up to find out what it was, and no.
