I'm sorry. I gotta ask. Is it just me, or does the iPod Shuffle look like a phallus (Especially considering the placement of the earbuds. the Silhouette just screams Erection to me. I am secure enough in my sexuality to post this. I am being serious, so no need to post stiffie jokes, or New Hardness (tm) etc .. (Lol .. new hardness haha)


(640x480)
anyways .. it looks like jokes and new blankness will be inevitable to fire away. Come on ... someone else must be thinking this too right? Just no one wants to be the first to post about it .. so .. *Sticks out his neck* ...

Fire away!

I love the taste of that candy, I just buy the refills not the phallus for it.

I know PEZ dispensers; I have several. I grew up with them.

I just utterly fail to see the resemblance. PEZ dispensers all have a head.

I mean, I guess the iPod shuffle is reminiscent of the Twin Towers, a Saturn V, an IKEA thermos, a milk carton, a cellphone, or an upright piano.

No you're not, it's indeed a bit suggestive. But that's a good thing. Sex sells.
