iDie Apple ad Parody

While on my way to and from work everyday I am constantly astonished by the sheer number of white iPod headphone cords I spot. Of course I'm one of those people too. It sure does make me feel like just another lemming consumer... [ Though 1) I do think that iPods are great devices and 2) I probably would have bought another brand, but got an iPod as a gift. ]

Seeing so many of the white cords inevitably makes me think about my daily struggles with my messy tangle of headphone wires. The ear buds always work their way into a knot, and are always such a hassle to extract. Plus I have the Apple iPod remote which adds an additional length of wirey confusion. Somewhere in the space between these two separate issues I came up with the morbid thought that one day an iPod lemming will end up choking on a tangled cord. Or, even more morosely, committing suicide using the signature cords to hang themselves (Please don't try this at home. This parody was performed by a trained stunt professional) So that is how the iDie Apple ad parody came to being. I guess it's pretty sick and weird, but I couldn't help myself. I seriously need some Shure earbuds and a shrink.
