Comcast Sending Out Mystery iPods?
Brian W. is befuddled. He got a strange gift from Comcast in the mail the other day. For a change, it wasn't a picture of a naked Comcast tech, flabbily draped across a faux tiger skin rug, holding a heart-shaped box of candies before his genitals.
- Yesterday, I was sent a package from a Comcast shipping center in Dallas. The only thing inside the envelope was an Apple iPod Shuffle. No note, or anything. Just an iPod shuffle.
Have you heard of anything going on that may have inspired this rare form of Comcast generosity?
No, we haven't. And neither has Google, as far as we can tell. Does anyone have any ideas? Anyone else gotten one from Comcast? Let us know. It does seem to be a suspicious act of random generosity from an otherwise contemptible company.
This is a test using rich text formatting and html links. It's the generic "company" ad that should appear on all posts with the Company category if they don't have an ad attached to a specific company.

"Will do the needful?"
WTFull?
'Dank you. Come again'.
Next, will be an envelope from Comcast containing nothing but a past due invoice for an Ipod.
Was there anything preloaded on the shuffle?
Your buds at Gizmodo say Comcast might be prepping a music and video store, so maybe they are seeding their subscribers with random iPods?
I got one also. I called Comcast and they were oblivious (shocking, I know). It wasn't preloaded - it was wrapped in original packaging, apparently unopened. We joked that it would be proceeded by an invoice for an iPod shuffle. Nothing so far and I've had it for over a month now.
I had the same thing happen and when I called Comcast they were just as surprised as I.
Undoubtedly it is the work of terrorists. Take great care and ship the suspicious item to me where my crack team of counterterrorism specialists will do the needful and render it safe for ordinary Americans.
