Bruce made the same mistake I did. When I first read about Obama giving Queen Elizabeth II an iPod, I thought it was a funny April Fools Joke. Wrong. Now I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Sounds like it was a video iPod, at least.
I’m wondering if they came up with this regal gift idea after Obama’s staff rejected what no doubt was the first suggestion for the Queen’s gift: A new upsampling region free DVD player so the Queen could enjoy the Obama’s last state gift with her Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. No, too tacky I suppose.
Apparently, according to a Drudge Report article, the IPod was filled with Obama’s speeches. Talk about your narcissistic behaviour.
