- yosempai, on 10/14/2007, -21/+503Are they sure it wasn't just bricked?
- steveoco, on 10/12/2007, -40/+353If Apple sold 'iRocks' at $150 i am sure the fanboys would buy them...
- bigkm, on 10/20/2007, -10/+320was hoping for a devastating video
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -16/+281Maybe it was running rockbox? ;)
- Cubedude04, on 10/14/2007, -34/+238Apple is in for a rocky relationship with that customer
- inactive, on 10/14/2007, -7/+175That's what she gets for doubting Santa Claus.
- crazybugger, on 10/14/2007, -21/+147pic or did not happen ?
- danjal, on 10/14/2007, -7/+132As a shop owner, I would have given her the cash back, and ripped my suppliers a new one!
- r00tus3r, on 10/14/2007, -17/+138I bet those rocks were still loaded with a bunch of DRM crap.
- Browncoat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+102I can understand only offering store credit for a replacement after the first one, but when they opened the second box of rocks infront of everyone they should have offered a refund right there.
- QueEsAmor, on 10/14/2007, -0/+99There is a very helpful picture of a bunch of rocks, to illustrate exactly what was in the box in case there was any uncertainty...of what rocks look like.
- keyboardduder, on 10/12/2007, -5/+78And even though it would be a rock, the fanboys would defend it to the very last keystroke.
- honeymustardn, on 10/14/2007, -6/+73Rock pun.
- otakugeek, on 10/14/2007, -2/+68They did get the store credit to buy another one, the second one also had rocks in it.
- ripple123, on 10/11/2007, -1/+66Doesn't the law require them to be offered a repair, replacement or a refund in the result of defective or nonexistent goods?
- Braingoo, on 10/14/2007, -3/+65Yhea on her birthday no less.
- kuek1991, on 10/14/2007, -4/+65It's obviously the Zen Stone.
- mek11, on 10/10/2007, -2/+63I never though I'd say this about Target... But that's some bull *****. If that was me, I'd totally be making a scene in the middle of the store. Give me my money back or open the iPod before I buy it. You'd think either of the store managers at those stores would bend the rules a little in this situation. They should be fired.
- GreatWhiteShaky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+59Lol had a similar thing happen to me once. When I was younger I bought one of the lego pod racers and upon opening found it to be full of cashews.
- flamingmb, on 10/10/2007, -12/+66They probably had someone buy an ipod at both stores and then return it with rocks inside. Its not that uncommon. I have heard of people returning expensive under counter lcd tvs with bricks inside.
Now its an entirely different story if the ipods were factory shrink wrapped though. I guess lead wouldnt be the only thing china is exporting. - BiggestAl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+49At least you can eat the cashews
- danasghar, on 10/11/2007, -1/+44Its not *****. Last week I bought a Ipod classic (which i have since returned and got the Touch instead) from Circuit City. Got it home and opened it only to find a bag full of dirt. Took it back to Circuit City and after horrible customer service the manager alerted me that there is a sting going around the east coast with new Ipods, he had recieved an email from his corporate office.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockbox - coolsteve, on 10/11/2007, -3/+40Once I saw this title, I knew that this was about Target.
This happened to a friend of mine before. But instead of rocks, he got pennies wrapped up in packaging tape. Unfortunately, he wasn't even given store credit for his purchase though. - rullingen, on 10/12/2007, -4/+41dont you just hate it when 12 year olds are let on the internet's?
- NeoCortex, on 10/11/2007, -2/+38The pet rock was a great idea. The guy made a million dollars!
- barroni, on 10/10/2007, -7/+41Like bigkm said I would be doing video of my 14 yr old crying her eyes out on her birthday
And posting it to you tube ASAP - n3demonic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34That's nuts
- nunofgs, on 10/12/2007, -9/+38Oh, SNAP!
- MtheoryX, on 10/10/2007, -6/+34From the article, it actually appears to be (PWN3D) ^ 2
- adidax, on 10/12/2007, -7/+35In Soviet Russia, iPod rocks you.
- towlie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28RTFA
- TotalHalibut, on 10/12/2007, -10/+37That gift rocks.
- FireStrife, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24swing and a miss.
- PersonX2, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30wow, has public education taught you nothing? Bricks are made of CLAY!
- PFinn, on 10/12/2007, -5/+28The rock jokes and puns on the articles comment section were ridiculous...
- parkamark, on 10/11/2007, -0/+23I would have thought that too, as there is such a thing as consumer rights. I just read the article and if I was in that same shop, I would be making a scene and wanting to speak to someone higher up - and I would be wanting a full refund, as, at the end of the day, they've sold me something which is blatantly not what I want or indeed expected to get, for my money - which in some people's eyes could be classed as fraud. I'm no lawyer but if she hinted on taking this to court, I think they would start to rapidly resolve the rock problem and get the girl a proper iPod as, legally, they have no grounds to stand on, regardless of their own terms and conditions or store policies.
- JohnnyXmas, on 10/11/2007, -7/+29WHAT?!
No "Rock Music" puns? Who are you, and what have you done with the REAL Diggers? - pwnies, on 10/10/2007, -3/+25Your syntax is all off man. First off, its "Pics", not pic. One pic alone could mean photoshop. Due to the plurality of the preceeding noun, the rest of the sentence will be, " or it didn't happen". However, this is not a question. So there's no need for your space-to-question-mark-c-c-c-combo. It's an order and a statement. Thus, an exclamation mark is needed. Like so:
"!"
See now that wasn't hard at all was it? (Note how since this was a question we used the question mark. Stunning, I know). Feel free to garnish the end of the statement with extra "!!" or "1111" after it.
Now for the finished product:
"Pics or it didn't happen!!!111" - AlmostEvil, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24And behold the massive loss in audio quality of converting from lossy -> lossless -> lossy again.
- noreturn, on 10/10/2007, -3/+25Did you even read his comment? It's a perfectly valid theory.
- Matt174e, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21FAIL
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Have you seen the women that shop there? That's reason enough.
- adude, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21What are the chances of that happening to one person in such a short period of time from two stores? I find it impossible to believe.
- LoopyChew, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21You can eat rocks, too!
Incidentally, does anyone know a good dentist in the northern New Jersey area? - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Maybe the iPods were from the future. After one year of use, the rock is better performing anyway. And the rock will never be stolen, need service or expensive batteries.
- mlvassallo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20WTF? Seriously. Two boxes of rocks? And Target doesn't have a PR department that can right an issue like this right away?
This story smells funny... - kingkilr, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21... pwnage is additive not multiplicative.
- Shurikane, on 10/12/2007, -12/+30I see what you did there...
