- GeekSwag, on 11/23/2007, -4/+377As you may know, you can order an iPod from the Apple Store with a custom, laser-engraved message. However, not everything gets engraved. Apple has been rejecting some messages for editorial reasons.
The following is a collection of engravings that were actually rejected by Apple, and some that probably should have been. Enjoy!

for(;;i++)d[i]=d[i]%26+65;
If you use the first line, as the input for the second line. It produces the text "This music was all stolen" in plain english. ~asterisk - Eslamicolt3, on 11/23/2007, -4/+246"Trapped in iPod Factory. Please send help"
That's pretty good - Kyrgizion, on 11/23/2007, -13/+23029 diggs, one comment, 10$ webserver => dead
- l00s3r, on 11/23/2007, -1/+160How about, "This engraving has lowered my resale value".
- munky100, on 11/23/2007, -7/+161* sighs *
http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:lv4kXsETjrYJ: ... - redxii, on 11/23/2007, -5/+97"Mic0s0f7 5ux a$$"
How's that clever and/or funny, and who's Micosoft? - naturemade, on 11/23/2007, -3/+66"Trapped in iPod Factory. Please send help" -- I really like this one.
- porch88, on 11/23/2007, -3/+62In case my iPod was stolen, I tried to make the thief feel bad by engraving "Exodus 20:15" on it it. The verse is "Thou shalt not steal."
I'm sure it wouldn't have worked though. - mywhitenoise, on 11/23/2007, -8/+66"one time, at band camp"
...that ***** was never funny, and I wish that movie never existed. - RajDhillon, on 11/23/2007, -1/+58Maybe because it's supposed to be "Bite my shiny metal ass"
- Subterfug, on 11/24/2007, -6/+59I know what would make a good engraving...
09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0 - eliah, on 11/23/2007, -4/+47no, but pageviews α diggs
- arichard, on 11/23/2007, -14/+50hm... not that funny :-/
- Smeed, on 11/23/2007, -3/+39But there is no denying that there is a correlation.
- noahhoward, on 11/23/2007, -16/+52Diggs != pageviews.
- fcukbush, on 11/23/2007, -14/+49... for everthing else there's mastercard
- spod111, on 11/23/2007, -0/+34for(;;i++)d[i]=d[i]%26+65;
No use dude - infinite loop. Don't look at it or you'll be trapped there forever! - ImWatchingYou, on 11/24/2007, -3/+31Someone sucks at photoshop.
- benjic, on 11/24/2007, -0/+28Its the HD-DVD Hex Processing Key
If you visit this site called digg you ca.... wait a sec, you don't know what that is? - andycr512, on 11/24/2007, -0/+26I was hoping it was cases where the engraving machine went insane and made strange-looking engravings.
- saifatlast, on 11/23/2007, -1/+27His gay what? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!
- mrfreeziexp, on 11/23/2007, -4/+24http://72.14.253.104/search?hs=sUq&hl=en&lr=&c2cof ...
gCache caught it. Yes, I think I'm clever. - meez, on 11/23/2007, -4/+22"Lick My Shiny Metal Ass"
Omg! How can they even think about rejecting that? :( - DaleoftheUK, on 11/24/2007, -0/+18* This iPod will self destruct in 1 year.* ~dale
Word. - SEANWOOKIE, on 11/24/2007, -1/+19I like "Property of Mitchell Henderson." the best.
- morninglorii, on 11/23/2007, -5/+22Looks like Apple's legal team has attacked their servers.
- saifatlast, on 11/23/2007, -8/+24Yeah, but the value of that proportionality constant is pretty important, and entirely unknown. It could be 10000 or it could be 8. We don't even really have an order of magnitude to work with.
- bubbakja, on 11/24/2007, -1/+16I got a fortune cookie that said "Help I'm trapped in a chinese fortune cookie factory"
- candyman682, on 11/23/2007, -8/+23i like "10,000 stolen songs inside"
- heavyd14, on 11/24/2007, -0/+14So, everyone then?
- tmoney578, on 11/23/2007, -1/+13groan... half of these are all sex/masturbation jokes.
- Evacide, on 11/24/2007, -2/+13He was an hero.
- meez, on 11/24/2007, -1/+12My reading comprehension has failed me. The shame!
- DEFSMAC, on 11/23/2007, -12/+21some of those are pretty clever. still like mine better though - i follow trends.
- nunofgs, on 11/24/2007, -0/+8"If found unattended,
avenge my death!" - thetinguy, on 11/23/2007, -2/+9No. Stupid ***** cats.
- sl123000, on 11/24/2007, -2/+9Yeah...they were, you just don't have a sense of humor.
- sfinney180, on 11/24/2007, -2/+9"what can i say zunes are getting harder to find"
- serra, on 11/24/2007, -0/+6I can't believe they would have the audacity to refuse anything that anyone wanted on there. Someone is paying money for the item and writing, so who gives a ***** if they want something "not pc" or whatever on there?
- digthedug, on 11/24/2007, -0/+6http://digg.com/apple/Rejected_iPod_Engravings
This is 2 years old - munky100, on 11/23/2007, -15/+20http://www.d8i.com/myipod.jpg
- lamer, on 11/24/2007, -1/+6A wedding proposal -- an engraved iPod -- what could go wrong?
http://www.bittlucky.com/adnstory.php - arjie, on 11/24/2007, -0/+5Ha ha, I remember in the old Red Hat (8, 9?) installation process there were those images under the progress bar that tout the product and some of them were fortune cookies. One went, "Help! I'm trapped in a server room and have to write fortune cookies for food!" or something like that. Pretty funny.
- mrmacky, on 11/23/2007, -5/+9I liked all the ones hating on the RIAA
"Contents under pressure from RIAA"
and
"10,000 stolen songs" are two of my favs. Now I need to go buy an engraving. - benjic, on 11/24/2007, -1/+5So, I would just go to a third party laser engraver. You could sell the iPods that have banned engravings.
- MacParrot, on 11/24/2007, -4/+8So in other words, hockey is a homophobe AND stupid. Two things that really always seem to go together.
- tektalk, on 11/24/2007, -0/+4Creatures you'll never get to confront for as long as you digg.
- TH3W1R3D, on 11/24/2007, -0/+4Yup, everyone but the women.
- andrewry, on 11/24/2007, -2/+5And saying it is down contributes so much to Digg!
- Drewboy64, on 11/24/2007, -0/+3What are women?
