i was just testing the ipod engraving no no's and noticed that certain racial and other slurs are allowed. someone needs to update the taboo list. that's a whole lot more offensive than someone having f@#k engraved on their ipod.

I'm all in favor of little steps to restore civility, but isn't this the same company whose CEO used the words "kick @$$" to describe its hardware and OS a few months ago?

SJ also used the term 'pissed off' too in the last keynote.
 
Not "kick ass" and "pissed off" .... :rolleyes:

come on guys get serious ....

IF you really want to have some sort of swear words on your iPod, i'm sure that if you call apple they will be more then happy to accommodate you on special request

Considering Apple was made to remove the comment "Hell just froze over." for their iTunes Windows ad on their homepage, I doubt they'd risk a lawsuit from a horde of angry parents who found their children with the words "bitch" or other colorful metaphors engraved onto their iPods.

Pardon my stupidity, but when was apple forced to remove that, and by whom?
 
Back when they introduced iTunes for Windows. The headline on the main page read "Hell froze over." while showing a picture of iTunes on an XP desktop. It was removed less than a week later after a school which had a large contract with Apple had problems with Apple using the word "hell" in their marketing campaign and Apple had to remove it.
 
Nike did the same thing that Apple is doing. One person ordered custom nikes with the word SweatShop written on the side. They wouldn't make the shoes..... No company would deface their own product.
