One iPod Nano, medium rare

We at Crave enjoy a good steak as much as anyone, but just the sight of this thing is enough to clog the arteries of the most dedicated carnivore. No ordinary iPod case, it's made to resemble Japan's famed Kobe beef.

It figures that this was made by SolidAlliance, the company that has brought us gems ranging from a disco ball mouse to a UFO-detecting strap. We've got to hand it to their detailed eye: Even the packaging resembles a real slab of beef, complete with a Styrofoam-looking tray and weight label with bar code.

And we appreciate that they chose a prime cut, rather than something trendy like skirt steak or pedestrian like top sirloin. The marbling looks excellent.

****, jay, nobody cares about your pathetic cigarette addiction.

Anyways, the blog world is excellent fodder for the asinine geniuses who come up with this stuff, maybe if we stopped talking about those damned Swarovski crystals or ranting about wrapping out 'pods in red meat, we'd have less of the insanity.
