ARRR!

So on Tuesday Apple added a whole new slew of TV shows to iTunes -- all from NBC owned networks -- including one of my favorites: The Office. That night, I'm watching the latest episode and the plot revolves around a secret Santa Christmas party. Despite the $20 cap on the cost for gifts, somebody spent $400 on ... a video iPod. They then go on to drop the word "iPod" no less than a dozen times.

Seriously, Apple. Are those things not popular enough as it is? You need that much product placement? Next thing you know the Losties will find a Nano in the Hatch.

MEANWHILE: Sal's got a new column up ... and don't miss Pirate riddles for sophisticates (thanks, Chuck!)
