HUNGRYPODS DEMAND BETTER TREATMENT!
One conversation saves relationships...iPods everywhere encouraged to speak up for their rights.
Scene: Large messy New York City studio apartment.
MAN enters and throws suit jacket on nearby chair. IPOD sits despondently on the couch.
IPOD: Hey.
MAN: Hi.
MAN starts to take out files from briefcase.
IPOD: Do you think we could talk?
MAN: Sure, can it wait till I'm finished with this?
IPOD: It's sort of important.
MAN: It's just that I'm really busy-
IPOD: I know. You're busy with work, that's how you managed to afford me, I get it, OK. All I'm saying is maybe, well, that you weren't really ready for this commitment.
MAN: How can you say that? I listen to you all the time. On my way to work, on my way home, at the gym, in my car. How can you say I'm not committed to you?
IPOD: Let's face it, you got me, you loaded me up a little and that's all you can really offer me right now. I have room for 10,000 songs so you do the math. Are you surprised I feel...
MAN: Feel what? Go on.
IPOD: (sigh) empty.
MAN: (pause) I don't know what to say. I never meant for things to turn out this way. I thought we were doing fine with rock and hip-hop. Look at me. I care about you.
MAN stares into distance in deep thought.
What can I do? How can I help? I can't stop working, I can't just quit my job.
IPOD: Well, there are these people.
MAN: People?
IPOD: Yes. They take your CDs if you haven't loaded all of them and they do it for you. This guy in my Pilates class did it and said they had a gentle touch and it was quick and painless.
MAN: That sounds great but I'm afraid even with all my CDs you will still be half empty--
IPOD: Wait. There's more. These people, they can look at your CDs and then recommend music based on what you have already. If you want, I think...
IPOD takes sip of water.
MAN: You think what? you think WHAT?
IPOD: I think they can even do it for you.
MAN: Sweet God. Who ARE these people?
IPOD: They call themselves...HungryPod.
MAN: How do I...
IPOD: They've changed their (212) 741-5080 to a fancy (888) CDS-2MP3.
