In LA

My first thought upon seeing the name of this product was that finally former two-time heavyweight champion George Foreman had had enough with the iPod craze, and was now selling a grill designed specifically for frying iPods to death, with a sales pitch along the lines of:

The non-stick surface makes it easy for Georgetta to remove well-done iPods from the grill. Any melted white plastic drips down the center channel of the angled grill and into the removable tray for easy cleanup by George VI.

It turns out that my first guess was completely wrong. Here’s part of the actual product description:

The unique appliance not only grills, but it can also provide music to help set the mood–whether romantic or fun and festive during a party. For music capabilities, the unit comes equipped with a 10-watt speaker and the ability to be used with an iPod or MP3 player.

I’ll readily concede that there may be one or two people out there who would really like a large indoor-outdoor electric grill that can also play music, but I’m convinced that the very existence of the George Foreman iPod Grill is a sign that the end is near.
