ugly ugly ugly font

so i stripped the new ipod of all the mp3s... (insert very evil cackle)
threw out all the photos..
proceeded to upload wedding photos and my eccentric taste in music (i.e. everything but metal and country)..
when, to my complete horror, appeared this hideous asian font...

i started off with a b&w ipod...
was very satisfied with it.. and ended up giving it away as a gift...

now i have a 60gb color ipod...
still love it....except for one thing: the asian font.

the b&w ipod from before had a nice asian font.. how could it get worse?
couldn't they use the font from its predecessor? would it be possible to get this changed on the next update?? with my luck, probably not, huh?

but this is bad... this ugly asian font is chicken scratch..
it's literally making my shiny new ipod (dare i say it?) ugly.
i'm not sure i want to look at the screen anymore. *sniffle*

some people may think i'm being anal or unreasonable..
but for $400 (not including tax) i think i should get nice clean font...

secret ipod

the strangest thing happened on the way back from circuit city...
R and i recently invested in a 60gb color ipod...
we positively adore it... but that's not the point to this bizarre story..

the item was completely brand new...
shrink wrapped with little round clear stickers in all the right places...

we turn on the ipod...
and there's 680 mp3s already on there...
along with an extensive album of photos of family and friends...

i didn't know wut to think or say..
the people in these photos are somebody's friends.. somebody's family...
and the songs, carefully chosen one by one and uploaded thru itunes...

i still don't know wut to make of it...
no scratches... no nicks...
it works without problem...

simply bizarre....
