iTod Rocks the Cradle
"If you don't start training them young, your kids may never grow up to realize their full consumer potential. So quit doddling and get your toddler an iTod. This pint-size MP3 player from Fisher-Price makes zoning out to the five-and-under set's greatest hits child's play. It comes preloaded with six songs, including Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, and even includes icons to improve usability among those who haven't yet learned to read."

Oh dear. Nooo!!! Just, just no!
Read to a kid to make it smarter, if you must but since when are babies supposed to learn things like that! Let them learn how to uncurl their fingers or wave but I mean, seriously!!!!!!!!

I love music, and I think music for little kids is great (you know, all that stuff about kids being more musical if they listen to it when young) but damn... why something so expensive?

This is aimed at babies! Music is great but that young!

my mom used to sing to me. I was singing before I was speaking, actually. I think that helps, but an iTod? cmon...

Though I really enjoy the name. iTod. lol...

Singing to a child is different to forcing an electric device at it.

oh yes, I totally agree. I think any parent who is too lazy to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to their child obviously has issues.

Apparently, children listening to music while unborn also benefit [from music].

Yeah. Babies need music, but the idea of an iTod is just marketing. Funny, though. Maybe when I have a baby I'll get a picture of one and make it sound like the music's coming out of it. Babies with style AND sense. =D

lol DE... so cute~!

i guess there are just some people that you cant save.

anyone who owns an ipod should be shot.

DE, if you do that kind of thing to your kid i will have to contact child services.
