My Rantings and Other Non-Sensical Thoughts

I'm sure by now everyone's heard of the free ipod deal that's online. I thought it was a scam, so I never wanted to try it, although I was dying for an ipod. Well, our local Fox station did an investigative report on this deal last week (click on the link to Fox, then on the left side click on "One Your Side", then click on "Steve's Story Links" and it turns out it's legitimate! All you have to do is sign up for one of their offers and then have 5 friends sign up too and you get a free ipod! The reporter and 3 other people did it & all received their ipod as promised. The terms and conditions state that it could be a refurbished ipod, but the ones they received in the report were brand new. They took it to an Apple store & they confirmed that not only were they shipped direct from Apple, but they were brand new!

freeipod.com offers a 20GB ipod! That's 5000 songs! I just signed up and the deal I chose was a 2 week free trial to Blockbuster's online movie rental thing. I have to keep my membership for the full 2 weeks. I'll probably forget to cancel on that last day, but it's only $17.95. Then I'll cancel. :) We've belonged to netflix for over 2 years now, so I don't want to leave them, but I think a 20GB ipod is worth $17.95! This is a $299 ipod!!!!

Now, here's the catch: I *WON'T* get my ipod unless 5 friends sign up **and** complete an offer! Please, please, please sign up! I'll do for you if you do for me!!!!! You have to use this special link so I get credit for your sign-up. You may get spam, so sign up with a non-work address. I used my Yahoo address.

Let me know when you join so I can start salivating over my ipod! They also have freedesktoppcs.com, freehandbags.com, freeflatscreentvs.com and I'm sure others. Hmmmm a dell dimension desktop for the price of a blockbuster online membership? Sounds fabulous, even if it isn't a top of the line computer. For someone w/o a computer, *any* computer is good for $18! lol Wonder if they have freerefrigerators.com or freehousesiding.com --- good lord, imagine the possibilities. :)

Thanks, guys!!!!
