pic: Woohoo! I've got an ipod!

I can safely say it is not mine.
I had nothing to do with this.

I will provide proof if necessary.

I think Andy Baker is trying to bring back "I am JVN"...since it will never die.

To answer Amanda's question........YES! I don't know about "I am John V'Neun" being added in but that photo WAS modified (Photoshopped) before being submitted to CD-47 Bot. Look at the bottom of the ipod. All the writing is legible except for the serial number so someone definitely blurred it out. So it could very well be possible that "I am JVN" was added in.

Sometimes you just have to study the photo carefully.

i concur with your good eyes, but as you said possible =D... i see no reason why or how it could be photoshopped, where you can see that there is depth to the engraving of it... and you can still send in ANY ipod for 25-50 bucks and get it engraved... so i feel 95% sure its the real deal...

Windows Media Video showing my iPod, reflecting in the light. No engraving.

Maybe its just my eyes, but I think I can see significantly worse compression artifacts around the "I am JVN" suggesting that it was added to an existing jpeg and recompressed. The text also looks different in general on close inspection. If it was a fake, it was simply white text overlayed the picture. It was a good choice of picture though...

I call BS. The engraving on my iPod is not nearly that thick.

That doesn't mean it's not funny.

You went to way too much effort to prove that...lol

[DCA Fan]

I dunno what's worse, the fact that you made that video or the fact that I actually downloaded it to see what was on there......

[Jay H 237]

Hmmmm, maybe the ipod belongs to CD47-Bot. He has remained awfully quiet on this. Instead of changing the custom user title to "I am JVN" like scores of us did he decided to out do us all and get an ipod engraved! Or atleast make us think it with Photoshop.

The only bad thing about getting something like that permanently done is you have to ask yourself "What will you do if JVN winds up not being cool anymore?!" Although we all know there's no chance in that happening!



P.S. I am well aware that the 'Bot ain't human.

[Ben Lauer]

THE CD47-BOT isn't human?!?!?!? Oh man...I have been the one giving reps for all those cool pics it posts!!

J/K By the way...who ever is don't that...it cracked me up when it's rep was higher than mine!

And sorry for posting off topic.

LOL... I do!

As for the ipod...

You guys are on the case, I see. I'll admit, there is a twist. One person has nailed it already.

Anyone noticed that the ipod is all scratched up on the back, when they claim it's "new". Heck, my new one has absolutely no scratches after 2 days.

[Amanda Morrison]

Hey now... in my defense, I'm not completely old and blind... I can tell with the blurred serial number that it was photoshopped, but I'm having trouble seeing the engraving photoshopped. Can anyone blow it up or anything?

p.s. - How the heck could the Pig Farmer learn to use photoshop?! I think he was crazy enough to actually order one.

p.p.s. - who said it was new?
