Life imitates the Onion, pt 2567

Here’s a late candidate for most Onion-like real story of 2005: over Christmas a would-be iPod owner found a piece of sealed “mystery meat” in the music player’s box, rather than the player itself.

It’s the quote in the ABC news story that seals the deal. Says mother, of son getting the prezzie: “He went from joy, really happy joyful,” she said, “then to discover this, just angry and hurt.”

Indeed so.

It doesn’t appear they fried it up to see what, exactly, it was, which is a shame.

In other food news, don’t forget to check out the deep fried pizza porn I left on Flickr for you all, just to prove such delicacies exist in my homeland. The example pictured was scoffed literally moments later by yours truly, and I’ve had absolutely no chest pains yet.
