Apple: iMus Gangster Rap Player Shelved

(2007-04-12) — Apple Inc. stock dropped seven percent in early trading today on news that the controversy surrounding racial remarks by radio personality Don Imus would delay release of Apple’s new digital gangsta rap player, dubbed the iMus (pronounced eye-myooz).

The iMus features Apple’s signature pure white design on a player specifically tuned to accentuate the heavy bass, brutal racial epithets and graphic sexual content of some of today’s most popular music.

An unnamed spokesman for Apple said, “It’s unfortunate that the bad behavior of one man would deprive so many music lovers of a device that could increase their enjoyment of today’s most important artists.” --- Hat Tip: Scott Ott / ScrappleFace
