The Elton John iPod Has Sparkles, Needs Sunglasses

I know what you want. You want an iPod nano, covered in 250 color-coordinated Swarovski crystals and donning Elton John’s signature. Wait, you don’t? WELL IT HELPS FIGHT AIDS YOU JERKS! DON’T YOU HATE AIDS???

Offered through Goldgenie (read: not Apple), Elton’s personalised iPod nanos complete with his Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits CD pre-installed can be yours for $US565 (8GB) or $US640 (16GB). We realise that sounds like a lot, but keep in mind that 12.5% of each purchase goes back to the the Elton John AIDS Foundation—or $US45 (8GB) and $US51 (16GB). Only 100 of each colour will be puked on with a mixture of crystals and adhesive.

Like most of the reasonable public, I’d pay 50 or so bucks not to carry one of these iPods, so maybe I should just mail in my cheque and have it done with. [Goldgenie via ShinyShiny]
