Introducing The iPod Ninja

Even if Apple told us the whole “Steve with Ninja stars” story was fake, Scoopertino has the real, ehm, scoop. It turns out, Steve Jobs wasn’t carrying shuriken around - no. Those were new and  unreleased iPods.

World, meet the iPod Ninja.

iPod ninja fits into that sweet spot between the iPod touch and a small handgun,” says Apple spokesperson Ted Wetmore. “It gives you peace of mind. You can either enjoy your music on the device — or you can fling it at anyone who looks at you funny. With a little practice, you can take down a foe at 50 feet.”

iPod ninja gives new meaning to the term “death grip”

However, there is a dark side to the new iPod. As iPod ninja sales boom, some blogs are already reporting a “death grip” problem even worse than the one that plagued iPhone 4. If you hold iPod ninja in a certain way, you may require immediate medical care.

Get the whole scoop down at Scoopertino, together with the hilarious full size image of the new “product”.

Oh, Steve. What have you done.
