So, Queen, what’s in your iPod, babe?

I pray to G_d that this is the most elaborate April Fool’s Day joke ever.

Via Allahpundit, Uploaded onto the iPod:

  • Photos from the Queen’s 2007 White House State Visit
  • Photos from the Queen’s 2007 Jamestown, Va., Visit
  • Photos from the Queen’s 2007 Richmond, Va., Visit
  • Video from the Queen’s 1957 Jamestown Visit
  • Video from the Queen’s 2007 Jamestown Visit
  • Video from the Queen’s 2007 Richmond Visit
  • Photos from President Obama’s Inauguration
  • Audio of then-state senator Obama’s speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and
  • Audio of President Obama 2009 Inauguration Address

For the woman who is followed by official photographers during state visits, and who may just have to listen to the O’s speeches while riding her carriage on the way to addressing Parliament.

UPDATE
I get it! It’s not an iPod. It’s an OPod. There. That makes it all right, doesn’t it?

An iPod for the Queen

Since it’s been a busy day I hadn’t checked the news, so I first heard of this during Ed’s podcast and thought it was an April Fools’ joke:
Barack Obama’s gift for the Queen: an iPod, your Majesty

Yes, really. An iPod.

Sometimes Scott is almost prophetic.

Worse yet: she already has one

It is believed the Queen already has an iPod, a 6GB silver Mini version she is said to have bought in 2005 at the suggestion of Prince Andrew.

Confirmed: The Obamas are Tacky, Tasteless, and Cheap.

While I expect the iPod will go on the garage sale next to Gordon Brown’s DVDs, Jonah Goldberg, however, had some O’fun.

On a related note:
Some bloggers feel that Michelle Obama should curtsy to the Queen. That is entirely up to Michelle Obama. However, it is standard protocol that Americans do not have to curtsy to any monarch.
