Gimme Back My iPod!

Postal workers in the UK are going postal, not over lost jobs or diminished wages, but rather over the confiscation of their newly given communal iPod.
The iPod was given to the workers to “brighten up their day.” The workers were all allowed to download some of their favorite
songs for play on the iPod and all was going well with everyone happy until someone decided to download an “offensive” joke version of Britney Spears’ song “Oops!…I Did it Again.”
After bosses heard the song they pulled the iPod. A Royal Mail spokesman said: “A disciplinary issue is being investigated at this delivery office and we cannot comment. Royal Mail has an absolute policy of respect for all, and total opposition to any form of harassment.”
Royal Mail workers however our furious and are fighting to get their beloved iPod back. One postal worker said, “We’re up in arms about the destruction of our beloved communal iPod.”
Royal mail bosses are looking into the behavior of some of the staff with workers facing disciplinary action.
Moral of the story: Beware the temptations of the iPod, your song is not everyone’s song, and some candles should be kept under a bushel.
Speak Your Peace
