iPod jeans: A Chav's dream...?
bleeson1 by Billy Leeson January 11th, 2006

After hearing that Apple are now selling silence, yes, actual silence by gangster-rap group Slum Village for the same 79p as everything else via their iTunes Music Store, it seemed that the world of iTunes and iPods couldn't get anymore ridiculous.

Alas! The iPod-compatible jeans have been announced by Levis Strauss on Tuesday. Containing a 'special joystick' in the pocket and retractable headphones, creating not only a marvel in denim technology but at the same time, a name that will be plaguing playgrounds and underming petty crime for ever more.

"Oi blud, gimme your special joystick."

DiScuss: Will there be an indie backlash with MiniDisc-enabled jeans?
