I'm sorry, this product is just ...dumb

I spotted a new IPod accessory called an "IGuy" on Jake Ludington's MediaBlab blog. Now, a lot of foul remarks came to mind when I saw this thing, but the most civil and PG thing I can say is that it's dumb.

Take a look below. I'm just not sure it's healthy to "animate" or bring to life an IPod as a sentient being or worse, make the thing your buddy. It reminds me of the YaYa man from Karen Black (the beautiful Karen Black) movie "Trilogy of Terror". See the likeness in size and shape, as well as the gesture by the IGuy that appears to be for holding a weapon.
