Young Child Learns Valuable Lesson

A third grade girl is in hysterics, her family STUNNED, STUNNED I tells ya, and the tears of a billion homeless people are flooding the streets of Portugal...wait, that's not right, that's not even close. Let me start again...

A nine year old girl has been sent a Cease and Desist order after she wrote Steve Jobs, telling him how to improve the IPod:

In her letter, Shea outlined her ideas for improving iPods like adding song lyrics.

“Have the words on the screen so they could sing along and stuff,” said Shea.

So she mailed it, and waited for three months, and when a letter arrived from apple, the whole family gathered around to read it.

“She was very upset. She kind of threw the letter up in the air and ran into her room and slammed the door,” said Shea’s mom.

The letter was not from Steve Jobs, it was signed the senior counsel, Apple Law Department.

That's right, apple's legal department, telling a nine year old that apple does not accept unsolicited ideas. Apple's legal department told her not send them her suggestions, and if she wants to know why, she could read their legal policy on the Internet.

The parents were also very upset:

“We were stunned, we just were stunned, is the best word to say. It just wasn't the appropriate type letter to send to a third grader who had the initiative to write to them,” said Shea’s mom.

IS THERE NO GOD?!!!

I suppose none of this would have happened if little Miss Suzy Smarty-pants and her parents, Mr and Mrs *We don't read* had just gone to Apples website and viewed the legal policy on unsolicited ideas. Instead, Mr and Mrs *Our daughter is so smart and can re-invent the most popular piece of electronics since the PC*, let little Miss Smarty-pants know-it-all waste her time sending unsolicited ideas to a company that doesn't accept unsolicited ideas and states it firmly on their multi-trillion dollar website.

Good parenting. Maybe they need to use their *listening ears* and *watching eyes* instead of opening up their *talkie talkie hole* next time. Little Miss Smarty-pants is going to hate both of these vermin for setting her up for failure. Trust me, she's going to kill both of them one day....and even though I don't condone violence, this time I'm making an exception.

Stop trying to re-invent the wheel
