Or How the Titanic Sunk in a Parallel Universe
The great ship was approaching the North east coast of Newfoundland when the i-ceberg got in its way. The problem was that this berg in particular was wearing an i-pod during the briefing on navigational routes for that week, thinking that he would notice anything worth avoiding before it hit him. As the ship struck, he thought to himself that he should maybe take the i-pod off at night, just so he would hear things approaching in the dark.
Of course the sirens sounded, there was general panic among the passengers. Some of the first class passengers, however, seemed calm and secure. Even though the band had long gone from the ballroom, these passengers still heard music (and nothing else): they were enjoying their i-nearist lifestyle which was about to end abruptly.
During the i-nquest, it was found that the foreman of the group responsible for building the hull which was to make this titan of the ocean unsinkable alas could not resist the latest i-cast during the engineer's briefing, thinking he had welded a few hulls in his life and this was nothing new.
Years later when the wreck was found on the bottom of the North Atlantic, an amazing majority of the skeletons were found with the remnants of white earphones around their heads.
I think we have a winner - anachronism aside- you tell an exemplary tale! In any case Omo, you have "set the bar" quite high for subsequent tales. Final results are still pending...

yes it's obvious: people who cannot be bothered to undertake the discipline of silence sticking millenial plastics into their ears to avoid the isolation that their own participation in the 21st century creates for them in the first place, thinking themselves quite spiritually fit due to their emotional response to the work of some musicians they will never meet, believe themselves somehow superior because they spent a lot of money on the latest sign of contemporaneity. but it's not nearly as bad as a decade ago, when the thing to do was blast music out of a boom box. at least the i-podders are not filled with misssionary zeal, in their choice of tunes at least.
What is the sound of one I-podding?
iPod, therefore iGod

"The iPod and How He Learns To Love It."
One morning in a dense city, of all the transposed thrones of morning coffee and already social nuances of an average city.... slicker... or something... Tony The Tiger himself decides, "Hey, I'm going to expose my true self to the world!" So that he does, he walks out of his cat box there in New York city or some shit of fame and glory through the pearly gates of Kelloggs Frosted Flakes and there before Tony appears this reowned world. More inner monoluge-- "The world, it's changed so much! What are these ridiculous white boxes everyone are carrying? Must I know?" The hustle and bustle of the noisy yet crowded streets wears on our poor adventurer Tony as he begans to pull back into an alley and trips over a flux capacitor.
All would have been right in Tony's world at that point, everything he had taken in at that point would have been ok, he could even accept the fact that a moment earlier Spider Man came down, rolled a splif and exited, yes all things would have been right as a monkey scratching his balls had Tony not tripped and fallen over a flux capacitor. Dr. Brown came running from behind a dumpster zipping his pants up and says "great scott Tony have you seen my half- witted assistant Marty McFly?"
"No I haven't and I dont know who in the fuck that is and more importantly how do you know my name?" Tony questions.
"That's not at all important my boy, but what is important is us getting back to 1988!"
"Listen you retarded slut-scientist wannabe, you need to back the fuck up. You see alot of crazy shit is going on here and the last thing I need is you on my case. Not only that but I just tripped over this peice of shit that..."
"GREAT SCOTT! Do you know what this is?
"Yeah, it is the flux capacitor for the 1986 Delorian H-Class." Tony replies.
"Well yes but..." brown looks puzzled for a moment. "That means that marty must have lost it on his way into the future." brown looks depressed.
"well as sad as that is..." Tony said half-heartedly
"Then I have no other choice. I must destroy this thing before other dear friends are lost due to my creation." Hysterically Brown spins around and smashes the flux capacitor into the nearby dumpster. Just then a purple haze is emitted from the dumpster and a huge band of light radiates from all windows and the alley. Dr. Brown is enveloped in a beutiful array of colors and the sky grows unnaturally dark...The darkness fades and Tony sees the Incredible Hulk scamper off into the street after Spider Man. Right where Dr. Brown once was enveloped stands an albino man dressed in black and purple sackcloth.
"Hello Tony, I am iPod, also known as God. Haha, just kidding... but my name is really iPod, I grew up in an apple factory just north of Georgia where my parents disowned me, I was kicked out of school, and I loved strawberry ice cream. You see, Tony, I'm one man... and I have ruled the world with my insane ability to make things really cool and write witty articles on the internet... causing a lot of people that don't do shit in their lives to stop and say-- 'hey, that's cool... i need to be like that.' so what i'm getting at it.... well... not really anything. you see tony, I just had a surgical procedure that transformed me from a man to a woman... well, it's not going so well so I invented this little device which I named after myself that plays music... and I am selling it for so much more than it is worth. Of course to pay for my surgery...."
Tony the Tiger stands in disbelief, what has the world came too? Then he begans to ponder and gets really really bored writing this stupid story.
