According to a new lawsuit filed in Beverly Hills, Cali., Apple is getting sued for an alleged conspiracy with the Italian mafia. Gregory McKenna is convinced that both his ebay purchased iPod shuffle and his store-bought iPod mini equipped with a receiver allowing the mafia to send him death threats through his music. He claims the words "I'm going to kill him" sung by members of the mafia played in unison with a song on his iPods.

"The recording of death threats and other evidence, prove that APPLE INC. conspired with the Mafia and other Defendants to manufacture, distribute, and sell illegally bugged iPods and other electronic equipment to Plaintiff to perpetuate the stalking, extortion, and torture."

The 124 page complaint filed last Wednesday gets even stranger. While listening to the song, "Still Tippin" by Mike Jones, McKenna claims the word "herpes" were inserted to "to humiliate, degrade, and cause emotional stress."

"Tippin' on four fours, wrapped in four vogues, HERPES. Tippin' on four fours, wrapped in four vogues. Tippin' on four fours, wrapped in four vogues, AHH."

Thank you Apple. All of us iPod owners are at risk of randomly hearing Sinatra singing, "It's my kind of town, YOU'RE GONNA DIE." I can only imagine that the Apple lawyers are going to take this one lightly. I'd like to see any judge consider his case.
