Here’s an example of what happens if you look a gift horse in the mouth:
Knockoff iPod shuffle giveaway ruffles some feathers (Arstechnica.com, May 23, 2009)
If you were one of the lucky individuals attending the Swiss Economic Forum last week, you might have been one of 1,200 attendees who received an MP3 player that closely resembled a last-generation iPod shuffle. According to Cult of Mac, the Switzerland-based insurance company Mobiliar gave out the digital audio players that were pretty much dead ringers for the only attractive iPod shuffle Apple has ever made.
Most of the folks receiving the free player were probably pretty happy—after all, conference swag has taken such a sharp downturn in the last five years. But there was at least one attendee who was not amused by the iPod knockoff gift: head of Apple Switzerland Arian Schmucki. Apparently, he never learned not to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Some guests even rubbed salt in the wound by asking him if the device would sync with Apple's digital music management software, iTunes. Schmucki was reportedly so upset that he threatened legal action against the insurance company.
There is no word yet as to what will happen to the promotional iPod knockoffs, but we can only hope that it’s as humorous as that time Electronic Arts asked for all those promotional pairs of brass knuckles back.
