What is it with CBC Radio and all this iPod product placement? "National Playlist" talks not about mp3 players but about iPods specifically. Just now on "Go", when they wanted to sample someone's workout playlist, Brent asked who in the audience had an iPod. I keep hearing it mentioned on other shows as well. Are they being paid by Apple or something?

Could just be that "iPod" has entered the cultural consciousness to such an extent that "mp3 player" will draw a blank look from the audience?

Hmm. I don't know. I still don't like it though. (Oh, and the BBC's "Poetry Pod" graphics piss me off too.)
