Phillip Torrone of Make magazine and Adafruit Laser Services, a laser-etching etching service for iPods and MacBooks, has kindly offered to etch OxyContin pills for free onto any Rush Limbaugh iPod. If you recall, Limbaugh is offering eight free iPods engraved with his signature as an incentive for his email newsletter (see here).
Phil writes: “If any of your readers wins one, I’ll etch pills all over it for free with my laser. We can then auction it off and give the $ to a group Rush hates.”
Send mail to Pete or I at the email addresses listed at right. Also include suggestions for a suitable charitable organization.

Again — personally, I can’t stand Rush Limbaugh. But your childish bashing is pathetic; particularly for the taunting about a substance problem that affects many people, including a good friend of mine who shares a distaste for Limbaugh.
Pathetic. Grow up, and use your tech pulpit for better things.
I check Cult of Mac on a daily basis during the week. This is just silly to post this type of ‘news.’ Set up a politics page if you want, but leave the spews to the public service moochers.
Vote Democrat get a free burka!

Though I agree that the bashing of (so called) politial pundits does not belong on a technology blog, I don’t think the author was taunting the general public that suffers from substance abuse problems. For years Rush Limbaugh lambasted drug users – from the truly addicted to the recreational user – until the truth of his addiction was revealed. The way he unabashedly belittled the same folks that shared his substance addiction was hypocrisy on the highest level. Again, though it doesn’t belong on this blog, I can understand the author’s taunts regarding Mr. Limbaugh and don’t think they were pointed toward others.
