Okay, we’re stretching it a bit with the headline, but we couldn’t resist: Apple has just sent a shut down notice to an online retailer called iPopMyBaby that sells nothing but onesies and diapers featuring Apple’s products: namely, the iPod clickwheel and iPhone homescreen.
iPopMyBaby has been around for years, and while we’re not sure we like the idea of clothing that encourages strangers to touch your baby, their outfits were pretty cute novelty gifts for the expecting Apple fan.
According to the website, Apple “respectfully requested” (re: got their lawyers involved) that iPopMyBaby stop selling their iPod-themed baby clothes, stat. As such, they’ll be shutting down on December 11th, and until then, all of their clothes are 40% off. So if you want to give your baby a clickwheel, now is the time: at least it will let give it a volume control.

Can you lot p!$$ off with the misleading headlines please?
huh? They’re not dressed like them. They’re wearing clothes that have images on them….
No the title isn’t a stretch, you just made it up to get clicks. Just write a proper headline.
I’m assuming the title was changed because I really don’t see anything wrong with it. I’m used to Brownlee writing some stupid shit, but this is one occasion where I don’t see it.
But aside from that, I have some doubts about the story. If they were asked to stop selling immediately, and they’ve apparently agreed to, why are they selling the stuff at a discount for another month? It sounds to me like the Apple-themed onsies weren’t selling well and they concocted this story to clear out their inventory.
