    A. be a bit more generous

    Oh, come on Apple, be a bit more generous: give the guy a 20inch iMac and a 60GB iPod, it is just a few hunderd euro's more ... Don't forget: with the 10.000 song gift card the 30GB iPod is simply too small to contain all songs. (He won't be able to complain, being on the happy receiving side, so it is up to us to push a little).

    re: a bit more generous

    Are you insane. We are talking about a European. The guy's lucky Apple even recognizes the continent even exists (well, they kind of recognize it).

    culture

    It just shows how culture in this country has slipped.

    Someone here these days in the US would likely have won after buying "Die MF" by Killer and His Murderers

    Or even worse then that, the "Pull My Finger! The f*** CD". Now that would've been hillarious. "The 100 millionth song purchased was 'Prelude to a c***'."

    Oh, wait, that's the same thing, isn't it.
