Free iPod with Braces

A sign on Santa Monica Blvd. reads...

FREE IPOD NANO

New patients will receive a free IPOD NANO with acceptance of full orthodontic treatment.

At first I felt jipped. After thinking about it, I realized that's pretty freakin' creepy! So, for some people, having decent teeth isn't enough of an incentive to pay the money? The question is, are there really people out there with braces just because they wanted a free ipod?

To clear my name, I owned my iPod shuffle before the wires were installed. While the iPod is a fantastic little gadget, I think Steve Jobs would agree, it's definitely not a deciding factor in going wired at 25. Now, should the docs throw in the BMW convertible...that's a totally different story.
