Somewhere, a really annoyed guy is trying to skim an iPod across a lake

We're very taken with the story of the family who bought their daughter an iPod, only to discover the box was full of rocks. They returned the thing to Target, only to get a store credit and have to drive twenty miles to the next branch of Target which still had iPods in stock.

Guess what?

That was full of rocks too.

And, apparently, Target wouldn't give a refund even then. (Presumably having blown such large sums fighting a losing battle to own the roundel trademark has left the company short of the readies.)

Now, this sounds like an urban myth to us, but the Star Telegram swears its true; they reckon there's something going on at the warehouse which supplies Target in Texas.

We'd love Family Dollar to launch a campaign with a slogan "When it says rocks on our box, you'll find rocks in our box."
