French radio Nostalgie is giving away 100 limited edition, numbered Michael jackson “Visionary” 30GB Apple iPods.
Each iPod is inscribed with a likeness of a somewhat recent profile of Jackson’s face (these change often over time, so your iPod will be even more unique someday) and the words “Visionary, Michael Jackson, The Video Singles, Limited Edition No.—“
It’s been so long since we slept through years of French class that we’re not sure if the things actually come filled with Jackson’s video singles or not. (Most of the text is embedded in graphics and, no, we’re not about to transcribe it into a translator for this story.) Either way, if you win one, do not dangle it one-handed over balcony railings. You might drop it.
French to English translators, please give us a hand using reader feedback below. Thanks in advance.
More info (in French) here.
Have fun, everybody!

..and the click-wheel falls off just like his nose.
What colors are they offering it in? Or does it fade over time?
if you go to the website you can watch the TV commercial for it- it’s in French and clearly not produced by Apple.
click on the link “spot” on the main page.
Vous peuplez n’êtes aucun amusement! Rappelez-vous, nous peut l’aimer mais vous l’avez tout créé!
blucaso, it’s just too damn easy. For instance:
What is Michael Jackson’s ideal perfect 10?
Two five year olds.
See? Yeh-heh-hehesssss. Even I have my standards.
Apprenez à écrire le français correctement.
only in america, through hard work and a little surgery, can a poor black kid grow up to be a skinny white woman
MDN word is results.. as in the results of his surgeries are really really bad
It’s a black iPod that was chanced to white.

Now we know why Apple’s iPod sales have been off lately.
You have to be French to participate… ha, ha, ha…
Nobody has surpassed MJ either in music influence or sellings. For all ignorant people bashing MJ about the charges they should know why he was acquited if they just followed the news But most if yoy just keep reading the tabloid headlines and watch trash TV. I wonder what explanations you have about his full acquital from the whole jury when 75% of people thought he was guilty. Instead of using the internet to learn and spread sick jokes about him why don’t you use it to learn about his known skin condition and facts about his recent case if you want to have an opinion ? You may not be fans so you do not care about the truth and just lynch him in order to have a distasteful laugh. But ask yourself how pathetic is that? This is the same mindset with Windows users who without ever having used a Mac they criticize it and frequently say things quite the opposite from reality.

Wandering Joe said: “Innocent until proven guilty folks. He’s mighty suspicious, but that no reason to lynch the guy.”
If the asshole fits you can’t aquit!
These could be the last 100 iPods distributed in France as Apple pulls out due to the DRM law.
FistofGod . . . that’s not big enough.
CK,
But he still deserves bashing. Hanging out and obviously enamoured by 12 year boys. Plastic surgery until his nose falls off. So he was guilty – his behavior is still reprehensible for a GROWN MAN. If MJ were white, 45, middle class and constantly searching for the company of young boys would be nervous if your son were hanging around him? Having a sleep-over with him?
Please, this MAN needs some serious help.
Now tell me, is that a pathetic response? Does MJ’s music and talent absolve him of his social responsibility? When will MJ start funding all of these charities he’s started?
There may not be enough to convict him, but that doesn’t mean any child in my family goes near him. MJ should have gone cold-turkey on the young boys after his payoff.

Aren’t iPods having legal problems in France……
Oh I get it this is a performance art thing!
Wouldn’t it be scream if somebody gets busted in Paris for illegally using their MJM iPod?
“only in america, through hard work and a little surgery, can a poor black kid grow up to be a skinny white woman”
The best one of the lot! lol
BTW, “innocent until proven guilty” only applies in a court of law. People are free to make reasonable (hopefully) conclusions based on what they see. There is no reasonable way a child would be able to identify an irregularity on MJs privates unless there was something not right going on.
Jackson is a molestor and a sick pervert. He said he was leaving the US never to return. Good, carry you converted white ass out of the US, and take some gutless coward libs with you.
Shutup damn, you guys just spew hate all the time. Yet we dont even understand whats wrong with him. Try living the life he has you would be pretty fucked up too.
Its possible he could be a fiddler, i mean he tells the whole world its okay to sleep with children he himself doesnt see anything wrong with that. He could of been a victim himself as a child. Maybe thats why he thinks his doing no harm to them, because he thinks it didnt do no damage to him but obviously it has.
The guy needs help, his a tortured soul and hates himself so much that he keeps destroying himself by all the surgeries.
how pathetic you people are, you guy literally invented the music industry as it is today. he still sells more than most artists can dream of i checked on a sony site his last studio album sold 10 million copies worldwide his last greatest hits 8 million and although i cant say im a fan he was found not guilty of 14 counts and the original kid in 93 refused to testify against him and from i remember there are taped recordings of his father saying mj should have invested in my movie now im goner bring him down.
Forums like this prove to me how cool it is to hate Michael Jackson the world is a cinical place and i think the worsed thing in the world! is most of your children will grow up hateful like the rest of you on here.
i would love to see one of you taken to court for child abuse found innoecent and deal with the fact people still call you a child abuser and see how you deal with your kids having to hear that day in day out for the rest of your life!
Is it anyone wonder Michael Jackson has left America your all Asholes!
one thing i thought was interested in case som1 jumps on the Michael broke situation i did alittle investigation on GOOGLE
he owns 50% of a multi billion dollar catalogue that generates a 500 million dollar revenue per year

his own music generates 100 million yearly worldwide.

So who’s the bigger geek? You for posting that, or me for understanding

It’s stupid all you guys going on about child porn.
There was NEVER and child porn found anywhere.
There was porn found but it was of ADULT WOMEN!!!
A £3,000,000 trial using all the counties resources was carried out and they could not find any evidence to convict. Don’t you guys think they would have found something?
The DA opened an international phone line asking for victims to come forward. None did.
The DA tried to get other so-called victims (Macauley Culkin, Wade Robson) to testify that they were abused. They went into court on the defences side.
Chris Tucker defended Michael Jackson saying that he knew the family were up to no good and warned him off, but he took no notice.
The DA tried to get Debbie Rowe to say bad things. She backed up the defense.
The only witnesses they had were disgruntled ex-employees who said they saw things through windows that didn’t exist at the time. Michael Jackson wasn’t even at Neverland when some of the events were supposed to have taken place, therefore he could NOT have molested the kid.
The family has previously committed welfare fraud (which the mother is now facing trial for thanks to evidence from the MJ trial).
The mother previously conned the local police department out of thousands of pounds.
The mother had contacted several lawyers about suing Michael Jackson BEFORE she even met him.
The mother was supposedly held hostage but went for free facials, bikini waxes and massive shopping sprees for hours at a time WITHOUT any MJ staff around and could easily have contacted the police but didn’t.
With all this information, how can any of you seriously believe MJ is guilty. All this information can be backed up and can be found in the real court documents released to the public. This is real information, not the rubbish printed in any tabloid ‘newspaper’.
Read them and weep as your stupid misconceptions fall apart around your ears.
Losers.
Being reclusive, having surgery and being ‘different’ does not make anybody guilty of any crime.
