You all may remember when Obama gave PM Gordon Brown a DVD boxset that included 2001, Star Wars, ET, and Psycho. In exchange, Obama was given an ornamental pen holder made from the timbers of the Victorian anti-slave ship HMS Gannet (oak from the Gannet's sister ship, HMS Resolute, was carved to make the desk that has sat in the Oval Office since 1880).

Well today, Obama upped the ante by giving Her Majesty The Queen a bitchin' iPod.

he's keeping it real

This is all part of the plan to get world leaders to talk to the United States. I bet Ahmadinejad wants an iPhone
