Rachel Cambra, a mom and an employee of that Wal-Mart store, gave her son a Christmas gift which she believed to be a Video iPod she had put on layaway. But when the big moment arrived on Christmas morning and the present was ripped open, there was no iPod to be found. Just a wrapped-up piece of meat. Yes, I said meat. Not sure what kind of meat, but the fact that it was wrapped made it a little more palatable. Wal-Mart promises to replace the iPod as soon as possible and Apple doesn’t seem to have a comment.

Update #2: We have an email from someone who claims to be an insider at the Wal-mart Corp. Office in Hawaii, here is what she says:
As for your iMeat story-looks like Walmart is actually at fault. I’m an investigator for Walmart’s Corp. Office in Honolulu (we handle internal theft, shipment shortages, barcode fraud etc). Truth is, there was 2 more units found to have “wrapped meat” in them and actually suspect an ex-employee of the tampering. The 2 other units were purchased by employees as Christmas gifts too. Ms. Cambra should be getting her replacement within the week. [Gizmodo]
