Five thousand unsold gold-plated Frank Lampard iPods are to be "melted down" and rebranded with children's cartoon character Hello Kitty.
England and Chelsea star Lampard teamed-up with Goldgenie to launch the 64GB gold-plated iPod at Harrods before the World Cup but they have flopped following the dismal performance of Fabio Capello's side in South Africa.
The 24-carat iPod Touch cost up to £599 and featured Lampard's laser-etched signature on the back. But Goldgenie, backed by BBC Dragon's Den judge James Caan, now plan to recover the gold and replace them with the Hello Kitty character.
A Goldgenie spokesman said: "We may have over-ordered due to World Cup hopes."
Lampard donated all his royalties on the sale of the iPods to the Teenage Cancer Trust.
A source told The Sun: "They're melting down all the Frank Lampard iPods.
"It's not exactly melting down - it's a chemical process. But basically Goldgenie are recovering all the gold so they can use it again.
"They thought loads of people would want them during the World Cup but the backlash against England was so bad that they've had to scrap the whole thing."
Seriously, they made Frank Lampard gold plated iPods that cost more than a brand new PS3 at launch. WTF.

Dunno, some bootleg action figures, I guess.

I thought it was a dvd.
It can be anything, from a movie or TV show, to a game, a piece of architecture, a terrible pair of shorts, whatever.
My first nomination is Pinocchio in Outer Space.
Joined by Nurtle the Twurtle, Pinocchio is cast into outerspace in order to save the world from the destruction caused by a flying whale.
Pinocchio in Outer Space was a Belgian-American animated film which sets Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio character on a rocketship adventure. Peter Lazer does the voice of Pinocchio. The film was produced by Ray Goossens at Belvision Studios, with American involvement from Norm Prescott (Filmation) and Fred Ladd.
The French version was titled Pinocchio dans l'espace and the Dutch version was known as Pinocchio in de ruimte.
The film was released in North America by Universal Pictures. It was Universal's second animated film that it distributed(the first was The Snow Queen) and its last one until 1986's An American Tail, which is the first one it produced.
The talking cricket character was not present in this production. Instead, Pinocchio's sidekick was Nurtle, an alien turtle, voiced by Arnold Stang. Together they do battle against Astro, a marauding intergalactic whale.
Hey, things could be worse, I could have nominated Batman meets Scooby Doo.
