First things first, I have a PC not a Mac, if that info helps.
I plugged my 80g iPod into my computer last night and it said that my iPod was corrupted and I should restore it to the factory setting. I did so, but it still says the same thing... only now my iPod is empty of all my music, TV shows, and movies and podcasts. I would love to reload it but I can't, because as I said it still tells me my iPod is corrupted and I should "restore it to its factory setting" or somesuch thing.
Can anybody help me?

If you're iPod is within warranty do this: Go here: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/Make an appointment at the KOP Apple store. They will give you a new iPod. Restore the iPod with your iTunes library. |

I think going to tech support locations with backup makes sense. Support staff like to be arrogant pricks and you want someone at your back if a fight breaks out near the LCD's

I went because I advised Seth on the MacBook purchase and I felt bad about a drive failure so soon after getting it. Funny story, my laptop drive just died recently.  |

Don't plug it in any more. The drive is bad. Windows will freak out when it tries to read from it.

Forgive my technical ignorance; I just don't know much about computers. So it IS the iPod and not the computer? |

With 95% certainity yes.
There is a small small chance the driver software's the problem, but shit like that just really doesn't happen anymore.

So I've gotten a replacement from the Apple store, but fuck if the little scrolling wheel doesn't sense as well as my last one. It sticks sometimes. Do you think I should get ANOTHER replacement? Or should I just let this go?

It's really up to you and if you think it's an actual defect. If you think it's fine than it isn't worth the trip.
