You've basically bricked your iPod... I have an iPod Touch 2G 8GB too, but I managed to evade using the wrong-jailbreak technique, as I'm currently running about 5 different jailbreaks (not advisable!).
I suggest you try taking it back to Apple and don't actually hand it over; just say that you let it drain down and it won't turn on, charge, etc. If they say "yes, we'll need it for further inspection", just say "but I need it within a day, can you advise on something I can do?".
The only thing I can think of doing which MAY help; is by downloading iReb 2.0 from the official Dev Team website and seeing if that will work.
iReb 2.0 is basically a software that if you connect your iPod to your PC (doesn't matter if it doesn't show or whatever), iReb will FORCE it into DFU mode enabling you to put ANY firmware/custom firmware onto it.
If that doesn't work, just either take it back to Apple and hope for the best (as jailbreaking is actually legal), or just sell it on eBay or something.
PS - there's one other solution... If you take your iPod apart then get another iPod and switch some components round (the battery, etc), then that might help, but the most advised one is to use iReb 2.0.
