In Soviet New York, iPod bans you!
So a state senator in New York wants to ban using iPods while crossing city streets.

USA Today blogs about it. The comments section is a cesspool of wank, mostly of the righteous indignation kind. Watch how liberals are blamed for all society's ills! Marvel at how Darwin is misused over and over again! Gasp as accusations of communism are thrown around carelessly!

The stupid, it had to be shared.

ETA: BE MORE FUNNY, PEOPLE.

Way to completely miss my point. That being that it's kind of pointless to ban crossing the street while listening to music because folks would still get hit anyway. I doubt it would do anything significant to cut down on fatalities. Pedestrians not being distracted wouldn't do anything to drivers who are being reckless or not paying attention. One of my best friends was struck by a car a few weeks ago, and guess what? Not listening to music, she obeyed all signs and traffic laws AND STILL GOT HIT ANYWAY.

What the hell does walking on freeways have to do with crossing the street while listening to music, anyway?
