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.

I agree with the whole "break the law you pay" thing. But I'm not so sure about the cell phone deal. I haven't lived in CA for almost a year, having moved to TX. But over Christmas break I went home and the issue came up with my parents. Both of their jobs require them to have a cell phone on hand when driving (not Mom so much these days but my Dad still does).

So the issue came up and my parents are pretty damn great at being law abiding citizens. According to them however, they could/can still use their cell's while driving just so long as it's a hands free situation.

As I said though, I haven't lived in CA for nearly a year. I haven't read the law to which this issue applies and am instead going by what good ol' Ma and Pa have imparted. It just seems to me that for such a tech savvy state that CA would become rather limiting over a cell phone.

	Well, law against cellphones in cars doesn't take affect until next year, so holding the phone is still okay. (Reply to this)(Parent)
