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.

Ummm...you do realize that pedestrians are not allowed on freeways or turnpikes or parkways is because those roadways are not meant to be stopped on(except in the event of a lot of traffic or accident). Pedestrians would cause people to stop, which goes against the specific purpose of those roads.

City streets though, especially in NYC have a speed limit of about 25 MPH and have stop lights...there's no reason that you shouldn't be able to listen to a device while legally crossing the street...otherwise, let's ban talking to the person next to you while walking. I saw someone walk into a hot dog cart while talking to the person next to him.
