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.

You are completely missing the point.

It's fine that drivers aren't allowed to have a phone in their hand or eat when they drive here.

But that's because cars are big and fast enough to kill people. A car driver can't just stop and look around when in doubt. A pedestrian can.

And by the way, if people don't loook before they cross the street, hearing won't help them, either. Their own bloody fault then. Just as it is their fault when they get killed walking on the freeway. Doesn't mean there need to be laws for not listening to the cars.
