The funny thing is, an iPod almost killed a girl in our town. She was crossing the street with the iPod blaring, and got hit by a car.MMMATT said:Was reading the paper this morning and found this story in an article:

For all the naysayers out there who think teens spend too much time listening to their Ipods![]()
Why did you necro a 5 month old thread to add virtually nothing to the conversation?miracleofsound said:That boyfriend is gonna get laid an awful lot in the near future.
Because it was linked from a recent thread where I saw someone had been banned for a comment on this one. I was a curious to see what the bannable offense was.chronobreak said:Why did you necro a 5 month old thread to add virtually nothing to the conversation?miracleofsound said:That boyfriend is gonna get laid an awful lot in the near future.
Whoa, dude! Didn't mean to flip you out! I was just wondering why you commented on it, especially if you were just looking something up. You don't have to get defensive, I mean the dates are in the upper left corners of every post. Also, I don't see any horses around here.miracleofsound said:Because it was linked from a recent thread where I saw someone had been banned for a comment on this one.

I had no idea it was an old thread but thank you for your wonderful and pedantic policing of my terrible forum abuse, I hope it made you feel some form of authorative self satisfaction.
How's the view up there from your high horse?
You broke it and tried to get a new one? WTF is wrong with you. Seriously. What goes through people's heads when they know it's their fault their shit isn't working- and they try to scam a store or manufacturer for a replacement?Leorex said:do you think that voids her warenty?
because they wouldnt give me a new one for dropping it. id be pissed if they give her a new one for being a compleate dumb ass.
I'm sorry too... I just came off a two hour session of MW2, so my rage levels were abnormally high.chronobreak said:Whoa, dude! Didn't mean to flip you out!

Sorry I offended you, try not to take it too seriously.

I thought it got locked after that one comment by Darth Mobiuseasy evil said:Why is this old thread up after all this time?
I'm too lazy to read on through the thread to see if you've been corrected but to think that a tiny bit of rubber is goin to save your ass... from lightening... you sir deserve a darwin award after you try it.orannis62 said:No, I can see how the Ipod (or, more likely, the rubber ear buds) saved her. Much the same as how a car is safe because of the rubber tires, even though most of the rest is metal.RebelRising said:Maybe I misread it, but wasn't it the Ipod that almost kill her, her only lucky break being that it wasn't hooked up to her ears? And I have to agree with Orannis; hiding under a tree was stupid.
