Ban Proposed On Walking While Talking, Listening To iPod

It's just natural selection at work!

"While people are tuning into their MP3 players and iPods, they are tuning out the world around them." Carl Kruger

OK, here's my answer....well Duh! Of course that's what they are doing captain obvious. It is what music was invented for...to tune the rest of the idiotic world...OUT.

Please tell me this is an early April Fools joke......

Probably not, "I have met the enemy, and he is us."

Ridiculous...and I don't need/want some sort of "legislation" telling me when I can/can't use my electronic device(s).

(where do we get these politicians!!???)

I’m still waiting on the ban of vegetables.

I’m going to sit quietly, listening to my i-pod while tuning out the rest of the world until this happens.

I agree with SS. If someone is too stupid to cross the street without getting hit, perhaps they aren't that beneficial to society. Run 'em down, Troy!

I can be walking with a friend, talking, and tune out everyone and everything else. Are they going to ban this next?? Stupid!!!

Well, according to advocacy groups, it is the governments job to protect us from ourselves since we don't always know what is best for us. My guess this politician had some bleeding heart come in with this story. Next thing you know, they will ban fast food, candi, and nachos since we are not eating healthy enough.

By the way, didn't that person's parents tell them to look both ways before crossing the street?

obviously hypothetical, as you have no friends

obviously hypothetical, as you have no friends

No friends huh?? :p You are just jealous bc you aren't my friend. Right??!!

So I will continue to wait for the arrival of the government issued pod designed to protect me from cars, smoke, trans fat and skinny microphones...

Ha! I laugh because you hold out hope that such a thing exists. You’ll learn someday that it doesn’t. And that day will be very painful.

ummm...who's Candi???

Big Brother is watching.

Unless he's listening to his iPod; in which case, he may not be paying attention...

If the politicians want to go around banning things, why can't they be useful and ban something....like....oh say.....BOB BARKER THREADS!!!!!!!

(sssshhhhh...don't tell Bob I said that)

She's the hot blonde that comes around every once in a while.

laughing...coffee...nose...

I've done this before - now it's going to smell like I've got a freakin' coffee scented airfreshner up my nose for the rest of the day! Thanks Jac!!!

.....she was ALLEGEDLY found with a skinny microphone skicking out of her (insert fav orifice here)......police suspect foul play.......

so many jokes here, yet so little time

The Sony walkman came out around 25 years ago, why is this an issue now?
