Senator Carl Krueger Thinks iPods Can Kill You
Well, file this under, "Get back to work ya bum." Apparantly, Senator Carl Krueger believes that by using a mobile electronic device you're putting yourself in mortal danger. From the article:
Yes, [Senator Krueger] is planning to introduce a law which would make the use of the iPod, the BlackBerry or any other handheld illegal, when crossing the streets of New York. No matter how funny or weird that might sound to you, his intentions are pretty serious. He claims that the number of fatal accidents caused by what he calls “the iPod oblivion” is increasing in New York and as an example he brings the case of a young man who died last month.Seriously, guy, aren't we currently at war? Better things to do, perhaps?
