Contrary to what some people believe, iPods are apparently still cool. Cool enough to kill someone for.

Rose and three friends were accosted by a group of young men Saturday evening in Brooklyn, police said. Members of the group demanded Rose's iPod and stabbed him twice in the chest when he resisted. The group fled, taking Rose's iPod and a backpack, police said.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Woah.

Those muggers are going to be disappointed if Rose has shitty music taste; I'd hate to get a life sentence for stealing Burtny Spears or Shania Twain.

iPods will always be cool.

so cool, infact, that while you're there talking about how uncool it is to have one, i'm listening to the Lynrd Skynrd / Nelly mashup over and over again.

That's stupid, Ipods are like, @$300 right?
The going price for kiling a man is closer to $3000 for the inexperienced.

Seriously though, those guys should get raped in prison . . . while listenign to their favorite tunes are their shiny new Ipod.

I want an iPod. But I don't want to have to kill anyone for it.

Maybe I can rape someone for a Creative Zen player. confused

Get replacement earbuds. Cheap insurance and they'll sound better anyway.

When people rob taxi drivers and convenience stores, they usually get less than $50 and a couple cartons of cigarettes.

An Ipod costs between $100 and $400, several times what they get from the other two.

This makes sense to me. If I wanted an Ipod and couldn't afford it, I'd have to rob 3 convenience stores and 2 taxi drivers to get a good one... or just one kid with a backpack.

In my opinion iPods are crap. I like Dell's DJ..... I have one now, but I might stab some one for a Dell DJ if I didn't have one.

In all seriousness though, I read a few months ago that crime on the NYC subway rose by something like 70 percent and it was all attributed to theft of iPods.
