just put a lead pipe to our knees, why don't you?

a new york state senator wants to introduce legislation to ban use of mp3 players and cell phones while walking.

okay, i have a game for you. walk down the street in manhattan and COUNT how many people who are neither on the phone nor listening to their ipods.

how about a BIG FAT ZERO.

furthermore, since everyone walks in manhattan, this means use of cell phones and ipods would cease in manhattan.

yeah, this is going to go over well. how about this? just remember what your mom told you in kindergarten - look both ways before crossing the street. if you don't, and you have an unfortunate meeting with the grill of an SUV, blame your own dumb ass. don't blame your stupid ipod.
