-ipod racer : why even show up to a public race? If you didn't are you sure anyone would miss you? Just go for a long run/bike on your own on an open stretch I am sure you will get the same effect. I have done a few tri's this year and it is great that they don't allow ipods...
-ipod dad/parent : On holidays and then recently at the Heritage Day/Princess Island event. Why be around your family with your ipod on? Time to tune in...guess the ipod kids need to learn somewhere....even this situation is beyond one ear bud in....any stats out there on ipod related deaths or injuries.....correlations between being plugged in and diminishing social skills?..any good books on this topic? Based on my experiences I am interested....Cool story bro I know....but you could always skip to the end or shuffle  |
I get not driving with headphones on, but the rest of these are absolutely lame. Who really cares when or where someone listens to their iPod? So people like listening to music and running or walking or riding in the car. It's not indicative of anything more than people like music. Walkmans have been around for a long time, this isn't anything new.
