Shame about that lady, but ppl should be more careful and more aware of their surrounding when listening to ANY portable device..music or video…

7-Eleven in Japan? iPods probably won’t be stolen.

so let me guess .. . the iPod permanantly damaged her hearing causing her to not look both ways before crossing, or to hear the 10 ton bus honking its 140db horn at her?

People are so stupid.

i should clarify…the ipod packaging on the displays at 7-11 are just cardboard “dummies”. You take them up to the cash to redeem them for the actual item (after you pay first of course).
In many cases (such has the higher ticket ipod items)- you pay first, and that is when your ipod order gets processed. You return to the same 7-11 in 3 days to pick up your new ipod.

Wow, that’d be awesome if you could buy iPods at convenience stores in the U.S.

I dunno, I’d feel weird paying more than $10 for anything at a 7-11…

As far as the Australian woman, well, I feel sorry for her family and friends, but she’s definitely a candidate for a Darwin award in my book.

yep, the ipod forced her to listen to it at a level that made her not able to hear anything. Yep, that is it. I love how nobody can take blame for anything anymore, it has to be forced on something else that cannot think and cannot influence a supposed “thinking” human being. What is worse, an ipod without a brain, or the brainless human using it? McDonald’s burned my crotch, not the fact that I am too stupid to put it inbetween my legs while I drive. I got hit by a train because I was listening to an iPod instead of stopping at the gate and walking around it and then both ways at a train crossing. I am going to sue Mercedes because it made my SL500 too fast and I drove into an overpass at 130 mph while trying to dangle my manhood over the guy driving too slow in the left lane in that lame camary. I am suing the tobacco industry because they didn’t tell me smoking is going to kill me even though I cough up a lung every day and feel like s*** 24-7 for the past 50 years, and thinking the reports that said differently by experts were a load of crap.

This planet is getting dumber and dumber by the minute. I fear the future.

/steps off soapbox.
