iPod Used In Domestic Homicide

Holy crap! This is unreal! I like iPod publicity as much as the next guy, but this is pretty bad.

Have a look at some of the other news links on the left... what is the world coming to?

Poor iPod. I hope it still works. When the police are done questioning the iPod, send it to me fore some TLC.

It certainly wouldn't be instantaneous if you're trying to stab someone to death with a blunt object

At least they're being responsible and not plugging the 40GB iPod... the extra weight makes them much more suitable for bludgeoning people to death with.

...evidence suggested the murder was the result of a domestic dispute after Pulaski erased the contents of Mathers iPod.

Um...couldn't she have just plugged it back into the computer and reloaded everything? Maybe he'd erased all that, too. Methinks there was more going on in this relationship than just some erased songs. I'd HOPE that, at least.

I bet the thing still plays, though. \

"It took him a while to die."

That story made my day.

Swear to god...I clicked on the "US" link button and this 404 page loaded saying...

"This page cannot get laid.

The page you are looking for cannot get laid and so it's currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing gas, genital warts or may need to put on sexy lingerie and adjust its browser settings."

Hilarious. So this site is bullshit right? CNN could sue them for web design infringment (or sumthin' like that...)

I just pictured Ellen Feiss saying "It took him a while to die" in her "It was a really good paper" voice.
Bingo- New iPod commercial.
