iPod Causes 17 Accidents a Day in the UK

Apple’s iPod has been singled out as the reason for more than 17 accidents per day in the UK. The situation has been dubbed “iPod Oblivion”: people so “into” what’s playing on their iPod that they ignore the world around them, necessarily leading to accidents.

…Ipods, cell phones, radios, air conditioners, the person sitting next to you, the dog in the back seat, the neon sign you are driving by. There are tons of distractions out there, it comes down to how much time you give them. Anyone who is too busy playing with their ipod deserves a low speed accident. Not only is it not safe, but its just plain stupid. Some people have no concept of when to say when. 1-2 soconds (not that I’m condoning it) is not reckless and stupid. Anything more than that though and you are just begging for it. Dont blame the machines, blame the people who cant prioritize their attention when needed….

Apology after girl’s lemonade stand shut down

A county official in Oregon has apologized after a 7-year-old’s business venture was soured because health inspectors shut down her lemonade stand.

…PORTLAND, Ore. A county official in Oregon has apologized after a 7-year-old’s business venture was soured because health inspectors shut down her lemonade stand.
Multnomah County Chairman Jeff Cogen, the county’s top elected official, said Thursday that running a lemonade stand is a “classic iconic American kid thing to do.”
He says he called Julie Murphy’s mother, Maria Fife, to offer his apology and says she appreciated it.
Fife helped her daughter set up a lemonade stand last week at a local arts fair in northeast Portland. They had to pack up and leave after being approached by two inspectors who said the stand lacked a license.
Cogen says while the inspectors were doing their job, the rules are meant for professional food service operators. He adds he ran lemonade stands as a child….

Better Film Decade: 1980s or 2000s?

Axel, E.T. and Indy (no, not the one who hides from nuclear blasts in refrigerators) vs. Aragorn, Gaylord and Jake Sulley.

…Ledger edges Nicholson (not in cool though) Keaton and Bale are a wash to me, and TDK has the far superior script. That was tough to say. I beat a kid up on the bus over the Batman VHS back in 90, and I owned it for 25 hours before his brother got to me the next day and body slammed me Ultimate Warrior style in front of the entire 5th grade. I gave the tape back.That was my dedication. I gave and took ass whippings for Burton’s Batman….

This naturally got the attention of our boner, as most things eventually do, and launched us on a Quixotic quest to discover which videogame fitness coach will best service your insatiable autoerotic needs. But buying fitness games can be embarrassing, so rehearse this simple script before entering the store.

You: Do you have Your Shape featuring Jenny McCarthy?

Clerk: Um, I think so. Let me check.

You: Thanks. It’s a gift. Do you think my sister will like it?

Clerk: I don’t know, is your sister hot?

You: I dunno. Probably.

Clerk: Cool (snort). Yeah, we have it. It’s right over there.

If you stay cool and stick to your story, the transaction should go down smoothly. Every game on this list is rated E and probably available used, so you should have no trouble acquiring any of them what suit your fancy….

Flashing teenage breasts could land man in prison

A Florida man is facing five years in prison because he photographed two teenage girls flashing their breasts on the side of the road. Turns out, the girls were 15-years-old.

…The Good

“Carlos Miller and his blog Photography Is Not A Crime has to be the best blog I have come across to date that documents the ongoing battle that photographers and videographers are facing in increasing numbers.”
Hodson Report

“Anyone who promises to ‘mock, madden and maybe even muckrake’ has my attention - especially when he’s fighting for my right to plant my sticks wherever the Constitution says I can.”

Lenslinger

“With a seemingly increasing number of stories of police harassing and arresting photographers making headlines, one man has made it his job to watch the police.” B-roll

“This is not a partisan issue. It’s a police abuse-of-power issue, and ’security’ is no excuse for this sort of totally unacceptable and unconstitutional behavior by officers of the law. Carlos Miller is a great source of information about these unfolding stories.”

Brendan Loy

Carlos Miller runs “one of Miami’s best blogs.” Miami New Times

“If you read enough of his site, you start to understand that Miller has…
