Wow, I really cannot believe that they are considering this.

lol thats crazy, but just look at that person that fell in that fountain thing.

I bet the police will be very pleased if they have to enforce that.

What are they going to do next stop people from wearing brightly coloured tops? :rolleyes:

No force them to wear them so drivers can see them easier!

Saw that earlier. What a plonker.

Why don't they just put a ban on not using common sense which would then cover about 90% of American laws.

That's cool, I don't have an iPod anyway...

If you're too stupid to safely use an ipod and walk down the street at the same time then you're too stupid to live.

There are plenty of examples walking down Oxford Street.

Well you did buy an iPod in the first place...

And the World will be much the poorer without them I'm certain, I know I'll regret the extra space on the Tube without them...

I suppose it would make a small measure of sense if mobile phones are banned in cars for mp3 players to suffer similar restrictions but it seems to be pretty small beer.

That was meant in the same way you used "you're", not aimed specifically at you.

Never happen.

And on the off chance it does, it will be utterly impossible to enforce it.

SeraphX · 25 Jan 2011 at 19:34

good luck enforcing it, god what **** is sat on their collective fat asses coming up with this trash

If we don't let these morons get into accidents, thereby thinning their numbers, we're going to have to start actively culling them.
