Listen to me, if you still can ..

I am a pretty big fan of my iPod, as are about 42 million other people in the world. In this article, a man has decided to sue Apple for creating these amazing devices with the capability to play music too loud. I’m sorry, but what?!? I think he has a better chance of suing the Rolling Stones for playing too loud at their concerts, at least that is out of his control. Is it really that hard to have some self-discipline to refrain from cranking up volume to the point that it hurts your ears? I have “speakers so loud they blow women’s clothes off” in my room (yup, Italian Job), but that does not make them a defective product. If you listened to my car stereo at full volume for 30 seconds, you’d be begging me to leave you on the side of the road. If you love music so much that you want to blast it at 115 decibels (and have a migraine for the day), so be it, it is completely up to you. Apple is not damaging your ears, you’re just an idiot.

I am now in the process of filing a lawsuit against Canon, because if I point my digital camera too close to my face, the flash will damage my eyesight and I will eventually go blind.
