We thought that guy who was selling 12,000 iPods on eBay seeemed a little suspicious…' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt45oe800 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 THIs is a snip from the article Investigators are seeking the public's help in identifying the suspect who was caught stealing the cargo on a surveillance camera. The value of the stolen MP3s is estimated at just over two-point-five-million-dollars. 2.5 MILLION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 he wouldn't settle for the 'free ipod' offers on the internet. 'ipod muggers' ? I've always suspected that thugs were watching for weaklings with white headphones. Those white headphones are a sure sign that you're worth a good $400 to a mugger.

dubsface Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Kids at my college constantly get mugged for their ipods because they use those horrible, poor quality white earphones. Shit, how stupid cna you be? I remember when I had one originally the white earphones were fine, people always looked at me confused because they had no idea what kind of mp3 player I was using. Now, since Apple has infiltrated and monopolized music as we know it, every motherfucker on the block (and by block, I mean where you purchase freebase) knows what an iPod is. Stupid art students. Might as well wear a shirt sayin "YES, MOMMY AND DADDY ARE RICH AND BOUGHT ME AN IPOD, MUG MY SCRAWNY HEROINE SNIFFING ASS" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnomeToys Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 iPods are the stupidest status symbol / trend I've seen in my life. For the same price, I could get one of these things: http://www.smartdisk.com./eWeb/smartdiskus...FlashtraxXT.asp Which plays various video formats, has a nice big color LCD, will handle camera RAW so it can be used as a digital wallet, and will still play MP3s.
