UK Authorities Blame iPods for the Rise in Violence
No really.
"CNET reports that the British Government today attributed the country's 22% rise in street crime to iPod robberies. This has hit CNET close to home. Guy Cocker, a CNET (Gamespot) journalist based in London, was mugged last week. The muggers held 'a semi-automatic weapon to the back of Cocker's head and told him, "we're taking all your stuff"'. CNET's solution to the problem is suggestions on how to conceal your iPod from attackers. These include 'The gaffer tape method,' 'The Coke can method,' and 'The Christopher Walken method.'"

Living in a place like England must be absolute paradise for thugs and robbers of all sorts. A nation of sheep is the perfect breeding ground for a population of wolves, eh? So I would predict that things are not gonna get better (for the sheep any way) any time soon. Personal weapons and individual acts of self-defense are already illegal there so..I wonder what the nanny staters are gonna recommend the government do? My advice would be to emigrate.
