Taco Fish says:What a jerk. Those portable speakers sound like crap. I bet he hoists them on his shoulder when he’s walking, eh?

addROC says:I bet that sounds better then the people I see using their crappy boost mobiles(or nextel) as speakers. I’n not surprised that company failed due to a whole %50 of their customers not paying their bills

sid says:U’re kidding me. I thought the whole point of owning an iPod was not to be subjected to other people’s idea of good music. If this is the case then why subject other people to your idea of good music?

Josh says:I was on the L the other day and some girl had some crap blaring out of her cell phone, holding it up so her friend could hear it who was sitting on the other side of the car. It’s gotten to the point where I’m glaring at them, waiting for them to make eye contact, and then saying, “how hard do you think it’d be to pass that through your bowels?”. Most of the time, they turn it off.
