Would you get hit by a vehicle to save your iPod?

[CyberInferno]

A teen ran out in the street and was hit by a truck in an effort to rescue her iPod (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-10248109-71.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20).

I would not. All of my music is on my computer, I sync automatically. I can just get a new one.

[TruthBeTold 13]

exactly.

[denissuxx]

I would not. All of my music is on my computer, I sync automatically. I can just get a new one.

qft

[voncorn]

The second option.

[briewer]

Yes, because I'm borderline homeless. Of course I'm also invincible, so hospital bills won't be a problem.

[TSLROCKS]

I would not. All of my music is on my computer, I sync automatically. I can just get a new one.

Exactly

[uglystar03]

I have all my music on my computer. A new iPod would probably be cheaper than hospital bills.

[timb89]

qft

whats qft?

and also define vehicle?

[11:11]

It would give me a good excuse to get a bigger one.

[march-of-flames]

not an Ipod. but an iphone, that's another story..

[ACA]

I'd do outrageous things for my 700GB collection if it was not backed up.

I've spent the last eight years of my amassing this, it's my life's work.

[jwicklun]

it shocks me that 20 people put down yes. pathetic.

[VIVALAMATT]

music = life

[TruthBeTold 13]

music = life

Getting hit by vehicle = end of life

[Richard Maxim]

Sadly, i might just take my chances and do this seeing as i have bad luck with computers and have gone through many in a course of 2 years.

[fadedmemories]

It depends on how old the iPod is. Right now, I wouldn't.

[AussieBoy]

how badly hurt do u get from the car?? i cop a broken arm or something, even get the sympathy vote from the laaaaadies :gay:

[VIVALAMATT]

Getting hit by vehicle = end of life

So it's a lose/lose situation I guess. :(

However if I live...
Lets just say I'd prefer some broken bones and my ipod than full health and no music to access on the go. lol

[MyNameIsRoss]

Maybe, if you didn't get hurt too bad (but hurt enough to get a decent settlement from the driver).

[CyberInferno]

lol, I think you'll find it difficult to get a judge who sides with someone who ran out in front of a vehicle to save his iPod ;-)

[WhoSaidThat?]

That girl is a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

[MyNameIsRoss]

lol, I think you'll find it difficult to get a judge who sides with someone who ran out in front of a vehicle to save his iPod ;-)

It was sort of a joke. Wouldn't really do that. ;-)

[CyberInferno]

It was sort of a joke. Wouldn't really do that. ;-)
haha I figured. The sad thing is that people have sued and won for doing dumber things than that lol.

[IWasaCamera]

No.

[BigAl]

I would not. All of my music is on my computer, I sync automatically. I can just get a new one.

Haha, this. Big time!

[makeshiftmind]

Free healthcare in Canada ftw

but still I wouldn't

[m_rue]

haha ridiculous.

[spunkmastaflex]

I would not. All of my music is on my computer, I sync automatically. I can just get a new one.

i agree with this... however... if a truck were going up against my computer... but then again, thats why i have 2 externals to back stuff up, so if the truck were going against my externals AND my computer... i prob would just say crap and start over again

[Jennifer3892]

I said yes because I would srsly consider it.

[joeag1985]

I'd just buy a new pod. Most of the music I listen to is in my iTunes thing.

[n1asfan]

I have a nano...so I'm gonna go with no

[IceAge/HeatWave]

I would not. All of my music is on my computer, I sync automatically. I can just get a new one.

this. yeah... this.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

I have a nano...so I'm gonna go with no

maha

[Neo Cassady]

Seeing as I have all the music on my ipod in at least two other formats and all the apps on my computer and nothing substantial elsewhere on it...no.

[Nick Le]

I would not. All of my music is on my computer, I sync automatically. I can just get a new one.

This.

Hahah exactly this.

[Nick Le]

Getting hit by vehicle = end of life

Lol.

[seraph1214]

Fuck no. Vehicles hurt.

[abbysmith]

Hell no. I prefer my life to my iPod.

[jordalsh]

nooo, I have my music synced in mass organization on my computer, now if somehow my itunes was floating about in front of a car, then that would be a different story......

[poppunkgrl23]

i actually cant live without my ipod...lol its like my baby. so my vote is yes....

[MorningStar10]

This is true story, i got mugged for my phone (worth bout 75quid) but handed it over and didnt think about it.
About 3 months later then i got attempted mugging for my ipod, i just straight up said no and chipped it LIKE A MAN.

I risked a beating for my Ipod :-) .

[jgord88]

My whole Ipod is backed up on my computer.

[TotalCollapse]

I would not. All of my music is on my computer, I sync automatically. I can just get a new one.
Agreed.

[Machu505]

Instead of quoting the first reply to this thread (that must be annoying for the post's author), I'm just gonna say I agree with him.

[kdefrisc]

the shit?

[brandnewsheep]

I'd like to think i'm more sensible, but, I probably would freak out and throw myself in front of the iPod.

[bv_princess1]

haha i had....an ipod but it got stolen so i cant't jump infront of a car to get it... but if i did have one i would consider it.

[Zkrp]

I dont think I would but I would very strongly consider it. Its to much money and I love my Itouch

[doppelganger]

i have an external hard drive... so no

[fightinirish217]

It's all on my computer, so no.

[Cliff Diver]

id rather get hit by a car to save my external HD but not my iPod

[Broden Terry]

I'd like to think i'm more sensible, but, I probably would freak out and throw myself in front of the iPod.

I think it'd be an automatic reaction. :shrug: I'd like to think I wouldn't throw myself in front of a vehicle though.

[tonighttonight0]

Fuck no

[futilespider]

i almost got hit by a car once saving my ipod. i was runnin across the street and it fell out of my pocket and i made a matrix like move and got it and avoided getting hit. it was pretty epic.

i really didn't even think about it though when i did it, i just dropped it, and didn't want to loose it so i went and got it. lol

[DI Pistola]

I'm always down for a legit excuse to buy new shit.

[swt_catastrophe]

id rather get hit by a car to save my external HD but not my iPod

exactly my thoughts.

[queenofcrouton]

I would not. All of my music is on my computer, I sync automatically. I can just get a new one.

Exactly.

And my iPod is currently out of commission, so that doesn't help its cause.

[josiahh]

i only have a shuffle that i won in that stack 'em game....so, fuck yes i'd jump in front of a truck, i won that shit fair and square! ain't no truck gonna crush my dreams, that's the wife's job...got a lil' country there, my bad.

truth be told, i most certainly would not jump in front of traffic to save an ipod.

[imageinsight]

Not an iPod, but I would most certainly do it for my 120gb Zune...

[yayitsjoe]

... the hell?

[hollyy.heart.at]

It's just my ipod, my music collection will still be in my itunes.

[Shin Akuma]

hell no
