- johnalan, on 05/20/2009, -2/+38FTA: "Tampa police said the 16-year-old was crossing the street Tuesday morning when she dropped the electronic device. She went back to grab it off the roadway, and that's when she was hit by the truck."
it wasn't exactly her body gaurd style diving and pushing the ipod out of the way at the last second for her to take the hit against the truck! she was toddling around the street dropped her ipod and bent down to pick it up! - DipDog3, on 05/20/2009, -5/+31Natural selection at work...
- laserpilot, on 05/20/2009, -4/+29WAS THE iPOD OK??
- ThatsNotPudding, on 05/20/2009, -21/+44All you need to know about Apple Sheeple.
- jonnyoliver, on 05/20/2009, -3/+26Buried for mis-leading title. I want those 5 seconds back.
- Spikito, on 05/20/2009, -2/+23hey, her injuries can heal, the ipods cant.
- jtt123, on 05/20/2009, -6/+25I hope it still works
- Throneofeden, on 05/20/2009, -5/+23She's a bit of an idiot. No concept of the value of oneself and of various purchases? Defines teenage girls to a ***** T.
- gfxl, on 05/20/2009, -0/+15You know things are bad when you have to check an article twice to see if it's from the onion.
- razorc03, on 05/20/2009, -4/+16That's why they STAY in the kitchen
- walgman, on 05/20/2009, -1/+13I got hit crossing the road to get to an ice cream van when i was a nipper. Classic accident. I still nearly get hit when I see them today.
- shrontzy, on 05/20/2009, -2/+14Steve Jobs must be proud.
- magnus3d, on 05/20/2009, -3/+14Wonder if she would take a hit to save a Zune?
- gttim, on 05/20/2009, -0/+10She didn't want to have to reload those Creed tunes!
- clarionhaze, on 05/20/2009, -2/+12how about dumbass?
- Mship, on 05/20/2009, -1/+10Regardless, she is still an idiot for not looking to see if a vehicle was coming. All she had to do was look, hell he car probably wouldnt have even run over the ipod.
- Roulette, on 05/20/2009, -4/+13Fangirls... pffft
- inactive, on 05/20/2009, -1/+10We're one step closer to a race of super-humans who can withstand the impact of a pickup truck? Because she survived with only a broken leg, so it's not as if she's been removed from the gene pool or anything.
- razorc03, on 05/20/2009, -2/+9I hope she still works
- lornefs, on 05/20/2009, -0/+7What a stupid post, who cares???
Unless there was video of course. - CaptRage, on 05/20/2009, -1/+8Wouldn't he be happier if she bought a new one?
- TheOther1, on 05/20/2009, -1/+8RIAA is investigating the contents of the iPod. It is believed if she was willing to risk her life, it was to cover illegal and harmful activity, like sharing music.
- Pilot85, on 05/20/2009, -0/+7buried for use of the word sheeple. I hate that word.
- 0tis, on 05/20/2009, -0/+6She didn't look, fine - but the article did make it sound as if she chose to get hit by a truck to protect the iPod.I was expecting an Onion article and all I got was an article about someone getting hit by a truck.
- RadicalEdward, on 05/20/2009, -2/+8Darwin award nominee.
- Bobby1978, on 05/20/2009, -0/+6I need a picture of her to determine whether her actions were idiotic or cute.
- snagglefoof, on 05/20/2009, -1/+7This comment makes little to no sense.
- SnowBladerX, on 05/20/2009, -3/+8Hey, I would rather get hit by a truck then use a Zune.
- philkav, on 05/20/2009, -1/+6Nah it was just a natural reaction for her to turn back and grab it, it probably all happened in a split second. Nothing stupid really about it
- sprkoolguy, on 05/20/2009, -0/+5I had some other parts in mind
- Lasereth, on 05/20/2009, -1/+6The title is sensationalism *****. Buried.
- teamr, on 05/20/2009, -3/+7I wouldnt take a hit like that for anything less than a 3rd generation nano
- nikki2300dk, on 05/20/2009, -0/+4Misleading. Sounds like she just didn't see the truck.
- waspbr, on 05/20/2009, -1/+5a bit?
- aph33x, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3Florida or Germany?
- bringinSXEback, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3Was Steve Ballmer behind the wheel of this truck?
- JinxCrow, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3FTA "The girl was being evaluated after the collision to determine whether she had suffered a broken leg."
Maybe we should evaluate some other parts too - specifically, her brain. - Patareco, on 05/20/2009, -1/+3very relevant... Burried
- momsshizzle, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2What a tard.
- Khast, on 05/20/2009, -2/+4Logic FAIL: With the cost of the medical bills, she could have bought many iPod Touches.
- Faasnat, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2If it were an Onion story, it would've been, truck driver swerves to avoid iPod, hits girl.
- MonsterRayn, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2If anything, honorable mention. Would up for nomination had she died. Such a shame really, her family would've probably been proud to receive the very prestigious Darwin award.
- ftx437, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2Wow she is stupid.
- 1shawn, on 05/20/2009, -1/+3That's because iPods have the biggest market share, so an iPod incident is more likely to happen than with any other MP3 player.
- BassHead, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2On the other hand, skin heals for free :o)
- MusicMagi, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2I see what you were trying to do there. Yeah, you wanna use a comma there because use of the "if" implies a conditional statement and thus should be followed with the result of the statement.
"God, if it broke and she crashed/broke her leg, she just completely failed."
(how do you crash your leg?)
Grammar-Nazi OUT - magnus3d, on 05/20/2009, -0/+1NOPE.
- akaakc, on 05/20/2009, -0/+1I dun git eet...
- m4fia117, on 05/20/2009, -0/+1that's what i first thought.
