Daily Digg: Banning Cellphones and ipod's in New York

[mrpokieskacore]

I do think it makes sense, but really only is a necessary law for idiots. Anyone with any sense of awareness shouldn't have a problem lisening to music.

[updownall]

lol I think its stupid. xD Nice example

[sugarbabe216]

i think it's bull shit!!!!!!!i mean so many people are gonna break that law it's not even funny!!

[muzikaluv]

woooooooooooooow! hehe awsome vid though!=)

[hannaluvsbball50]

wow.... youve made your point.... its their own dumbass fault for not watching out where theyre walking... just like the whole illegal suicide thing... if ppl wanna do it... they cant punish you (for suicide...) youll already be dead... so like... if people wanna be stupid and not pay attention to where theyre walking.... thats fine with me.

[OldeEnglish93]

that's really crazy- haha i loved the freddy kreuger thing and the ipod dancing<3

[scuzmunkie]

i think i'd beat down any one who'd try to take away my mp3 player!! i really hope that stupid law doesn't get passed!

[hornedbeast91]

dood if theyu do that ill go like fucke it

[HahaYoureDead]

very interesting topic Cody. and yeah, i'd like to know how the hell the cops plan to enforce this new "law" :P . good job on the video. <3

[AshleyMiscellaneous]

Whoa, people can be very...stupid. Haha, nicely said Cody. :]

<33

[lexxapro]

I think thats like one of the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If people don't know how to look both ways and what not they shouldn't be crossing the street in the first place.

[GiR2007]

I hate laws which are put into place due to the stupidity of some people. We should just accept that some people are dumb and we don't all have to be patronised. Like the day I took "ladder training" at my old job.. (Yes thats right, I had to be trained to walk up a 3 foot ladder) I felt like i was 5 years old again. I even got a ladder training certificate? I mean.. WTF?! :P

[joveev]

uh that was interesting. i heard that cells turn your brain like to mush or somthing maybe i will do some research.

[thegame9100]

Rofl. I like this. Im gunna watch some more of your vids and I might subscribe. I like your smartass attitude :D

[WeirdoEmo]

OMG! That is the crappiest thing I have ever heard! That situation isn't that far away from me. I have heard that in Australia, or well Victoria that they are saying about banning ipods on the streets! I was gonna watch the full report but got distracted. It really annoys me and its the stupidest thing ever! And as you said they cant control jay walking as if they will be able to control that ban.

[Ahippi]

Thats easy Ban those idiots who come out with this ban laws = That simple ....ok better yet execute them in the town square.

[Meluvkatz]

Kruger doesn't have enough to do. He is just trying to justify his 6 figure salary.

[ericthomas1970]

Right on, Cody! You have common sense, unlike 99.999% of the politicians in this country. Keep up the great videos! :)

[boylebongo]

You should be ashamed of yourself for making this video mocking the death of someone who was killed while crossing the street while listening to an ipod. That's a very inconsiderate and ignorant thing to do. Do you have any decency? I don't think this bill should become law and I definitely do not think you are a good person.

[JayZoop]

Cody is not directing the video directly at the person that died. He's just portraying people in the future who might get hit. The person is dead anyways. Calm down a bit.

[badfex]

BAsically he's potraying what an asshole that senator is, not mocking the death of that person!

[TheOneHaunting]

tht is so stupid... SO STUPID!!

[lisaaverill]

thats ridiculous. if they do that they should ban big signs with lights ...and id like to see them do that actually because they cant

great vid

[iceblitz]

lol luckly i dont live anywere near ny :$ gr8 vids as always cody

[kissmekissx3]

omg thats gay ipods n' cellz haha

[CarlyBennett]

Well duhh .. Some might not hear A Car ..

[burntonion]

Banning people from crossing the street while being occupied with an electronic device is like banning people from getting murdered from serial killers. Why don't they ban drivers from running over these people who are crossing the street? What is next, are we going to ban the deaf, dumb, and blind from crossing the street?

[KennethsGreatWar]

NICE VIDEO. Thats a crappy law. Hmm they should try to ban weather. That would be fun to watch.

[eveofu]

Ill never give up my ipod my mommy always said look both ways before crossing the street :)

[acehydro06]

lol what a joke

[badfex]

The proposed ban comes because he's a boring waste of time and just wants some headlines...

What a tossbag. Great vid as usual :)

[royalg2]

yuh well nobodys blaming the real problem here which is people, people! cell phones and ipods don't kill people... people kill people!

[sumfight]

Yeah, I mean it is a pretty crazy law, but if they were to outlaw this, food is prob next

[sumfight]

Lol, heck yeah!! Vote for me for NY Senator!!! :P

[sumfight]

Thanks :)

[wera00]

ipod's Suxxx

[sumfight]

I love my pod :P

[mth71]

What are you talking about? iPods are dangerous.

[sumfight]

I know, they fall from the sky and make the road all crazy like... wait that's snowflakes, which ohio has a lot of right now :(

[Cast00]

These kind of laws are only to distract people from the real problems, and as you can see, it works.

[sumfight]

dead right on it, it just get's our attention away from the real problems

[spazyk]

true.

[sumfight]

Yep, it is a crazy law

[featherdude]

Dumb idea! Typical "get some votes" trick designed to protect us from ourselves. No one can make life safe all the time so leave us the hell alone!!

[sumfight]

Right on, life is about taking chances, with laws like this, we will not be able to do anything anymore

[SirEuchre]

Hmm, fight stupid with stupid?

Sounds like usually happens when you try to do the thinking for people that aren't thinking for themselves.

If it weren't for concerns of liability, I suspect there'd be more allowance of natural selection in our society.

[sumfight]

"If it weren't for concerns of liability, I suspect there'd be more allowance of natural selection in our society."

That is a great way to put it, really people are just so dumb nowadays

[matto95]

lol ya how are they there just stupid

[sumfight]

They are really dumb, I guess I really don't even understand the law

[blondebabe1806]

i think if you want to have phones ipods and other stuff with you while crossing the street then do it. thats why your taught to look both ways before crossing the street. wow.. what a stupid law..

[sumfight]

Look both ways before crossing hte street, that is 100 percent right, the law is just crazy

[inzyde]

heh this reminds me of them banning backpacks and all bags in school because a old teacher tripped over one and broke her hip

[sumfight]

They banned them in my school becuse they were scared we would carry a gun in the school with them

[MidnightShadows5]

I loved that demonstration! XD

[sumfight]

Lol thanks :P

[iscarestrangers4fun]

At this rate, soon in NY there will be a law against eating when crossing the street. I don't know how I'd make it to school on time if I wasn't able to eat my Pop Tarts.

Stupid pointless laws...

[sumfight]

Man I love pop tarts so much!!!

Yeah, it is getting pretty dumb, that is for sure

[ohsocorny]

YOU.

YOU ARE INFATUATED WITH THAT SONG.

hah.

okay, i love it too.

[sumfight]

You!!!

you are right, and I am very sleep right now!!

[ohsocorny]

YES.

I CAN TELL.

BECAUSE.

YOU FORGOT TO ADD A "y" TO SLEEPY.

MAYBE YOU SHOULDNT STAY UP ON THE PHONE TILL THREE AM.

yo.

:]

whoa.

caps.

:D

[sumfight]

It's very stupid, one of the worst laws I have heard about in years

[sumfight]

Yeah, it is a joke, and I really doubt you have anything to worry about, people get crazy with the laws though :(

[sumfight]

I want to live in Cal really bad!!! and yes it is a very crazy idea

[sumfight]

BFS, you pretty much summed it up with those three words right there

[sumfight]

Lol, yeah, it prob won't get passed, but silly anyway :)

[superfrodies]

I think its freakin LAME! you can't actually keep people from listening to their ipods...this is a free country aint it? might as well keep people from leaving their homes...THEY COULD GET KILLED!

[sumfight]

Lol, I bet that will be the next one they try to pass,

"the world is unsafe, better not go out" :P

[KadratisVelevere]

Lame. It think it's the person who is using the cell phone/iPod/electronic device has their own responsibility to pay attention to the things around them. Banning them will just make people upset.

And yeah, like a couple others, I'm glad I don't live in NYC! Booya, Ohio! At least there's ~ONE~ redeeming thing about this state! LOL

Anyway, it's awesome to see you still posting on YT, Cody. I hope the LiveVideo thing's going good for ya!

[sumfight]

You're right it is very Lame, and I guess since Ohio is behind the times it is kind of nice in that aspect.

LV is going great, they just featured this video over there, so it is getting a ton of exposure :)

[coolsteevo]

That sucks. Someone sitting there listening to clay aiken and BAM! They're dead.

[sumfight]

Yeah, it would suck really bad for it to happen to you, but i think it was more they were not looking rather then not listening

[coolsteevo]

Something similar actually happened to a girl walking home from school. She was walking on a train track and had a head set on and was hit. Sucks balls.

[alisonelizabeth1]

that it the most retarded thing ever.

[sumfight]

Yep, just as dumb as the TF law they passed too

[alisonelizabeth1]

is*

and like i just want to say that bill can never get passeed. i love NY. i mean, i was hit by a car and it nothing to do with an mp3 player or a cell phone. there is an equal chance the get killed either way: distracted or not.

[DARN0C123]

thats pretty dumb good think i dont live in NYC =D

[sumfight]

Yeah, it's very dumb, but I don't think that it will pass, it would be so dumb if it did

[Gulando]

Lol. sounds like another non-law...It does have its merits though, i mean there are a good few idiots out there who are crossing the road irresponsibly while listening to their mp3s which warrants the introduction of such legislation. It can be dangerous crossing the road and not being able to hear cars, I take at least one earphone out when I cross the road or even when im driving and yeah it sucks cos my music then sounds suky but safety first guys

[sumfight]

Yeah, well safety first always, but this is just a crazy law to even think about passing, I mean when I jam I can still look around :P

[Gulando]

Fair enough, it goes without my saying that it encroaches on certain freedoms so I was just trying to offer another perspective...let me dig myself a deeper hole and say i don't think yuor govt., however flawed, is attempting a systematic withdrawl of your freedoms, sounds just lyk a common-sense law with the publics' best interests at heart, no?

[thezec]

man thats a bit harsh lol

what if someone is eating while crossing the road? do they ban food then? all people have to do when crossing the road is simply look both ways and pay attention lmao good video :)

[sumfight]

Yeah, food will be the next to go, then watches, and then our eyeballs for looking other places, laws are getting so crazy nowadays :(

[dabiribd]

Don't think so!!lol

[sumfight]

Lol, yeah there is no way (IMO) that it is going to pass, thanks for the comment to Ben :)

[aSillyGirl]

Thank god, I don't live in NYC.

Funny video :)

[sumfight]

I want to live in a big city, but it is a little scary to think they go this crazy over something like this

[bloodrune44]

its true its dumb as hell.... they deffinately wont

be able to enforce it withought like a cellphone radar or something lol

[sumfight]

Lol, omg, that is a great idea for a skit, a cellphone radar, sorry I know this is off topic, but I might use that for a skit idea :)

[royalg2]

okay i think i got it so when i get road over by a truck while i'm just walking there on a crosswalk with a green light and then while i'm lying dead in the street there a cop checks to see if my ipod was on then it was my fault!

[ukichik]

I think banning ipods and cellphones would be really stupid. I mean if you can't look left and right before crossing the street, then it's your fault and millions of people should suffer because of that person. If someone's not responsible enough then don't buy a cellphone!

[sumfight]

100 percent right, I mean it's your own fault when shiz like this goes down, and it is very dumb that we all must take a fall for it :(

[ukichik]

[mvt9859]

fuck again i live in NYC and i cross the damn street to get to fucking school o well your videos are cool dude

[sumfight]

Lol, I like the added street part, had me laughing :P

[mvt9859]

fuck i live in NYC

[sumfight]

Well it's something that may effect you, but I don't see them passing such a crazy law

[lindeli]

Wow, that's a pretty crazy ban. I agree that'll it will be hard to enforce, but it would be safer.

I loved your impression of it, I was laughing so hard!

Love your videos! <3

[sumfight]

Yeah, it is going to be crazy hard to enforce, Glad you liked my music part :P

[lindeli]

Yeah, but I don't live anywhere near NY, so I guess it doesn't affect me that much. =P

And your welcome. ^^
