"A Memphis woman was arrested and charged with first-degree murder after she bludgeoned her boyfriend to death with an iPod. [...]

Brad Pulaski had died of blunt trauma to the head after being repeatedly bludgeoned with an iPod, a popular MP3 player produced by Apple. [...]

According to law officers, Mathers was hysterical when police arrived and told them that she killed her boyfriend only after he accused her of illegally downloading music and erased about 2,000 of her MP3s. Mathers complained that it took 3 months to build her music collection."

“It took him a while to die,” Dr. Klamut said. “She must have stabbed him 40 to 80 times with that iPod. His death was not instantaneous, that’s for sure”

Someone really has some issues, and I'm thinking that its more than just having a few songs erased....

Wow, that's a really good knock-off of CNN's page/article style--it had me completely fooled until I noticed the top says "Headlined News" with the extra 'd' compared to "Headline News." Granted it was only about 10 seconds, but I was about 5 seconds away from sending the URL to a friend as a serious item. :eek:

agree... also if you back track so the URI, it leads you to someone's personal website. I was fooled for a bit, till I read your post then examined the evidence.
 
that is unfathomable

imagine first of all being beating to death by your girlfriend...and then over something as stupid as some mp3's
 
In case there's any doubt, despite the messages above--

this is not a real story. it's a joke.

kind of funny tho, for the "i could see that actually happen" factor :D

Wonder how well the iPod stood up to this unique form of abuse, doubtful the Dell MP3 player could have withstood that without turning into a handfull of pieces parts.

Almost reminds me of the old Timex commercials - "Takes a licking, and keeps on ticking..."

... or the Samsonite gorilla commercial.
 
If someone deleted my 3000 err..6803 songs after accusing me I downloaded them illegally I'd most likely do the same thing at the peak of the rage. :D

It's amazing how often people get fooled by satire. I used to teach college writing, and several times my students tried to use stories from The Onion as sources for research papers.

Well, Michael Moore has The Onion listed as one of his news sites, so it must be creditable :rolleyes:

Well, now that the iPod can be used as a deadly weapon, we must ban it from everywhere... Guns don't kill people, iPods kill people... I guess you'll have to have a license from now on to carry a concealed iPod...

The good thing for this woman, though, is that she can only be tried for murder, not murder and illegal downloading of music...
 
That is very sad. May he rest in peace. I imagine that there has been ongoing issues with this couple. This was just the puberal final straw that broke the camels back. Sadly in a beating type of death the victim suffers.
 
You know, if you're able to read the original story, you should be able to read the subsequent posts where we discuss this being a joke. Once again, for all that missed it, so you don't have to feel sorry for the guy (or the iPod)

this story is a joke

Thank you :)
