A Moron and Some Really Intelligent People

John Patterson of Louisiana is suing Apple because he has experienced hearing loss since he began listening to music with his iPod. But wait, Patterson's attorney said John doesn't know for sure if the iPod caused his hearing loss. The attorney adds:

"He's bought a product which is not safe to use as currently sold on the market. He's paying for a product that's defective, and the law is pretty clear that if someone sold you a defective product they have a duty to repair it."

If iPods are defective for causing someone that lsitens to music too loud to experience hearing loss, the world clearly needs to be cleansed of knives, guns, vehicles, alcohol, and hamburgers, as they may cause undesireable effects if abused are also defective.

Although the iPod is more popular than other types of portable music players, its ability to cause noise-induced hearing problems isn't any higher, experts said.

Somebody is getting overpaid.
