iPod hearing loss - duh.

So a Louisiana man has decided to sue Apple for hearing loss that he claims is due to the iPod. I mean, come on - is this really worth tax-payers money to appear in court?? The guy should be locked up in a padded cell on some remote island just in case something could happen to him. I mean, if left to fend for himself in Louisiana he could get run over and blame Nike for supplying the very shoes that took him to that busy intersection where the car hit him.

Apple, and most other audio system manufacturers usually integrate a special system into their devices to prevent things like hearing loss - it's called a VC, or Volume Control. And then there's an emergency over-ride function for people that don't know about the volume control - it's called the Off Button. Surely there are people that are better qualified to tell this guy about such features than a judge?
