    Bludgeoned with an iPod

    http://www.headlinednews.com/ipod_killing/

    MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE (HLN) - A Memphis woman was arrested and charged with first-degree murder after she bludgeoned her boyfriend to death with an iPod.

    Arleen Mathers, 23, was arrested Thursday morning after she called Memphis Police and said she had killed her boyfriend, according to a Sheriff’s Department report.

    When deputies arrived at Mathers’ apartment at 528 Poplar Avenue, Mathers led them to the body of her boyfriend, Brad Pulaski, 27.

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

    Police said no motive has been confirmed, although evidence suggested the murder was the result of a domestic dispute after Pulaski erased the contents of Mathers’ iPod.

    Didn't I read this story when the first generation iPods were new?

      Entirely possible, as we all know how these sort of "stories" make the rounds.

            This may be a gag, but this really did happen. Maybe not in the place listed, but I've seen reputable new broadcasts showing this crime scene of this iPod killing.
