Do Not Carry These Sunglasses In Your Back Pocket, Especially While Sitting
If any of us needed a reminder that television news is designed to provoke, annoy and worry us, the current obsession with the bending of the Apple iPhone is only the latest extreme example.  Just as you wouldn't carry the sunglasses shown above in your rear pocket, why would you do that to a $600-$1,000 electronic instrument?  Who among us has the money to buy something this expensive and not exercise at least a minimum of caution?

Don't take our word for it.  Turn on Fox or MSNBC or CNN right now and you will be told in minutes that Ebola is on the way to kill you if ISIS doesn't get there first, that a hurricane is on the way, or an earthquake imminent, or anything else the people who write what the news anchors read to us can come up with.

P.S.:  Apple announced that of the 11 million or so iPhone sold this past week, only nine consumers have complained.  A higher percentage of Philadelphia urbanites hop on a public bus after a fender bender to claim false injuries.  Like this:

SEPTA officials say the chance of hitting it rich by faking an injury on a bus, subway or trolley is rapidly getting harder as more and more surveillance cameras are covering the system.

During one incident, video shows Ronald Moore running across the street in front of a bus that had just been lightly sideswiped by a taxi. After the bus driver exits the bus to deal with the cabbie, Moore boards, checks a rear window to make sure the driver is not paying attention, then grabs his back and lays down across a row of seats to fake his injury. He does all this even though he was not on the bus at the time of the accident.
