And here’s the personal account of Nimco Ali, a British national who got cut when she was 7 in Djibouti, Africa if you really want to bum yourself out for a few hours, or minutes depending on your tolerance for the practice of vaginal massacre. And here’s the My Fox Chicago story about some guy who got jumped for his Beats By Dre (and was subsequently saved by his “guardian angels”). Here’s the clip of the dumbass who got his Beats stolen. I’d say this is a good thing, but thieves are also annoying and stupid, so his beats are now in the hands of someone slightly more obnoxious: And finally, the ZDNet review of Beats, along with Gawker’s stupid tips on how not to get your Beats stolen.
