Nice - Sounds simply Orwellian.
Drug addicts could be given iPods as an incentive to quit (posed by model)

Great, now they reward people just for obeying the law.

“Drug addicts to be given i-Pods if they beat their habits”
Does an IPOD bring as much as a donated inner-city school laptop at the Pawn Shop?
What’s the latest trade in crack-per-Ipod?

I wonder how many of these "reformed" dope addicts will be listening to Bob Dylan tunes or watching Cheech & Chong flicks on their newly acquired i-Pods?

“Research by the University of Connecticut found cocaine and methamphetamine users stayed drug free for longer when they had the chance to win prizes such as telephones, stereos, DVD players and televisions.”
More wasted tax dollars; more idiot, leftist research; more unemployable idiots on their floating island of Laputa.

I’m sort of addicted to chocolate, does that count? Where’s my iPod?

If this works with drug addicts, we can try it with alcholics, smokers, serial killers, rapists, bank robbers, etc!
Everyone knows that iPod ownership is the new American Dream! Yee haw!
Liberals are the stupidest people on the face of the planet!

Umm. If someone is a real addict, ipods are not enough incentive to stop.
I have known several addicts that stole from their parents to support the habit. One pawned her mother’s engagement and wedding rings.

Nobody wants iPods any more. Make it an iPhone or nothing. They can keep their sodding iPods.

Aye, Orwellian for sure. Also reminds me of C. S. Lewis’s That Hideous Strength ... super-agency is the National Institute of Coordinated Experiments (NICE). They didn’t give out Ipods though.
