Keep snoops from watching your iPod

(Credit: Crave UK)

As this item comes from our cousins across the pond, we're tempted to make a snide remark about prim-and-proper Brits--but then they'd retaliate, and we'd lose. So we'll just note blandly that Crave UK has found an privacy screen (pronounced with a short "i") from iStyles for the iPod, which shields the display against prying eyes while riding the tube or in other congested venues.

Japanese subway riders have had a similar product for awhile now, but it makes sense that the idea would arise in their country first. After all, no one knows overcrowded transportation like they do.

Anglo-Saxon Primness & Properness

Nothing to do with the product in question, but exactly where does this concept of Brits being "Prim & Proper" come from?

I blame Mary Poppins...

...and her chimneysweeping friend. That's chimneysweeping with a short 'ch'mn'y.'

Prim and proper? More like 'porn addicts rejoice!'

Like 'Hallelujah', except without the religious connotations.

Let's see...ears plugged...eyes riveted to a little screen...all out in public. Sounds like plum pickings for a jacker. Can't get more 'nude' than that, can you?
