Sometimes you just can't tune it out, it's so loud. Before I got my MP3 player with my phone, I always saw people with their earbuds walking around airports and thought there was a time and place to listen to music. Now I get it, this IS the time and place.
You see these people slack jawed staring at the screen over a non story. If there is breaking news, that's one thing, but honestly most of it is just pap. Why does it need to be so LOUD?
