Australian police want pedestrians to know: trendy white iPod headphones can kill. New South Wales police commissioned several morbid posters in which slain pedestrians are outlined by the white wire of an iPod headphone instead of chalk. The odd thing is, Austrailian traffic services commander John Hartley admits there is little evidence to show Apple's iPods or any other digital music players have actually led to anyone's death. Hartley told the Sydney Morning Herald police reports only go so far as to note "pedestrian distraction."

Although we have seen no increase in pedestrian incidents over recent years, the growth and uptake of these new technologies could be a potential problem...

But don't let the fact that there is no statistical call for this public awareness campaign stop you from enjoying more scenes of gruesome iPod-wrought carnage, below.
