Did you know that playing your music too loud can hurt your ears? Evidently this is news to a bunch of folks that are suing Apple because the iPod is just too loud. According to this story in the MercuryNews:

The suit notes that in 2002 France required Apple to limit the iPod's sound output to 100 decibels. The iPod sold in the United States is capable of producing music with decibels between 115 and 130 -- about the sound level of an air raid siren, the suit said.

Do the French not know how to use a volume control? What is next, suing Wusthof for selling knives that are too sharp? (Clearly, there are none of those in France.)

Anyone remember when the dumb and disgruntled just sued Microsoft? Those were the days.
