I know it's an outline, but the guy with the iPod looks like he's got a fuse lit going from his crotch to the cuff of his pants...

Yes, but giants in the story books are usually not very bright. Are the giants in Lambeth more discriminating?

The giants don't go after the Zunes because that's troll territory. Billy Goat Brown Zune is top marks for trolls.

Why is he wearing a heavy overcoat in summer? Are summers in London really that cold?

Ok, my next question is: If summers in London really are that cold, why is the guy with the iPod apparently wearing a sleeveless (or short sleeved) shirt? Oh, and he's been working out. Look at those muscular arms. Looks like he could take the overcoat giant easily!

You answered your own question. (BTW, "they're after your pod" implies that both blokes in pic are the pod thieves, in criminal cahoots. Obviously pictured after a successful morning).

Old joke:
Did you hear about the Tyne Bridge being repainted? The Gateshead side got seven coats. The Newcastle side got none... ...because it's not a poof.

That iPod guy is posing kinda like a docuhébag.

I picture baggy jeans a wife-beater, with his arms adorned with tribal tattoos.

Personally, I think the giant is flashing gansta iPod wearer, and iPod guy looks interested, probably thanks to having spent time in prison due to gang-related crimes.

Maybe the short dude knows Karate and stole the iPod from the bigger dude and is parading it in front of him. Note the dejected haunch of the bigger dude.

Don't always assume!

I think that is really a insulin pump and the other guy is asking why it is injecting insulin into the guys ears. Either that or they are aliens undercover, and by "aliens" I don't mean UFO riding visitors.

Oh, wow, I didn't know that.

Actually, I think there are only about 300 or so people who have bought them in the US.

I notice that the terms "Pod" and "iPod" are becoming synonymous with "MP3 player" with some people, particularly among not-so-tech-savvy 40-50 year olds.
