Advertisers complain about people stealing their ideas. In this case, someone literally stole a pair of giant headphones, worth $12,000 (does that mean they actually work?), that were intended to get people to download free workout music courtesy of the Dairy Farmers of Canada. "Because of the size of the headphones, Halifax Regional Police say they believe two or more people were responsible for the deed," says the local media report.
