No horror stories, just a US government video on the subject. :roll: Entertaining if nothing else.

Wait what, hot bimbos talk about the possibility of time travel? Dang. I had them all wrong.

Also, that talking head at the end kinda bummed the video. Otherwise, fun. :)

Hey, anything the government touches turns to crap. Though it's still better than Microsoft's horrible commercials.

most awesome government commercial ever

Haha yeah, I think she was on heroine while making that advert and that looks like fun!

You have to love the governments attempts to stop us doing stuff, it just never works. I totally agree with the not texting while driving but my god, if they think that advert will stop anyone...

Lol. Nothing's stopping you. :roll:

And man, I almost barfed when i saw the MS commercials for the Windows 7 maunch parties. It built slowly...at first, it just looked bad. Then it became creepy, as older lady, geek hipster, hottie housewife and token black guy appeared to be the strangest collection of friends EVER and actively talked about promoting MS products as if they came running out of some Bill Gates version of Clockwork Orange. *shivers*

EDIT: ARGH AND THEY'RE USING A VAIO

Driving along in my brother's car yesterday over the rush hour highway at -3°, he gets a call, is fumbling in his jacket while steering with one hand and one eye while we're in the middle of the road, only to finally pick it up and talk and drive for 5 minutes. Fucker. :? I'll be damned if I die because some sucka (like him) decided he should take a call in the car he could have taken 10 mins later. Argh. It's like those morons on trains and planes who're always heading for the doors 10 fucking minutes before the doors actually open. CHILL THE FUCK OUT PEOPLE.

/had bad commute today

yea, I'm not cool with people talking on their phone while I'm a passenger. You're endangering my life, you bastard. Can't say I can identify with the train thing though... only poor people take the train. :wink:

Lol I'm with Ox on the people who stand up way too early. I can understand it if you haven't travelled the route before but I see the same people every morning stand up 3 corners before we get into the bus station at West Brom. Do they enjoy having to balance as the bus swings round those corners? Or do they really think being 5 people nearer to the front will affect whether they get to work on time? Fools. I just stay sat down until everyone else has gotten off, even those behind me.

Oh, people do that crap in airplanes too. It's annoying. Just stay seated until the people a few rows up start moving out, at least. No point in crowding the aisle unless you're getting luggage out...and even then, grab your crap and sit back down again. Silly people.

Yeah that's always funny:

Captain: "please remain seated untill the plane has come to a total standstill"

*rightaway half of the passengers standing up to take luggage or do some other random crap*

fuckers
