I kid you not, For is doing accident response testing with a big band of wind.

I shall call it Ford Accident Response Testing and the big blue thing is a FART bag.

"Ford's new active crash-avoidance technology takes all that pesky 'paying attention' and 'pulling your idiot head out of your dumb @ss and trying to not run into big $hit right the #ell in front of you' out of driving."

I fully believe technology is making us dumber as a species by striving to eliminate the survival of the fittest.

I expect the idea will be improved upon by Toyota's Ultimate Research and Development people.

Or Perhaps the people at Acura that brought us the Super Handling Inteligent Traction all wheel drive.

Do those balloons inflate out of nowhere, and then the car automatically avoids them? That actually sounds like fun (the balloon part, not the car driving itself part). Set up a few ballons on an autocross-style course and randomly inflate a few as you approach them. It's like a real-life video game!

'Go 'way, 'batin'.'

Yeah. Once or twice. I'm gald to see it will soon finally be on Comedy Central so that the idiot cable-fed masses will soon be exposed to it.

It's a frightening and hilarious movie all at once. In concept, if not execution, it's on par with Dr. Strangelove, which may be the best movie ever made. I never know whether to cry or laugh watching Strangelove, so I usually wind up doing both simultaneously.
