Technological Disaster

I like technology as much as the next person, but some of this crap is getting out of hand. I was driving home last night after work in a huge lump of traffic, when this minivan cuts in front of me. Luckily, I wasn't going very fast because there was a car on the side of the road and everyone had to stop and rubberneck for 10 minutes before driving on. Anyway, this minivan with soccer stickers on the back with "Little Josh's" name and cheerleading stickers with "Little Buffy" or some shit just cuts right in front of me. As if that wasn't bad enough, they had a television in the visor. Now for people with kids this is a great idea. It keeps them occupied long enough to get where they are going, but to other drivers...kinda distracting. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good episode of Andy Griffith, I mean who doesn't enjoy the antics of Barney Fife? Just not going 75 down the interstate. I find myself staring at the TV, getting closer and closer to this woman's bumper, totally oblivious to the fact that I am inches from shoving the front end of my car straight up her tailpipe. I know what you're thinking, I should have just ignored the TV and concentrated on driving. How can I concentrate when Barney is about to put his only bullet in his gun? I mean, that's when you know he means business.

That's right, girl. Drop that thang! Drop that... um, sorry.
