A Quibble

Something I just remembered... There's a television advert which at least someone must have seen: it's one of those "THINK" road safety ones. There have been several: one in a bar, where the two blokes sitting at a table "hit" the girl walking across in front of them; the mock "MTV Cribs" "Don't die before you've lived" one; the one with the guys crashing and dying covered in blood/crashing with seatbelts on and getting covered in pizza topping; the "After killing his mum, Thingy sat back down" one with the kid in the backseat not doing up his seatbelt...

They're all fine and dandy, but there's one that annoys me: In it, a man is driving along a road (surprise surprise!). He sees a motorbike in his rearview mirror. The voice-over says "Now you see him". Looks again: "Now you don't". Sees bike in wing mirror: "Now you see him". Looks again: "Now you don't". Bike is now in the "Blindspot", hovering just behind and oustide a car, where the driver cannot see him, and where he should not be. He's too close to the car. He should go past, or drop back and pull in. But he doesn't, and the car driver indicates to turn right. He slows down, he turns, and the motorcyclist, too close to the car and on the outsidw so that the car turns across in front of him, hits the car.

The Voice-over says: "Now you see him. Now you see him. Now you see him." Excuse me? You see the pratt whose bad driving has bust up your car and possibly cost him his life. And the message at the end? "Look out for each other." Excuse me?! Howabout: Motorcyclists: keep in lane, and keep your distance! :@

Other notes: Podge can be proud of me - I videod American History X last night... watched it earlier tonight... Pr0 stuff... Reminds me of Police Academy: "Niiiice haircuts, men!" Appropriate for Willy T at the moment? :P

Anyway, that in turn reminds me of Enemy of the State...

Quote of the Moment:
Selby : Jones, Krug, what, are you guys from Communications?
Jones : No, we're Ops.
Fiedler : You can tell by their haircuts.

Super... Fiedler was played by Jack Black, btw... spurious info r0x0rs :D

G'night!
