Reverse Airbags

Rant time! Expect them with some regularity, as I hate people in general.

The more I think of it, the more I think the design of cars and airbags is completely backwards...

(I'm not talking about the environmental issue. I'll probably address that at some point but suffice it to say that any species stupid enough to create/invent/develop something that spews out a poisonous gas into an atmosphere which they need to BREATHE TO LIVE... Well, maybe they shouldn't survive.)

Anyway, if it was up to me, airbags would be on the outside of cars, protecting people from the irresponsible idiots who are driving... and that irresponsiblity DOES include environmental issues along with everything else.

By the way, this rant is brought to you courtesy of my being almost run down by some dumbass yapping on the phone... AGAIN. This happens to me with an alarming regularity that REALLY intensifies in the summer, because then, while cycling, I may as well be invisible. Plus, there are more distractions around (some of these don't bother me so much... ladies, I'm talking to you).

For some reason people are so selfish/oblivious/etc (take a pick) , that even though 85% of them can't chew gum and walk at the same time, when they get behind the wheel they decide its time to make a few calls, or adjust their make-up, or get a hand-job from the tarted-up fashionista in the passenger's seat.

So here's the solution. Airbags on the outside protecting the world from the idiots... and on the inside? Spikes that deploy upon impact, right through the frontal lobe. They're activated if the car detects a cell-phone in use, or if its speeding, or if the driver's biometrics indicate that they are distracted, etc... Or if the radio is tuned to some bubble-gum B***S***. BS, I'm looking at you.

Does anyone really want these genes in the pool?
