Please don't ban me to the same island as the "fat women shaped like police cars that are the same color as police cars and that have sirens that sound like they're calling you hun, that look like beef".

2) Playing car horns in radio commercials. Freaks me out when I am not paying attentinon.

Please ban these 2 items immediately. thx.

No. Leave the cars alone. Security cars that look like cops are a good thing for the same reason why you don't like it. Criminals feel the same way you do. Every car on the road should look like the Police.

But what about cop cars with sirens that sound like ringing cell phones?

As long as you also ban cop cars with sirens that sound like sirens...freaks me out when I am not paying attention,and then I get fooled and brake thinking I am gonna get ticketed for speeding.

Please ban that item immediately. thx.

How is that different than an empty marked car on the roadside that is placed there intentionally to get motorists to hit the brakes?

Ban fat chicks at malls.
They must be removed immediately if they try on a size 1 when they are actually a size 17.

I would like to add radio commercials with sirens in them.
And radio commercials with cellphones ringing in them.

I've never figured out why people jam on their brakes when they see police cars. The worst place though that I've seen is on the PA turnpike on the branch toward NJ. Traffic will be flowing at 70-75mph in a 65mph zone, there'll be speed trap, and the idiots slam on their brakes and slow to about 40 mph.


Re: #2
Agreed

I was just thinking that to myself as well. Yesterday was going towards Philly on the turnpike and someone sees a car and hits the brakes and by the time i get to it were going 35 for no reason.

Ban Beef shaped cell phones that have siren ringtones and have a picture of a plane, a conveyor belt and the equation 1=0.0000000001 as the wallpaper.
