    The brake is the wide pedal in the middle
    Doesn't anyone else find it rather suspicious that suddenly, after a little media coverage, Toyotas seem to be running amok? Either the cars have all be "activated" by a secret transmission that turned on their KILL ALL HUMANS function, or people who couldn't get on reality shows 'cos they didn't have a big foil balloon have found a new path to notoriety.
    Woman Crashes Toyota Into Church, Blames Stuck Accelerator Connecticut, March 10

    Yet Another Toyota Prius Goes Rogue, Smashes Into Wall New York, March 9

    Toyota Prius Runs Wild At 90mph With Stuck Accelerator San Diego, March 8

    etc... etc...

    Funny how this all just started to happen suddenly, isn't it? Gosh, I wonder if these people are just poor drivers, or... Did Bankrupt Runaway Prius Driver Fake "Unintended Acceleration?"

    Washington Post, Spammer
    On a single page of the Washington Post website, the same paper that brought down a president, there are ads for:
    • Make $6,397/month working online

    • Wrinkle removers

    • Lawyers for Yaz lawsuits, Toyota recall, Asbestos, Mesothelioma

    • Acai

    • Kapidex

    • Penny stocks

    And we worry about spam in email?

    When scams meet data mining
    Gosh, thanks to Facebook, the scammers can now tailor an ad that's targeted right at me!



    The only way they could have made this more compelling is if they'd said "We need 43-year-old single white gay men living in Silicon Valley who are incredibly gullible."
