Review: Living In Emergency
"On any given day on a California freeway, it is not uncommon to see a young woman, phone cradled against one ear, carefully painting her nails a winsome shade of crimson, looking up now and then to inch her car forward in traffic.” That's what the New York Times wrote today in a lede about an article about the hands-free cell phone law. Playboy, who, yes, has a blog, jumped on top of it. "Anyone want to bet that the reporter actually saw it? And saw it more than once? We’re giving odds."

oh yeah, that's right, we don't have bimbos in cars on cell phones in LA.
Why is the NYT treating the sighting like it's a bad thing? I've often thought it would be nice to have something productive to do while inching along in traffic. That woman deserves praise for making good use of otherwise dead time.
Back when I had a car, I probably would have done it. But unfortunately, I had a stick shift.
I could have gotten so much done... *sighs*
Well, if Playboy is going to manufacture bimbos, they might as well defend them. Good looking out, I say.
I see this a lot too actually - unfortunately on regular surface streets. Why is this a problem? The stupid women are driving slower to be able to concentrate on both their nails and the road - which means everyone else behind them are also slow. If you're 4-5 cars behind them - you just think it's regular traffic - go around at a normal speed - then you realize - oh another woman driver failing miserably at multitasking. Can't they do that when they're at the office and reading tmz,msn,hotmail.com, like most of my female coworkers?
