the first post was clearly a parody of misogynism. it was making fun of people
who have that attitude, rather than of the apparent target.

amusingly, and this is directed at the first poster, women are
statistically
better drivers in canada.
i believe it's mostly young men who are notoriously inept on the road. the fact
that they pay higher insurance premiums sort of speaks to that.
personally, i have no problem calling a dumbass on spelling mistakes. i mean, if
some idiot is going to play the "women are inferior" card when his iq and his
education are in the single digits, he has it coming.
from having worked in the insurance industry (yeah it was horribly evil, but it
paid relatively well), i can inform you that the primary reason insurance rates
are higher for men is simply because they do far more driving on average.

rofl! sexist comments aside, i find it hilarious that any of you would even
respond; especially in such an embarrassingly impassioned way. yeah sisters,
lets change the world one eztv post at a time! for a website predicated on
copyright infringement, i don't think this is the forum for taking the moral
high ground. let's stick to comments amenable to the videos posted and not
perceived states of social inequity and degradation, eh? so... worth the
download or not?

would you be my girlfriend? i am not trying to offend you. i am serious. this
offer is genuine. women with character being rare, i thought i'd ask. if you
live anywhere near eastern usa/canada the offer stands. unless you are married
then forget it.

i expect this to be a re-airing of the fox show from april of 2001. if so, it's
a compilation of footage that's available on the internet - though they've paid
some minimum-wage lackey to find the originals, so it's better quality and
doesn't say "ebaum" in the corner.
mostly police chases, but with some awful weather conditions and poorly
designed roadways, fox then overlays some pompous-ass (male) narration to
characterize the poor shlubs caught in these situations as "maniacs"
and "idiots." (and, with a nod to the above postings, it's here - in these
mainstream narrations - that the real work to eliminate misogynism needs to be
done. because, if the unfortunate driver happens to be female, this prick-of-a-
narrator is sure to say something akin to: "here's a little lady who should
have stayed in the kitchen." )
but, generally, these aren't the "worst drivers in the world;" they're people
caught in the worst driving *conditions*. and rather than inject even a moducum
of education as to what one *should* do, should one find onself in a similar
situation (which would require some degree of empathy), the narrator finds
fault with "the other."
he probably then drove home - jelly donut in one hand, cel phone in the other,
steering with his knees - to find his wife just left him.
of course, i could be wrong (except about the ex, with whom i'm
currently "just" friends). if anyone *does* watch this and there *is* anything
redeeming (or even amusing) about it, please *do* come back to post your
recommendation.
till then: pass

thanks lesuth for apologizing and languagepolice for showing the corrections.i
really would have appreciated a little "lol" or "j/k" or something at the end of
your post dvdking instead of wasting my time because there are people that still
think that way and i just wanted to put them in their position. you really don't
want to push my feminist buttons...
from ogluktu: my previous was obviously to the attention of fortinbrasa...
this "fortinbrasa" account is actually that of my boyfriend's. he goes on this
site not me, and he just showed me dvdking's comments because he knows how angry
i get at misogynism and i couldn't let it go.

Quote by mantric
any way, i have an eerie feeling that all the people who posted
here live in a more or less free country close to being void of women and minority
oppression, so enjoy another great day
more or less. well, let's just say it's a lot less these days if you're speaking
of america. it's not exactly free is it, what with the patriot act, and an
administration of assclowns doing it's best to overturn the constitution.
america's only as free as its most impoverished class and i have an eerie
feeling you've never experienced first hand the dreary life that many of the
poor in america endure day after day.

@fortinbrasa and the spelling police
first, it wasn't to smart of the first poster to make that post, obviously he thought everyone was from a
very civilized country where women have had rights, you can tell he was just trying to get people riled up,
he admitted it was a joke, i think everyone could se immediately that it was a joke, a distasteful one, but a
joke nonetheless, so a simple "not funny" would have sufficed.
now, you on the other hand, flatly pointed out his grammar errors between their and there, and as i
believe, had more or less called him retarded. maybe he has issues, maybe he doesn't, or maybe it was a
simple mistake. however, whatever his reason, that did not sit well with me. "i" can not tell the
difference between there and their no matter how much you tell me, and slowly and more often lately, the
differences between too and two and hear and here.
i am not retarded, i am not uneducated, if anything i have one hell of a higher iq than you and him
combined, what i do have is a brain tumor along with a few other accompanying neurological disorders.
next time before calling someone uneducated or stupid for spelling mistakes, remember that some of us
do have problems, not to mention the medications we get make it even more difficult to write properly. so
it takes a lot of effort to get past the medical issues mentally, and i have no desire to have someone
reminding me all of the time, and i am sure everyone else with a problem feels the same. i am sick of the
grammar fixers all over the place. i am grammatically inept, and i like it.

talk about a thread gone haywire... (sidenote) the guy in the red 4x4 jeep who
loses his mind when he hears the amount of the ticket..classic! oddly enough
my voice also goes up a notch in pitch whenever i have a nice conversation
with the police.

thank you, no! it sounds too much like you might be from somewhere where folk
drive on the left side of the road. i've been to london and, crossing the
street, i'd qualify for "the world's worst *pedestrians* caught on tape,"
there. my iq's around 115, too - but i'm well aware that that's only 46 in any
country that uses celsius!
