‘Straight’ Men Should Be Banned From Driving, Says WH Petition
Cybercast News Service ^ | 6/18/2013 | Penny Starr

Men who are easily distracted by “the mere sight of a woman's thigh” should be banned from driving, says a petition posted on the White House website.

The petition, entitled “Prohibit Straight Men From Driving,’ was posted on May 26 by someone in Illinois and has more than 12,000 signatures to date. It needs 100,000 signatures by June 25 to merit a response from the White House.

“In many public schools, there are dress codes that prohibit students from wearing tank-tops, tube tops, and shorts that are deemed ‘too short,’ as these could distract male students,” the petition reads. “If men can be this easily distracted by women's bodies, then this raises a variety of safety concerns.

“Many busy highways have billboards that use sexually suggestive imagery of women's bodies,” the petition reads. “Women also often go about their everyday lives near roadways wearing tank-tops and short shorts.

“If straight men (and men of other sexual orientations who are attracted to women) can be distracted by the mere sight of a woman's thigh, then it is a public safety hazard to allow them to operate vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds at up to 75mph past these inevitable distractions,” the petition reads.

Billed as a platform to give all Americans “a way to engage their government on the issues that matter to them,” the White House online petition page has proved very popular since its launch in 2011, even attracting the attention of activists overseas.

As the Associated Press recently reported, Malaysians have complained to the White House about election fraud in their country, Chinese activists have revived the case of a  college student poisoned 18 years ago, and activists in other nations also have vented frustrations that get no consideration back home.

To post a petition on “We the People,” petition filers must be 13 or older, no “obscene, vulgar, or lewd material” is allowed, and “threats of unlawful violence” and advertising are banned.

Most of the petitions deal with serious, if obscure, topics, but silliness is not a disqualifier: A petition to “recount” votes in the 2012 election has more than 73,000 signatures, while a plea to “recognize acupuncturist as healthcare providers” has more than 29,000.

"What a unique device, the human tush. An architectural wonder, one of a kind... actually two of a kind. Designed to support our weight for a lifetime of sitting it also has the subtlety to do the samba. And when attached to certain members of the female of the species at a time when light summer dresses are worn, can cause some of us to drive our cars straight up a lamppost."

I've always seen this issue as a "straight man's burden" - and a rather joyful one at that. One of the funniest traffic accidents I can recall was a six car rear-ender caused by a nearby bikini car wash. All of the guys involved were standing together on the shoulder of the road, watching the girls while they waited for the cops to arrive. It was all smiles, shrugs and handshakes, nobody was angry about their car being damaged.

I remember the time my BIL and hubby were playing this VFW and some fat woman flashed them...LOL as my BIL is rather plain and over weight himself, he was the lead singer, so the flashing was targeted at him...in front of his WIFE.

And his wife, my sis is very attractive. I did not get the same genes as my sis did. She turns heads at 52, taken last year.

FYI, Seinfeld was the most popular comedy show in history for a reason.

Nothing lewd,eh? Aren't Republicans routinely referred to as "teabaggers" by the likes of Chrissy Matthews? I think it would be a hoot if someone posted a petition calling for the outlawing of the Republican Party because of their destructive habit of constantly "teabagging".

Yep. Gays are attracted to testivles just as much as straight men are attracted to big breasticles...: )

She looks good for any age but for 52, outstanding. I’m guessing she works out and eats right.

The WH petition site is such a foolish joke.

To use that logic, then everybody should be banned from driving because all folks with differing sexual persuasions will be attracted to that which attracts them and therefore may cause distractions which then cause accidents!

it’s actually meant to forward the notion that the POTUS is royalty and you would be petitioning the king

If this same crap was directed at faggots, we would be labeled homophobes, bigots, and heterofascists. Oh wait...we already are.
