Replacing air bags with video screens illegal
How about a laptop - so I can stay online while I drive? Sounds reasonable...

Instead of the Feds getting involved, just don't let the car pass inspection at the state level.

Why is it a bad idea to disarm explosive devices you find inside the passenger compartment?

The show is almost as shameful as the Feds.
They do a 40K or 50K pimp job ( 4 Gameboys, 10,000 watt sound system, 6 monitors) on someone's piece of junk, and leave them with a drivetrain that is still gonna crater in 6 months, and an electrical system that can't power what they install.

Dem chillens is off dah muscle! Yeah..check it out, man!
I swear, if the boobs on this show couldn't use the phrase "check it out, man" they'd be speechless.
Yup. Watched it once and as soon as it was over I could feel the IQ in my neighborhood go up.

As long as the screen was only operative when the car wasn't moving, I don't see it as a big deal. It would sure make sitting in traffic more bearable...

"Air bags are there for a purpose, to protect you."
Whether you want them to or not. Hit a deer, get a ballon in the face. "Thank you Mommy, may I have another?"

Instead of the Feds getting involved, just don't let the car pass inspection at the state level. What inspections?
To: Luddite Patent Counsel
And it is likely your insurance company will total your car, too.... just because the air bags went off.

How about, in keeping with the name of the show, replacing the air bag with an arm that pimp-slaps the driver every time he plays rap music so loudly that other drivers can hear the garbage. That would be a public service.

"We're actively pursuing several others," Tyson said, "It's not only a bad idea to disable the air bag, it's against the law. Air bags are there for a purpose, to protect you.Yeah! Those air bags are great kid-killers! That's what the Traffic Safety Council wants!
Too many liberals running loose in this country. (grumble)

Instead of the Feds getting involved, just don't let the car pass inspection at the state level. Not all states have inspections. Florida, for one, is one of the lucky ones that does not have them anymore.

It's the show spinoffs I'm really worried about:

"If you have a DVD player there instead of an air bag, it's not going to protect you in a crash."
Nuggets of wisdom like this make me wish that we could pay MORE in taxes.

Gezz... if they want to kill themselves, let them. That's the problem with America now keeping the stupid people in the gene pool. Time to remove the stickers from the hairdryers.
