I can’t quite figure out if this is a joke or not … (video unsafe for work!)

… but I’m having a hard time figuring out how anyone thinks this is a good idea.

Driving on a delivery a few hours ago on Paper Mill Road, I noticed, as I passed Cooper Road on my right, what appeared to be the moon, shining through the trees in front of me. Shining very LARGE through the trees in front of me, for that matter. And very bright. For half a second, I actually thought the moon was crashing into the Earth and my life — as with everyone else’s — was about to come to a fiery end.

Then I came around the bend and realized what I was looking at: some asshole decided to mount a giant spot-light thing on his roof. I’m sure his neighbors appreciated the giant light blazing through the rural evening. I didn’t care: delivery to take, money to make.

So, anyway, around 10pm I’m driving home, again on Paper Mill. The asshole in front of me slowed from 50mph (I know because I was going 50 and keeping four car lengths off his rear) to an amazing 15 mph as we passed Spotlight House. He probably would’ve kept slowing down, but I flashed my brights and lay on the horn, and he sped up and disappeared.

I don’t know what’s so amazing about a spotlight on a house that’s going to get someone to oggle it to the point they drop thirty-five miles off their speed, but if this dude was willing to do that to oggle a fucking spotlight, what would he’ve done to oggle some topless chick waving a speed limit around?

Sure — the idea sounds great. Who wouldn’t slow down to oggle half naked attractive chicks? Me, for one (unless I was on my way to a really big tip). Gay guys and straight chicks wouldn’t be slowing down, Grampa’s too blind to slow down any further, Christians with kids in the back of the Jesusvan would probably speed up and rear-end the cars in front of them, all of which would be a complete retardation of the purpose of the half-naked speed limit girls to begin with.

Once you’re past the half-naked speed limit girl, wouldn’t you just speed back up again?

Look, here’s my point: people are stupid. Half-naked speed limit girls are stupid too (I mean, depending on the pay). The idea is really stupid. Anyway.

Oh, yeah: according to the WBAL evening news, temps are going back up to the 80s by the end of the week. I WANT AUTUMN. I WANT COLD CRISP WEATHER.
