  1. New road ad to combat young speeding drivers, l may have to restrain myself from using the little finger at times ๐Ÿ˜„


    "YOUNG men who speed do so because they have a small penis - or so the new RTA road safety campaign implies.

    Ads from the $1.9 million campaign - which targets speeding among 17- to 25-year-olds - aired for the first time on TV last night. They show onlookers who see speeding male drivers wiggling their pinkie fingers.

    The gesture represents a small penis in youth culture, but even an elderly woman employs it.

    John Whelan, the RTA's director of business co-ordination, road safety and policy, said the campaign aimed to make speeding socially unacceptable.

    Yerse. Now you know why the rev heads don't wear bicycle shorts, and usually wear
    baggy coats and all covering loose jeans...

    I doubt that there is any valid underlying science (4WD drivers notwithstanding), but maybe
    there is. If the messaging works, then why not...

    Would anyone caught committing any of those offences be handed a
    speeding fine? Nope. Would a speed camera record any of those
    offences? Nope.

    The ad would be perfect if the final message that popped on screen was
    "burnouts, running down pedestrians, driving sideways - no one thinks
    big of you."

    The definition of "speeding" broadens yet again!

    I much prefer this version...
