    I would submit that to Visa. I hear they're actively searching for new
    material. Seriously.

    LOL. Yeah I have seen a commercial or two asking for submissions to
    priceless.com But I think mine may bother too many non-cyclists.

    Submit it anyway. If it bothers a few gashog pilots, that's just an
    added bonus.

    Okay I sumbitted it! Actually the form on the website forced be to alter
    it somewhat, but basically the same.

    The use of "slave" would be too controversial for them, too many coffin
    drivers would be offended.

    That was my thinking as well, but I still used it in my submission.

    My thinking was this was just a bad patch.
    I have never seen one fail like that before.
    Whats the opinion on this failure?

    It looks like a glueless patch.


    No it's a typical contact adhesive type patch.

    Good for you! As they say in New England, "Soo'-pah!"

    If people are offended, too bad for them. I'm offended by Escalades, Hummers,
    and your garden variety minivan and SUV.
