On the couch watching television

Have you seen that new RTA ad yet? Its the one where there are four guys driving down a street and all turn their heads to look at presumably, a hot girl, then the fat guy yells out look out twice and then the car hits a woman crossing the road and her oranges all roll out of her bag and then it shows everyone in the car in shock with the fat guy crying. What an awfully realistic commercial! *reminiscing about that summer vacation ad*

Anyway, that situation occurs so often in everyday society that its now requires a graphic commercial to make everyone wake up to their senses. The message it conveys is a powerful one: look before you fucking cross the road!

My question is what the hell was that lady doing when she stepped on the road. Perhaps she was also checking out the hot girl; we can only speculate. In my day, we looked before we crossed. I hate pedestrians

So many times I've almost knocked some idiot like her crossing the road. They all cross right under a sign that says 90 or jump out behind of parked cars on the street or worse, they look at you and still cross! Its blantantly obvious that these people are the scum of society. I mean, they have eyes, use them! The car can't see what's in front of it and the driver has a million other things to concentrate on like which radio station to listen to, making sure that SMS I'm typing with my thumb is spelt correctly and most importantly, ensuring that the gust of wind did not adversely affect my hair.

Honestly, why do people like to pretend they are blind?

I think it is time for the NSW government to introduce a special department called the Pedestrians Traffic authority or PTA for short. Here, every pedestrian must obtain a license to cross the any roads, and a special permit to cross highways. The licensing system will include a one year learning period where pedestrians have to wear a big yellow L cardboard sign around their neck, denoting LOSER and after that, a red P sign denoting PRAT and after that, a green P sign to show how experienced you are at crossing the road.

Also, a computer hazards test will also be taken for all potential pedestrians. Here, the pedestrian must indicate when it is appropriate to cross the road in various situations. A strong police force will also be required to ensure that all pedestrian are licensed for the appropriate roads they are crossing. I recommends introducing fixed crossing cameras on all roads to photograph pedestrians who inappropriately cross roads. Random breath tests will also be carried out - any drunk crossing the road will have their license taken away and the pedestrian road book thrown at them.

It is time for the drivers to reclaim their roads. Roads are for cars, walkways are for pedestrians.
