Gyrfalcon: Who'd have thought an insurance commercial would become a meme so fast?

Seriously?

/Can you hear me now?
//Wazzup?
///or was your point 'insurance commercials' in specific?

////AFLAC!

jingks: Awaits women driver pictures.

Grammatically, while "women drivers" seems to be the common usage, shouldn't it be "woman drivers"?

Turn on GPS.. turn off brain.

Renting a Mercedes SUV? When you obviously can't drive? Should've been an Aztec.

*tek.

The GPS directions were perfect.

They were just in the wrong kind of car, that's all.

Here is one (questionable) source that supports plural with plural usage. I'm too tired to research this further tonight, but I believe that it is acceptable to use the plural of man and woman with plural nouns (as in your original sentence).

Gyrfalcon: Insurance commercials specifically. And I don't think shouting "AFLAC!" all over the place qualifies as a meme per se. But using it this way does.

Fair enough.

Though, I may make an argument for 'I saved a bunch of money', because I've heard this followed up many, many times by smartasses repeating 'by switching your insurance...'

/just sayin'

Came for the Who reference, leaving satisfied.

/damn Sontarans

Notabunny: SumoJeb: Turn on GPS.. turn off brain.
Having worked at a marina.. I can say shiat like that is not uncommon.
Boss would let us offer to back people's boats down the ramp and launch them for $20. I regularly would double my wage just backing down people's boats during the day.

It helps that the commercials are funny.

And that we appreciate an actor who saw his brilliance cut short by the jealous Mr. Leary!

In town for a conference in Issaquah? I suspect drugs and alcohol were involved. I wonder if they can check to see what the GPS told them to do. I think the farked up on their own and are very convincing liars when faced with a ruined rental.

My first thought too. Watched it on the news last night (I'm in OR) and the report said that alcohol was NOT involved.

/I said, Alcohol was not involved, but stupidity was
//Grandma laughed

THE MACHINE KNOWS WHERE IT'S GOING

FTFT "I don't know why they wouldn't question driving into a puddle that doesn't seem to end," Keenan said.

Duh, Because they're women!!

ecmoRandomNumbers: It's an SUV. It can take it. It's only a puddle, for heaven's sake.

Unless the "puddle" is actually the beginning of a boat ramp, which you KEEP DRIVING THROUGH!

"Step right up and see the human stereotype ladies and gentlemen!"

More likely they're some type of geek that cannot function on their own.
Many of them out in that area.

My GPS once told me: "In 100 meters, go off road!"

/ Wait, what?

It was probably trying to direct you to some lost pirate treasure or something. You should have trusted it.

I cannot believe that people take the word of an electronic device even when common sense should be saying otherwise. There was a story a few years ago where a guy got his car stuck on a railroad track just because his GPS told him to turn there. People seem to be looking more and more for the path of least resistance and just letting something or someone else do their thinking for them, you see it at the ballot box for sure. But then again I guess I shouldn't be totally surprised, women are usually terrible with directions. Driven many a silent mile with an ex- girlfriend who was a terrible navigator after an argument ensued over her shiatty map reading skills.

/Don't put all your trust into a machine
//I'm sorry Dave I can't let you do that

THIS! The last season I remember watching just seemed to rehash the prior seasons, I lost interest quickly after that. I was tired of the whole Im a drunk, Im not a drunk trying to get back with mx ex but Im banging/not banging/banging my cousins widow. The Winters brothers were awesome in HBO's "OZ" as well. I was bummed when the chief killed himself, but the storyline with Lou and whore was pretty good. He got that biatch good

People can't be that dumb can they? I mean really, REALLY

It was a rental too... hope she got the insurance...

Mercedes minivan = twunts

nekom: SpaceyCat: GPSs are wonderful devices, however, even if they are updated constantly, they are not perfect. Brain must be engaged too!

Yep, your common sense must override it. "This looks like a river, but according to the GPS it's a road, so I'll go down it."

God forbid people like this ever go geocaching, they'd probably walk right off a cliff.

yeah i wonder how you take a turn, obviously having already noticed you're next to a big body of water, and you turn directly toward that big body of water, and rather than stopping before plunging in you keep on the accelerator and make a big splash

There are similar problems with relying on computers in general. Some of the new nurses/pas/docs never knew a world without computers. In many cases they rely too much on the computer to tell them what to do, when they should be relying on training and experience instead.

I refuse to read the article, because I have a suspicion that it is full of (DERP) stupidity.

/Excuse me for derping, beer does that to me.

You're slipping, Fark.



(okay, so it's not GPS, it's Google Maps. Close enough.)




/all hot like a GPS on fire

MythDragon: Sometimes you just need to use some common sense.

Driver was Sarah Palin (Parah Sailin'), Snooki and Britney were the passengers...

Y'know, maybe we should encourage stupid people to go geocaching. . .and skydiving, and other dangerous hobbies.

I was driving on a 6-lane road extension once that had just opened the day before, and my GPS kept saying "Please return to paved surface..."

/made me wonder what happens when they close a road or a bridge collapses.
//"No Rusty, when there's a bridge out, they put up BIG signs. Like that one..."
