Scared Women Seek Security From an Inflatable Man
How on earth have we as a species survived this long when there are people this stupid...
"Buddy on Demand" is a blow-up man designed to make women driving alone feel more safe. Pull him out of your glove box, flip the switch, and women can now "feel" safer when driving alone. I put "feel" in quotes there to make a point I will get to in just a moment.
From the story:
"According to research by the inflatable friend's creator, insurer Sheilas' Wheels, 82 percent of women feel safer with someone sitting in the car beside them and nearly a half don't like driving alone in the dark."
82% Of women "feel" safer when someone else is in the car with them. Hmm, could that be because when you have a real person in the car with you, you are actually safer? Safety in numbers? Ever heard of it?
I'm sorry, but feeling safe and being safe are two completely different things. I just don't see how any semi-intelligent human being can even "feel" safer when they have an inflatable man sitting next to them in the car, while driving down a scary urban street in the middle of the night. See, I don't want my wife to just "feel" safe, I want her to be safe. Big difference.
I don't want Mother Goose to have a false sense of security if she's driving home late at night. I want her to have a real sense of security. What good does "Buddy on Demand" do you when a very bad man with a gun approaches your car at a stop light in the middle of the night? Not much. Because the very bad man with the gun is not going to be afraid of your inflatable Buddy.
Do you want your women to be safe? Buy them a gun and teach them to use it. Teach her some useful self defense techniques. By her a can of pepper spray. This passive aggressive approach to make us "feel" safe when were not, is really quite dangerous. Kind of like that idiot Billy Banks and his Tae Bo videos. I've watched those commercials and heard the testimonials from women who say "because of Tae Bo, I feel safe walking down the street."
You may feel safe lady, but doing an aerobic exercise where you throw punches doesn't qualify you as being able to actually throw a punch when you need to. Sure, you feel safer, but are you? I don't think so.
I'm telling you what people, we as a people had better stop focusing so much on our feelings and concentrate more on reality. This pop-psyche culture we've slipped into where everyone has a therapist and is getting in touch with their feelings is making us a nation of wussies. Forget feelings. Focus on reality.

I can see it now..."Buddy this man is attacking me, help! help!" and when he sits there with his blank stare, they'll sue the company who made him, "YOU SAID I'D BE SAFER!!!!"
Good Greif...
