In which I pit the fucker with the huge LCD screen

Alll the time, man!

Nor have I defended an office building from vaguely European terrorists, rescued magical religious artifacts from the Nazis, or hunted a giant shark off the coast of New England. What’s your point?

Oh, fuck. I give up. When you hit me with such a logical argument I must bow to your wisdom. Sorry that I mistook your clowning around for actually having a valid opinion.

Miller - Sorry to disagree with you but more than a few times I had to tell my kids to turn off the video because some dumbshit was in the passing lane of the highway, matching my speed and watching the movie being shown in my van. During the daytime it wasn’t so bad, but right at dusk I could almost be assured that I would suddenly get a “buddy” on the highway. Granted none of these people caused an accident, but then, I didn’t continue to provide them with the opportunity to watch my TV for very long.

And It’s my opinion that the only threesome Ilsa’s been involved in has been with himself and his left and right hands.

I can vouch that those screens are visible from other cars because Gunslinger and I saw one a few nights ago. We first noticed it when we were stuck behind the big SUV that had it, at a red light, but we could continue to see the bright colors and motion even after we’d started rolling again. We couldn’t tell what exact film it was showing, but we COULD tell what TYPE of film was on - it was an animated children’s show, and a cheap one at that - the animation was pretty crappy, definitely not a Disney flick. If it had been porn, we would have been able to tell that, too. And I don’t think you should be watching porn while you drive, anyway, even if there aren’t small children in the cars around you. Porn is made to watch for sexual pleasure, and there should not be sex in a moving vehicle even if the driver isn’t involved.

Well this is a bizarre variant of the weekly tailgater thread.

I’ve run across this although not on the freeway but in heavy traffic. We were behind this moron moving slowly and stopping often through a nice traffic jam all the while the guy in front of us was watching porn on some video player hanging from his roof for all the world to see. And I’m sure that besides the cars to the left and right of me anyone walking down the sidewalk or waiting for the bus would have gotten an eyefull too.

Definately distasteful and highly inappropriate in my opinion. I would assume that’s it’s probably illegal too. Although I bet this is going to be more and more common. I expect to see, within the next few years, somebody sitting in a park and watching a porno on their laptop.

Clarification - I ended up behind him because I was at a red light. This happened on the south side of Chicago, near 55th and State. I could clearly see the screen through his tints because it was at night, and he obviously had the brightness way up. There was no one else in the truck - the screen damn near lit up the entire back seat/cargo area. It was mounted on the roof in front of the rear seats, but behind the front seats. The only he could see this screen was if it swivelled and he looked over his shoulder.
Ilsa, you can show porn to your kids all you want. I choose not to. Yes, it was fairly dumb to follow him - my daughter could’ve woken up. I gave in to anger. As far as calling the cops, I figured there’s got to be some kind of indecent exposure law prohibiting what he was doing. The operator didn’t seem to think I was a nutjob, she was fairly disgusted as well. I can’t imagine the cop who yanked him was too happy either.
Tailgating, huh? I don’t know about any of you, but at night, on a screen that size, I can spot two darkskinned people against a white background fucking from a pretty good distance. If anything, I might be understating the size of the screen. The damn thing was huge. Maybe just as wide as the dick the girl was cramming down her throat.
The guy was an ass for playing a porn movie on the road. Plain and simple. Just like he would been an ass for blasting his music too loud, or waving his dick out the window, or talking on his cell phone and weaving. I don’t bemoan some loss of innocence or some dumbass fear that I can’t take my daughter in public anymore. I don’t blame anybody else for what she’s exposed to.
But I would rather not have it be porn at the age of five.

I think MrMyth’s point (which I agree with) is that every driver on the road is responsible for what they do to contribute to the flow of traffic in general. Eating while driving, reading a map while driving, talking on a cell phone while driving, and watching porn while driving all have different effects… most of them detrimental. Watching porn, specifically, has the potential effect of not only distracting the driver watching, but also distracting other drivers, especially if done on a large screen. People like Ilsa_Lund may not agree, but even if one doesn’t like porn much, it’s a flashy distraction on the road at night, and it’s clearly unnecessary.

In short, I agree that it’s tacky, but more importantly, it’s extremely irresponsible of the driver to be showing porn on a big screen while driving.

I suspect he was just doing it for the “I can watch porn in my car, oh yeah” factor. I also expect that Ilsa is so offended because he was the driver in question. :wink:

resists temptation

I thought the cop was supposed to be preventing the indecent exposure…

Ilsa has a license!?:eek:

I didn’t know that he was old enough.

To everybody who is of the opinion that “porn’s no big deal,” I agree. However, there’s a time and a place for sexually-explicit materials, and it ISN’T in traffic where other people who might be offended can see.

I don’t even get how some of you think this is a shades-of-gray issue. This is black and white. Porn is for home, and places that cater to sexually-explicit materials. It’s not for driving around, possibly exposing it to people who don’t wish to be exposed.

How any of you can think to argue with the OPer is beyond me. Nobody’s saying, “Porn sucks! We should ban it!”
Get a grip.

You type well for someone engaged in a threesome with two bisexual nymphomaniacs with triple E breasts! :smiley:

So the OP doesn’t want his 5YO daughter seeing a blowjob. I don’t see what’s so strange about that.

Just what is your problem, Ilsa_Lund?

Fuck you. Search my name and “cutlass.”

I wouldn’t want my (hypothetical) five year old to see a blowjob either, but the age of consent is sixteen. I imagine a bit of hyperbole is at play, but parents who don’t want their kids to to know what oral sex is until they are sixteen are often parents of unwed teenage parents. That was what I took issue with.

I have never actually seen a strawman created in such a blatant fashion before. Congratulations!

Honestly. Are you going to say that very restrictive, overprotective and dictatorial parents don’t often foster the very behavior they are trying to avoid?

You think that trying to hide sex from a child until they are sixteen is a good idea? I conceded that hyperbole was probably at play.

So how does a father not wanting his five year old kid to see a blow job in a public place equate to prudish parents overprotecting a 16 year old?

I was mistaken. You’re not thinking with your dick. You don’t appear to be thinking at all.

Go ahead and dazzle me with your logic by publishing another “fuck you” in my direction.

Bubba

I wouldn’t be surprised if those pictures of Mars show Ilsa’s house, 'cause you just don’t live on this planet, son.

My kid’s five. She shouldn’t know what a blowjob is, let alone see one. How the fuck did you jump all the way to her being the town whore just because I wouldn’t let her see porn at five? What the hell went on at your house growing up?

Methinks since I debunked your tailgating theory, you have nothing else left to harp on.

This is my final post on the matter.

I’m honestly confused, here. Are you responding to any person in this thread? Or are you just pulling this “hide sex until sixteen” stuff out of the air? Maybe I’m just missing something in the thread.

I fail to see how not wanting to let a five-year-old watch porn on a public street equates to “very restrictive, overprotective and dictatorial parents.”

Frankly, I didn’t realize screens in vehicles could be as large as they apparently can. I thought they had to be fairly small, both to avoid distracting other drivers and to allow the driver to see behind his/her vehicle using the rearview mirror.
