There was a TN state senator (John Ford) who has had the cops called on him multiple times for allegedly waving pistols around at truckers, garbage men, etc. Every time it happened, he told police it was just his cellphone. I think this app is made for him.
I also think someone might get shot for pointing their iPhone at someone and yelling "GET SOME OF THIS!" and mimicking pulling the trigger.
He should win an acadamy award.. but he's one of those that think they can multi-task while driving.. On the phone and video-ing himself while driving.. Funny though
@Uncletwitch: Being stuck in traffic and driving are two different creatures. i can't take my shirt off while doing 75 on the GSP. I can do it while in Benny traffic on the GSP on Fridays, though.
For some reason I'm still shocked when anyone uses the N' word. I know the whole 'taking ownership of words causes them to lose their power argument. But still. It just seems totally excessive somehow. And a black man with a gun (app)? How more stereotypical can you get?
@jebus197: How is black man with a gun app stereotypical? I am pretty sure white man with a gun is the classic stereotype to most conquered races of the past, and of all rednecks of today.
@GitEmSteveDave_RunsFromBestBuy: I really mean the English (Africa, India, Americas), the Spanish (Americas, Philippines), the French (Americas, Africa, Southeast Asia), the Dutch (Africa) and the Portuguese (Americas, Africa) just to name but a few. They were all basically Caucasian. Not to say that they are to blame for the world's problems, just to say as far as stereotypically gun-toting, the white race is top of the list.
@CaptainHoratioMcCallister: Tell that to the Chinese and Koreans after dealing with the Japanese. The Dutch only dealt with a very small part of Africa. A vast majoprity of violence in Africa is commited by Africans. A vast majority of violence in Europe is caused by Europeans, and a vast majority of violence in Asia is caused by Asians.
Oh damn, I think i may have just stumbled on a trend that has less to do with racial propensity, and more to do with proximity...
@headc4se: Just pointing out that being violent and oppressive is not a "white" thing. It's been done by every race to every other race on every continent through every era of history.
@closhedbb: You really need to read someone's comment properly. I said gun-toting, because when the Americas were conquered, the French, Spanish, and English all had guns, while the native population didn't. As was the same in Africa. This was also true as you pointed out when the Japanese invaded China, but to a much lesser extent. Wow you completely missed my point. p.s. The Dutch had a considerable stake in Africa.
@GitEmSteveDave_RunsFromBestBuy: He was African, and he dismissed firearms as ineffective. Mind you my earlier statement was simply a generalisation, nothing more.
At least he has AC. I couldn't do this in my car as everyone would hear me with the windows down. That's why when I used to get stuck in traffic, I carried a bullhorn around with me , and I would either yell at people or sing songs through it. Nothing tops the looks you get when belting out "What's Going On" by 4-Non Blondes.
@GitEmSteveDave_RunsFromBestBuy: Where were you on Sunday when we were stuck in traffic on the GSP, coming back from Pt. Pleasant? That would've made the commute at least semi-enjoyable, depending on your singing skills.
