*boggle*

OK, so I've started listening to WFNX online at work (thanks again, tsuki_no_bara!) And they were just a minute ago running an ad for the OnStar system. As the ad progressed, it turns out that the call is to OnStar because a woman has *run her car into a house*. Yes, a house. A woman with her kids in the car has crashed into a house. And in the ad, the guy on the phone from OnStar treats it like this happens every day.

Is it just me that finds this odd?

the onstar ads are pretty weird...

where I grew up it's surprisingly common. As in, in twenty years it happened more than five times.

Did you grow up in that car-eating house the Daily Show did an interview with?

My in-laws' house in DC has been in two auto accidents. It all depends on how the streets are arranged, really. And there are a lot of careless drivers out there. (As I found out in today's rain and flooding in central NJ.)

no...that would be great though :)

Are you sure it wasn't intended to be silly? (I haven't heard it so I can't say.)

It was completely serious. That's what made me boggle.

Was it her own house? 'Cause that happened a lot where I grew up. People would somehow not notice that the garage door was down, & they'd drive right through it. I never got it, but some people are just dumb like that. For real, people, how can you not notice the garage door is down? It's big! And closed!

I live in New York. It wouldn't even make the news.
