retro caravan pic
how cool is this thing !?!?
can’t say that i would personally want one myself, strike a match and the whole thing would go up in flames (unless it has good old asbestos walls).
ah, grey nomads and the caravan life.
it made me think of the famous case in usa of someone called grazinski. this person was allegedly driving their winnebago somewhere in the us, set it on cruise control (thinking it was an auto-pilot system), then went into the back to make a cup of coffee. the campervan crashed and they sued, winning a stupid amount of money.
here is the myth-buster version. it has also shed some light and background story on the woman who won crazy money from macca’s for spilling hot coffee on herself. well worth a little read.
why do people believe these internet myths? well i guess it reflects on the seemingly growing legal and social phenomenon of diminsihed personal responisbility.
“i was smashed off my head and walked in the path of a fast-moving car. council hadn’t erected barriers, flashing lights, alarms and an armed guard. it’s their fault i got hit.”
no it isn’t, fool. it’s YOUR fault.
people also believe these myths because both people inside the usa and people outside the usa really believe that americans are dumb enough to do such things.
i really don’t want to be rude, but perhaps the usa should start thinking about fighting social injustice and inequality at home before they start taking the fight overseas. it would certainly help the image of the nation abroad. i’m sure it would prove a bit less expensive as well – thanks bush, rumsfeld, cheney and all your mates in the companies that you represent. thanks to for the corner-cutting that led to the bp oil spill in the gulf of mexico.
great work guys, you’ve done a fine job of representing the best interests of your nation – NOT!

you had the rug pulled out from beneath you in that election. at least some of you tried…. it’s a shame mike moore did so much shit-stirring to get biden elected. if it wasn’t for moore, the democrats may has scraped through. just my opinion…
