Look what the Fourth Estate (the Media) did with the Swine Flu... On average 36,000 Americans die of the regular flu every year. The Swine flu , in the last year's count, killed 11,000. You'd never guess that given the treatment by the media would you?

Back to business. About that supposedly runaway Prius...
http://www.leftlanenews.com/video-to...on-claims.html
As I said when this "story" first broke, I believe it is most probably a hoax or a publicity stunt. The brakes on the Prius will easily overcome full throttle, just as they do on just about any car, and it is perfectly possible to shift the car into neutral while driving...

My Ride: 545i Sport Package, Black/Grey. Got it July 09.

The media's probably doing all this in an effort to help boost american car sales (or somebody's paying them to...). All of this drama seems forced, in that all of a sudden, there are 8 million cars recalled when there is only about 60 (? give or take) actual reports of unintended acceleration. I saw this Prius driver talking about his "experience" on the TV and it did not look like he was even a little shaken by the experience. Probably just wanted to avoid a speeding ticket, as mentioned before.
That video is just some more evidence that something is up.

New World Order is rigging Priuses to kill off all the environmentalists so that they can build a nuclear plant on every city block and make diesels "dirty" again

All IMHO of course
I was watching this Democratic propaganda yesterday - Right America Feeling Wronged... you should hear some of the shit these guys caught on tape... I mean, I don't personally like Democrats any more than Republicans (not any more, anyway), nor am I an avid Obama supporter or a health care reform freak, but daaaaaym! There are so many people out there who are just... I don't even know. The world I live in does not even have a word for this level of ignorance. In the meantime, these are the people, by who's majority our country is run. And we're worried about some douchebag in a Prius?! Please! Who gives a shit! When Explorers were exploding... argh, who cares... fuck this shit :thumbsdown:
