Over at the Fighting Liberals

lauren wants to know which voice you favor -- HAL or the KIT voice from Knight Rider -- now that Ford is unveiling an app that will read your Twitter feed to you as you drive.

I say, screw 'em both.

If my chariot can't feed my vehicular ADD with Kevin Smith butt sex updates, Shit My Dad Says and up-to-the-minute urgent kitteh news in the Voice of World Control

then I say why bother?

Kevin Smith is the first non-spammer twit I unfollowed for content. Who the hell needs to know how and how often he butt plays his WIFE?

Shit my dad says is da bomb. The absolute bomb.

And if you listen to those tweets in the car I can promise you a totaled vehicle and a trip to the ER. Do not operate large machinery warnings definitely apply.

The absolute last thing I want is a car that talks to me,...in 147 character sound bites or any other way. I remember riding in a Chrysler in the early 80's and it talked things like your door is not shut, or you're running low on fuel, etc., God it was annoying. I couldn't get out of that vehicle soon enough. The first thing I do with a vehicle is disconnect the noise makers.

KIT always made me feel uncomfortable. I always thought it was going to snap. "Michael, what cologne are you wearing? Jeeze, save some for tomorrow. And either those shoes go, or I do. Bitch, really..."

Regards,

I don't have a car, but if I did, I'd go for Davros' voice.
