Every time I see one of these electronic license plate message devices, I instantly think of some road raged driver shooting or otherwise hunting down another driver.  Please folks, let's not encourage on-road hostility any more than what is already out there.  This belonged in that old SNL skit about "Bad Idea Jeans".  Another lawsuit waiting to happen.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 9th 2006 11:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Volkswagen crafts electrophoretic bumper sticker, road rage imminent]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/volkswagen-crafts-electrophoretic-bumper-sticker-road-rage-immi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/volkswagen-crafts-electrophoretic-bumper-sticker-road-rage-immi/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't really see how it attaches.  If can be just peeled off somehow, it would seem pretty easy to steal.<br><br>I really don't see this thing causing people to fly off the handle any more than a normal annoying bumper sticker.  How about people just calm the F down,  rather than society having to alter what it does to avoid risking "setting them off".<br><br>Either way, I won't be owning one of these.  Not a fan of bumper stickers in general.  I chose to spout off on here, rather than my bumper.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PDubNYC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 9th 2006 11:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Volkswagen crafts electrophoretic bumper sticker, road rage imminent]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/volkswagen-crafts-electrophoretic-bumper-sticker-road-rage-immi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/volkswagen-crafts-electrophoretic-bumper-sticker-road-rage-immi/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'd like to tell a driver to stop tailgaiting me, or to turn his brights off.

If he's picking someone up he uses it to yell at them to hurry up as they are walking to the car.  He used it to appoligize to the people waiting for a long time behind us at the drive thru ATM and sometimes he uses it to say stuff to people on the side of the road.  The look of confusion on people's faces is absolutley priceless.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dude]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 9th 2006 12:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Volkswagen crafts electrophoretic bumper sticker, road rage imminent]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/volkswagen-crafts-electrophoretic-bumper-sticker-road-rage-immi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/volkswagen-crafts-electrophoretic-bumper-sticker-road-rage-immi/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've always wanted a LED display on the back of my car to tell retards here in Miami that the left lane isn't for going as slow as possible, as well as other rules that drivers here don't respect.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rafa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 9th 2006 11:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Volkswagen crafts electrophoretic bumper sticker, road rage imminent]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/volkswagen-crafts-electrophoretic-bumper-sticker-road-rage-immi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/09/volkswagen-crafts-electrophoretic-bumper-sticker-road-rage-immi/</guid><description><![CDATA[Folks used to do that during the mid-70s C.B.
