Too Much, Magic Bus
“I don’t want to cause no fuss…”
The Chinese are smart. From the land that invented fireworks, the egg roll and lead-based children’s toys, comes the latest inspired idea: a nationwide “no car day.”
The idea is to reduce gridlock, encourage environmental health and promote obedience to state decrees.
After all, you can’t just have people driving whenever and wherever they feel like. It’s the first step toward anarchy and a total breakdown of the social fabric.
The government doesn’t want to get all crazy about it, though, so they’re holding the no-car day on Saturday.
It’s unclear what the punishment for driving a car will be but it will be somewhere between being monitored on Google and getting run over by a tank.
