iPhone + Car + Heads Up Display = Idiot

Most of us are guilty of checking email on the iPhone while at a stoplight. Is it safe? Probably not, but we're pretty sure it safer than watching a movie while driving.
YouTube user, jiggymatt seems to have decided that flying down the road in a two-ton hunk of steel wasn't exciting enough for him. To help pass the time while he puts the rest of the drivers on the road at risk, he fashioned a "heads-up display" for his iPhone.
Check out the video and breath a sigh of relief as he informs us that he only wears one earpiece, "so I can hear the traffic and what not." Hopefully, he doesn't watch Annie Hall next time he's on his way to pick up some milk.
Does anyone recognize the show this genius is watching while he plows down pedestrians?

And California thinks that it is the silent Priuses that are killing people...

Now when I look over at the lady who just made me cut a loaf in my shorts, I can see that besides makeup, coffee, cigarette in hand the real reason she is distracted is video on the windshield.
They walk among us.

Not really on topic, but I love the "WTF" tag assigned to the article. Too bad not more articles are tagged with "WTF".

Wow.... So we should all start doing this? Just because multi-tasking is just that great.
Yeah, lets not and say we don't. Ok?
Ok!
What are you busy-bodies complaining about?

If I had that setup, I'd be high out of my mind, goin' down the road at about 90mph, watchin' pornographic movies while having phone sex with one of my lady-friends.
Hey, at least I'd be having that phone sex via my hands-free, bluetooth headset, as per California law.

Hope it goes well with my new Nissan parts because customizing my car is one my main goals so... hope it really works as it should.
