If you go <a href="http://www.drudgereport.com">here</a> often or you listen to Matt Drudge on the radio, then you have heard about the new invention that will replace (laugh now) the car!
But, according to the description that Drudge gave, this Segway, as it has been named by its inventor, sounds like those little rascals that old people scurry around in in the supermarket.
Maybe I'm wrong, but a lawnmower sized, 60 something pound, 17 MPH vehicle hardly sounds like the mysterious GINGER or IT I had heard about all over the net two years ago.

"It" is from a recent South Park, it was a Mr. Garrison's invention.

No, no, NO! "II" is a two-wheeled one passenger vehicle that was just shown on Good Morning America today. It's a piece of crap! It looks like it's for kids, but the creator (who looks like a mad scientist) says that he's selling it to tons of institutuions. But who in their right minds would drive down the street in a contraption that looks like half a chariot with handle bars?
It looks like you could use to create some kind of sport, fool.

Yeah he says for you to move you need to "think" to go forward or backwards and it will do it!
Damn he's a nutjob!

YEA, there is NO CHANCE IN HELL of this thing ever catching on. What happens when its freezig outside? When you are in a car you can turn on the heat and warm up, it doesnt look like this machine has a heater. Plus, what was it's top speed 17mph?? Yea, now roadtrips will only take 45 days. This thing sucks ass!
IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME-AHHH!

Its not intended to be used as a long distance vehicle, its meant to one day replace cars in urban areas where cars dont work (gridlock >too much traffic) imagine if there were no cars in Manhatan & everyone flew around on one of those things.you could probably get all the way from uptown to downtown in less then 20 mins. now no one would have a problem with that......i think

OH MAN!! I JUST SAW THAT THING ON CNN! They were promoting it as the best invention sice the WHEEL! The news lady was struggling to stay on the damn thing. NYC will never allow them, remember the motorscooters? Yeah, they caught on real fast. RRRRRRRIGHT.

it would be cool if you made the base of it longer, added an axle and two more wheels and a roof over- now, wait, then that would be a CAR!
The government gave this douche millions to come up with "IT" and it turns out to be a dumb fad toy! The guy thinks that everyone will use it for any type of transportation, when all it's good for is kids who don't have a license!
I was waiting for this "it" and I thought it was time travel or a method to turn water into fuel, but this fag comes up with a MOTORIZED TWO-WHEEL SCOOTER!
I'm so PISSED!

Holy Shit! I just saw one of those things on the news!
Who would buy that? Jesus, you could just go buy a razor scooter for like, 30 bucks, at Toys R' Us. You might still look like a retard, but it'd cost you 100 times less.
As for "inventions of the future", I'm still waiting on that skycar.

No, actually it can go a top speed of- 17 -Miles Per hour! Wow! Amazing. I think a razor rollerboard scooter tricked out with an engine would make more sense.
And, just to give it a name, it is called a Segway. What a dumb name for anything! Who the hell wants to hop on a Segway?

I was watching the news again and they said that the inventor is working out a deal with the post office. Looks like in a couple of years our mail men will be riding those.

what about when it's windy and you go on a bridge. those winds really move your car when your on top of a bridge and also on the turnpike.
what about trucks... how will they see you?
and night time dose this thing have head lights ? they must be preeeeeety small what the hell at you gonna be able to see with two flashlights? and if it dose have headlight I guess you reallly will have to carry a flashlight while driving... isn't that dangerous?
now I also know all my friends like hooking up their rides.... do they sell rhimes for these? if so what size cause 20's would look wierd on it. would you drop it? where would you put the turbo? intercooler? intake?
WHAT ABOUT THE LISCENE PLATE? do you need a liscence for this?

Never underestimate the world's love of laziness.
Examples:
escalators
universal remote controls
the clapper
wine in boxes
and my favorite...
the assembly-line belt that moves you through the airport after you've sat motionless on an airplane for twelve hours.
This thing is gold.
