Don't You Hate it When SUVs Kill People?
The AP Sure Does
By Warner Todd Huston November 19, 2007 - 11:55 ET

Here is the kind of lapse in logic that drives me crazy (no pun intended). The AP today has a story headline that just makes me cringe: "SUV plunges into canal, killing 7 people inside."

Now here is the problem, HOW did an SUV go about killing these poor people? Did it unpark itself, drive across town, slam open its doors and gobble up some folks waiting at a bus stop and then drive them into a canal?

Should we be wary of every SUV on the street for fear that it may kidnap us only to drive us off cliffs or into canals?

Or is it more likely, AP, that a driver was responsible for killing the passengers INSIDE the SUV?

Isn't it a tad more likely that the SUV did not kill anyone, but that the actions of the human at its wheel was the culprit?

Seriously though -- the media sure hates SUV's, don't they? And they want to be sure you're brainless, twitching ass does as well.
