it is hard to rely on comedic appeal, for a somewhat random and unknown audience, to make up for a kind of sarcastic and mean set of writings, even if you'rr not being "serious".
but, we're also just getting some poe'd law in there. I think you'd get the point across better if, say, instead of just reccomending that everyone drives, you reccomended that everyone drove as large a car as possible in order to "beat everyone else" in a crash. even that might not be enough, though, I've definitely seen people who actually believe that.
I didn't expect anybody to believe that somebody would advocate in earnest that a bit of permanent brain damage isn't a big deal, but I guess there are such idiots. It's interesting to see that formulating the dumbest possible position is indiscernible from one side of a legitimate debate on the topic of road safety.
