"The driver was accused of breaking state laws prohibiting watching TV while driving, as well as another law making it illegal to exhibit sexually explicit material in a public place."
Since when is inside your car a public space? You're right, Loo, we're nuts.

While I agree that the article is a bit odd, I will add this to the mix:
I go to NYC each weekend. Two weekends ago the driver that picked me up had a computer on the front seat of the car. Whilst driving me to my destination, he proceeded to chat on his computer and watch a live webcam sex show. Needless to say, I was a bit skeeved out, and would have been more so were I female. Not sure that the guy should be arrested, because the car isn't a public place, but jeez, how about some basic decorum?

Well, it's illegal to watch t.v. while driving (as it should be), and it should be illegal to be on a computer as well. To me, that's a no brainer – they're concerned about cell phones, that ostensably you don't have to *look* at. Oy, I'd have gotten out and hitched!

Just out of curiosity, did you know the driver beforehand or were you hitching a ride?
Actually, it was a car service that my old company used. I was still using them (until that incident) because they weren't that much more expensive than a taxi, and I didn't have to wait in the taxi line. So no, I didn't know the driver.

About three years ago on Thanksgiving night, I was driving to Nation for a show. At 9th and Constitution was a car at the light next to me, which had porn playing on the headrest monitors. What really struck me as odd, was there was no one in the backseat so I guess the guy was just listening to porn??

From the storu
"You're not allowed to have sex in your car, so why are you allowed to watch it?" Carlton asked.
Huh? Since when… Sounds like this lady's related to the women that get her silk knickers in a wad over Married with Childern…

I was crossing the key bridge once, and the car in front of was watching porn. Oddly enough it was a ghetto civic, so clearly there were some aftermarket alterations. But it bothered me, cause I was close enough to easily make out the action. What if i had a kid in the car? I mean, c'mon.

Isn't it ironic that doodles pretend to be all prudish and Victorian-like, when it's generally accepted that American women are the loosest slappers in the world. (Board members excepted of course)

it's straight men that are the most repressed, regardless of country of origin
