so gm recalled some cars at the beginning of the year because they had to remix... their ignition(s). apparently, the ignition switches to several gm model cars have a tendency to randomely deactivate, causing the ignition to die. which is wonderful if you're in an intersection at the time because then its like "TOOT TOOT, BEEP BEEP *ive been ejected through the windshield in a head-on collision*" apparently they knew about the underlying fault that led to this issue in development but decided not to fix it because it was too costly. gm says they didnt know about the fault until right before it got announced to the world -- not by GM, but by some lawyer suing them on behalf of some lady who got injured because of a faulty ignition (no doubt hot and fresh out of GM's kitchen) GM CEO Mary "rollin' that" Barra today announced the results of GM's internal investigation, which was apparently that they... didnt do anything wrong (other than the undisputable, which they're solving by firing some dudes for incompetence). whatchall think? do you buy it? and am i the only one who, whenever this comes back into the news cycle, cant get r kelly's 2003 jam "ignition" out of his head?
A few points, Maik 1) Irony doesn't begin to cover the scenario whereby R Kelly likely wrote the song Ignition about a girl who wasn't old enough to drive 2) If the ignition switch deactivates, the ignition wouldn't die, the engine would. 3) Serves anyone right for buying a GM car.
1.) i love r kelly so much 2.) yeah, that was a typo. i meant to type "engine" 3.) yeah i almost made a "lol if you own an american car" joke too but then i remembered i currently drive a buick (****) and then i remembered the toyota recall last year and decided that all car companies are probably competing to see who can come up with the most creative ways to kill us
"excuse me, mr kelly, im still slightly confused about the timeline... if you wouldn't mind walking me through it one more time?" [no problem] "so after the show..." [uh huh] "you would typically have an afterparty..." "and after the party... you would adjourn to the lobby of the hotel..." [the hotel lobby. yes, that is correct] "but around about 3-" [4] "4! right. my mistake" [s'ok] "about 4 you would be required to clear the lobby" [yes, that is generally the case, i have found] "uh-huh... so at that point..." [at that point what you would typically do is you would *expletive deleted* somebody] "i see. thank you" [you're welcome. i am glad to be of assistance]
