Don't Drink and Drive

Yesterday I was driving back on Huah's Kelisa. I reached the Lobak-SMK Puteri junction, and turned right, into a one way street. A motorist on my right suddenly swerved left... I braked immediately. HE ALMOST HIT MY GF's CAR! That idiot! What was he doing??!?! I'd never stared at another motorist for that long in my life... He looked blur, my GF said that he might had been drunken... Plus, he did not even apologize in any manner. IDIOT! That's why our roads are littered with bodies!

Speaking of alcohol, the only good I know about this compound is its antiseptic/disinfectant use. I still cannot figure out why people like getting drunk and behaving like idiots. Just for that few moments, he might be feeling as if he's in heaven, but to me he's just a dumbass who doesn't know how to control himself... Some even pose danger to the public, like the previous case above. There are so many cases of husbands beating up wives, drunken. There are even more cases of assault, drunken again! Why the heck do people still get drunken? Maybe they want to be some kind of unofficial, daily drunken master... Stupid!

There was a commercial on the radio, 'Don't drive after enjoying your drink. You might end up having an accident and miss the world cup finals.' Well... This commercial certainly uses the advantage of the current world cup to remind people not to drink and drive, kudos to the people that thought about the idea.

This makes me wondering again. Are they making advantage of the world cup? Or is the current 'Don't drink and drive, you might lose your loved ones' campaign not quite effective? They had to resort to some football instead of reminding people of their loved ones to persuade people not to drink? No offense to the inventor, he certainly had noble ideas, serving the community. But isn't the community a little bit off the limits? They put football/the world cup, above their families/spouses/kids??? If the current 'family' campaign is running well enough, the radio station doesn't really have to make use of the world cup, they will just mention, 'Love your family, don't drink and drive.' Instead...

There are so much an evidence that the public loves football more than their family. What's wrong with people nowadays?

They should refer the term, 'loved-ones' to football.
