Bus Rage

A follow-up to the widely reported stabbing and decapitation that occurred recently on a Greyhound bus. (Reported here by Chuck Aug 1.)

In one of those moments of perfect timing that only occur in a weird universe, Greyhound has decided to pull its ad campaign that sported the boastful tagline: "There's a reason you've never heard of 'BUS RAGE'", because unfortunately now everyone has heard of that phenomenon. (Thanks, Gary!)

The first time (and last time) I ever rode Greyhound, it was the most frightening experience of my life. It was during the pre-cell phone era. Otherwise, I would have called America's Most Wanted. "Hello? America's Most Wanted? I found them ALL!"
