The horror! The horror!


Mickey Kaus examines the possibility of Prius ringtones.

If the government requires that Toyota Priuses and other quiet electric vehicles make a noise to warn pedestrians to get out of the way, won't that create a lucrative market for Prius ringtones?
And what kind of noise would be a) distinctive enough to identify the presence of a car, yet b) quiet enough to make a crowd of Priuses tolerable--yet c) not drive Prius owners insane? Get Brian Eno on the case right now. [link in original - o.g.]

OT- Hey Mickey, do you supposed you could talk Slate into giving you the budget for some permalinks?
