Use Your Head

If I see one more movie or television show where Our Hero rides off on a motorbike sans head gear, I'll blow a hissy fit.

When I made Graham Greene's proverbial trip from "the saddle to the ground," the only thing that kept me from meeting my maker was that helmet. Something about colliding with moving vehicles on a bike at 40 km-per-hour will do that to you, let alone at the bitching cool 80 klicks-per they're doing in the flicks.

How about just once we show responsibility as being cool, not just go for the pansy-ass artsy thing of a pretty boy's hair flickering in the wind as he careens down a seaside highway on a hog? Jesus Christ.
