Mind out of the gutter you guys! I know what you're thinking! This is a "safety story".
Are you a woman going solo? Try a blow-up man
LONDON (Reuters) - He fits in a car's glove box, appears at a flick of a switch and when a woman has finished using him, she can just pull the plug and he deflates.
He's the "Buddy on Demand," a blow-up man launched on Tuesday with the aim of making solo female motorists feel less nervous about driving at night.
According to research by the inflatable friend's creator, insurer Sheilas' Wheels, 82 percent of women feel safer with someone sitting in the car beside them and nearly a half don't like driving alone in the dark.
"We're not saying that an inflatable man is the only answer but we do hope it will give women extra confidence and make journeys in the dark less fearful," said Jacky Brown, the spokeswoman for Sheilas' Wheels.
The article does not mention -- are these men anatomically correct? If so, they may replace men entirely! We MUST start a revolution before this thing becomes entirely out of hand! Women will stop having sex with men! Birth rates would decline! Human civilization would cease to exist!
Yes, and all in the name of safety!
