| Drivers - are you a Honk Aholic? |
| |
| When self-expression has been reduced to 140 characters, the stray honk of a car horn can seem like just another form of reflex communication. And just like Twitter, honking can be annoying, mindless, a nuisance, and even illegal. An American company has launched a new ad campaign fashioned as a public service announcement against what they are calling "honkaholism". Stophonkaholism.com, describes honkaholism as "an epidemic that causes drivers to honk incessantly and often unnecessarily." Visitors to the site can take a test to see if they suffer from honkaholism, and stage a "honkervention" for those in denial. They can even order a Honk Suppressor which emits a dog-toy-like squeak to replace the blare of an overused horn. Though only available in America, the campaign has drawn over 60,000 requests for Honk Suppressors. Which begs the question, when is it appropriate to actually honk the horn? Should it be illegal to honk a horn to pick up a date or get the attention of a passing neighbour? What about to celebrate the win of your favourite football team? |
