highway safety board argues against pillsbury-gm deal
milesovnews

gm has planned to replace their air bag systems with tubes of pillsbury doh. in an effort to meet sufficient demand and prevent thieves from stealing airbags off of their own car lots and selling them back to the co at higher prices.(this actually happened in detroit from what i heard, lol)

"its really quite simple," one spokesman was noted as saying. "the studies we bought and paid for surely support the fact that pillsbury doh is just as good as an airbag in low speed (0-2mph) head on collisions. the concept is further proof of our engineering prowess, we've reduced some of our glovebox capacity and installed 'easy bake' ovens. upon impact they quickly heat up to 400 degrees+ and the doh rises! we look for this cost cutting effort to add significantly to our bottom line", he wen't on to say. highway safety officials are skeptical and has delayed their approval based on the need for more data.
