I saw the most horrific thing in a parking lot this afternoon.

It was an IKEA delivery truck--small as far as those things go, more like the size of a U-Haul truck--and one entire side of the trailer was a huge flatscreen TV screen, looping an IKEA infomercial, including loud audio. Holy fucking road hazard, Batman.

Now, it was idling, and I came in and left again before it moved, so maybe, just maybe, this video does not actually play while the truck is driving down the highway. But I'm inclined to think it does, because one of the sound effects in the infomercial was a very startling truck horn honking. It actually honks at you to make sure you're watching the 10-foot-tall television instead of driving.
