Angry Expensive pile up -- WTF kinda article is this!

While browsing yahoo news articles i came across this one about a crash that involved a Bentley, an Aston Martin, a Ferrari, a Mercedes and a Porsche. Take a read, Million-Dollar Fender Bender - Yahoo! Autos

I like the head line...


Million-Dollar Fender Bender

A blonde woman driving a Bentley crashes into an Aston Martin, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Porsche. Insert punch line here.

^^^^WTH! This article just really pissed me off. I understand the situation & all but why is it necessary to point out that the girls were blonde. I don't understand that. Any hair colored person could have wrecked these cars! It happens all of the flipping time! This is just an article that is going off on blondes in a not so obvious way. I'm a natural blonde (the rarest hair color btw the last time i heard) & I would never do a stupid stunt like this. These are just some morons who don't know how to drive.



Sorry I think I'm done with my rant. Things like this just really boil my blood. I've never seen an article that said the hair color of someone

Look at the cars the blonde women can afford, it should be a compliment?

There are easy jokes, for races, hair colors, religions, etc. etc. You can't be hurt every time someone uses something in a stereotypical way.

At least they are visible in this, and it's not just a tinted window and the writer of the article is speculating it was a woman, because no way could a man do that.

If you really want to be offended you should see this article on Jalopnik.com.

I don't see the point in it either. I mean, the driver was obviously not paying attention, hence the crash, but what does her hair color have to do with that? It just shows the authors ignorance.

The article says 3 blondes but the woman in the backseat looks like a brunette. Seems like the author went out of her way to stereotype on this one...
