Buddy On Demand!!!

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.

Funny thing was it was in the front page of the Daily News yesterday as well. Had a little graphic attached. Unless it's been introduced to SL as well, what's the use in putting it in the front page :( And I'm pretty sure this sort of thing will never make anyone in SL feel safer :action-smiley-060:
