Calling all Cars

On Friday night Donna and I were watching some news coverage of the two college girls murdered last week. Very sad, to be sure. But as we were watching, the crawler at the bottom of the screen flashed the following item:

"Anyone who sees a Honda Civic should call police immediately."

Anyone? I think this particular cable outlet broadcasts to about 50 million people worldwide, and Honda has sold about 100 billion Civics in the past 20 years, so this call to action seems a little alarmist to me. I could have walked out into the parking lot of the pizza place we were at in Round Rock, Texas, and read the license numbers of seven Civics.

Not sure any of them had any bearing on the events in Chapel Hill or Auburn.
