  I laughed my head off.

  Well, a quick search for “bus rage”, as well as a quick ride on any public transit system would clearly prove that yes, there is such a thing, and there has been since time immemorial.

  The ad may be ironic now, but it was always stupid.

  Let’s not lose our heads over this one.

  What’s the next tagline?

  Greyhound Quicklink: If you love that new upholstery smell…Go Greyhound

  How about

  Greyhound Quicklink: Come aboard to meet new interesting people; stay for ther arterial bloodspray…Go Greyhound

  Is that a hunting knife in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

  who among us has never mentally pulled out our buck knife and beheaded the fat fuck snoring into his pringles can?

• 7 coasterboy // Aug 4, 2008 at 11:35 am

  HEY! Lets lay off the fat bashing. Some of my best friends are. Ok, so am I. But I’ve never snored into a Pringles can.

  I was in a 12-step room with a wacko once. He was blathering on and on, and then blurted out that he really hated fat people. He wanted to kill them all. He admitted to carrying a knife in his backpack, so that if one of them touched him, he could “defend himself”. The room slowly emptied out….

  No bus rage? I did 25 years working for an East Coast transit system and I can assure you that it most certainly exists. Usually it is perpetrated by drivers on surly passengers!

  Two young women take a Greyhound Bus tour across America. Includes a love story and a great song at the end - the whole bus breaks into song.

  Baaaaaaad timing.

  Ooh, real live catastrophic ad failure.

  Well, hey, looks like us Canucks just needed to do some catching-up in the whole Random Grisly Killing, Decapitation & Cannibalism sweepstakes. Sorry about that, eh?

  So which one of you called him “Francis?”

• 15 socalfrank // Aug 5, 2008 at 12:08 pm

  Avoid road rage, and get your daily supply of crack or meth at the same time. What a winning combination!

• 16 JohnnyBoy // Aug 5, 2008 at 1:23 pm

  The heads on the bus they roll around, roll around, roll around…..

  “Greyhound has scrambled since the incident to remove advertising billboards promoting the relaxation of bus travel. The ads carried the slogan, “There’s a reason you’ve never heard of bus rage.’”

  sorry everyone, this is the hyperlink I meant in last post. I blame Drew carey and Katie Couric myself. They are just trying to get people attentions away from Les moonbeams mistakes. Sort of like big brother 15 or whatever its number.

  I hope Greyhound doesn’t let this go to their heads.

• 21 obscenemom // Aug 5, 2008 at 9:41 pm

  The head on the bus goes round and round, round and round!

  All through the town!

  Actually I am a victim of head Bus Rage.
  Its a long story of why I was on Greyhound
  Despite the posted signs some a-hole kept smoking in the head on the bus back from Vegas. I had run out of Paxil. The situation got ugly. The busdriver flagged down a Cop and we got kicked off the Bus.
  Falls under the catagory of “I HATE PEOPLE”

• 23 TW // Aug 6, 2008 at 2:32 pm

  If you read any of the articles on the murder, the police commend the other passengers and the driver for their “bravery”. Hmm, they ran for their lives while the poor guy was hacked to death and eaten. “Bravery”? I don’t think so.

• 24 TW // Aug 6, 2008 at 2:33 pm

  Don’t get me wrong…I don’t blame them and would have done the same thing but it’s certainly not brave.

• 25 pal Jacky // Aug 6, 2008 at 6:41 pm

  anyone who survives anything these days is considered brave. I for one would have ran as well but not for the same reasons. If I tried to stop him I might have had one of my bad thoughts. ‘it couldn’t really taste like chicken, just a little nibble, just to be sure…”

• 26 JohnnyBoy // Aug 6, 2008 at 7:55 pm

  My cousin’s grandmother was on the Andrea Doria….not the time it sank though.

  Does that count?

• 27 TW // Aug 7, 2008 at 5:08 pm

  What were they serving for dinner on the Andrea Doria?

• 28 pal Jacky // Aug 7, 2008 at 7:14 pm

  It counts only if she was gobbling on the other passengers

  Meat, exciting and new
  Come Aboard. We’re expecting you.
  Blood, life’s sweetest reward.
  Let it flow, it floats back to you.

  Blood Boat soon will be making another run
  The Blood Boat promises something for everyone
  Set a course for adventure,
  Your mind on a new taste treat

  One slash then won’t hurt anymore
  It’s an open smile on a bloody shore.
  Yes Bloooooooooooooood
  It’s Blooooooooooooood ! (hey-ah!)
