I’m good at dumb…uh, I mean, I’m good at spotting dumb. I have dumb-spotted traffic.com.

It may or may not be a good website for checking traffic conditions (it wouldn’t let me register). But what they are advertising on the radio is dumb — traffic updates sent to your cell phone with alternate route maps. So let me get this straight. I’m supposed to check my cell phone while I’m in stop-and-go-traffic for traffic reports and a map of where to go. Could I suggest that if I’m checking my cell phone for maps while I’m trying to get through Washington, DC traffic then I’m going to turn stop-and-go-traffic into stop-and-bump-traffic?

Traffic.com.dumb, that’s what that is.
