Because, if you do — even if you’re way the hell out in Inner Mongolia – it’ll get on the Web.

A woman in Hohhot, the capital of north China’s Inner Mongolia region, crashed her car while giving her dog a driving lesson, the official Xinhua News Agency said Monday.
No injuries were reported although both vehicles were slightly damaged, it said.

The woman, identified only be her surname, Li, said her dog “was fond of crouching on the steering wheel and often watched her drive,” according to Xinhua.

I mean, if she had done this fifteen years ago, before this whole Interweb thing got out of control, only her friends and family would have been able to make fun of her. And maybe people in the next town. And in Outer Mongolia. Maybe Tibet. But that would have been it. The worst thing about the Internet (if you’re the kind of person that makes mistakes) is that the stupidest things you say and do are not only preserved forever, but can be transmitted worldwide at a moment’s notice.
