J.G. Ballard's "Crash" comes to mind too. I feel my faith in humanity fucking *DIE* when I read comments like the blatant expression of intent to rape. Would that we had means and guts to trace such cretins for holding them accountable? I'd certainly hold such a statement as anything but protected speech! Arguably- it's proof of a sociopath level malfunction. The incivility alone would warrant comment moderation, if not perhaps a chat with psych investigators in the case of our declared wannabe rapist. Damn, an incident of someone having a bad driving day being used to justify criminal acts just- is sheer FAIL.
My consolation is hoping such commentators are too loathsome to breed.

Driving is sadly equated with sexuality in weird entanglements.
