excessive dependence on your GPS systems can be injurious to your health.
"GPS almost did 'em in and GPS saved 'em. It will give you options to pick the shortest route. You certainly get the shortest route. But it may not be a safe route."

Aw, come on. Let's cut them some slack. People take leave of their common sense at times. It's easy to do this with a GPS because people would prefer that the machine navigate instead of referring to a paper map. Of course, excessive and blind reliance on machines against one's better instincts can have amusing effects occasionally. We already have a government "voted" to power by spurious Electronic Voting Machines in our country. Credulous
operation according to a machine's instructions can have a dangerously dumbing effect.
True, citizens of India who voted UPA to power deserve this...
Well, BJP is now a second congress.. trying to be more 'secular' than Kaangress and even supporting the killer Shibu Soren.
