Gotta feel bad for Mazda. Except, not really. It's crazy!

The Singapore-flagged cargo vessel Cougar Ace has tipped over off the coast of Alaska. All 23 crewmembers have been rescued. The same cannot be said, however, for the 4,700 Mazdas aboard the ill-fated 654-foot ship.

JAWESOME!

Its a good thing I got my Mazda3 before this tragedy. I hope none of the Mazda3 Speeds were on this ship...

This picture made me laugh but then I felt bad. It kind of reminded me of those waterhead babies whos heads are too big for their bodies causing them to tip over. I know I know, "What is that about?!?"

I don't know if it's actually a disease, it may be just a condition due to trauma, or birth defect. I don't know how else to describe it, though. Maybe "condition" is the right word.
