American Automobile Association head A.J. Bonneville reacted swiftly to news that the Society To Prevent Death is campaigning for mandatory helmet laws for all occupants of vehicles.
"The STPD campaign is just plain stupid," Bonneville told a hastily convened news conference, "as an American I find this a gross violation of my personal liberties."
Bonneville went on to say that America was built on a foundation of fast cars and fun, and compared the STPD campaign to recent attempts to have the Lord's Prayer eliminated from schools.
Bertha Howitzer, spokeswoman for the NRA, was even more outspoken. Addressing reporters at a gun show in Spokane Washington, Howitzer accused STPD of using safety issues as the thin edge of the wedge in an eventual attempt to seize firearms from law-abiding Americans.
When contacted by reporters Abe Foxman of the ADL said that while he hasn't studied the details of the STPD campaign it was safe to say that it "reeked of anti-semitism."
