The Cars that Ate Paris?

Well it certainly smacks a lot of the '70s flick...

"The tiny Victorian town of Speed is being renamed SpeedKills today as part
of a unique road safety campaign."

 

Insanity of the highest order.

Next we'll have Microsoftville, MoreTaxesLand and YouAreAMoron.

yawn

 

....although there's this:

"...the town ... will revert to ... original name... in a month."

I'm not sure whether that's worse or better. They really just did this
to get on TV, didn't they?!

Some of these small towns get a bit inbred and the intelligence of the
inhabitants suffers.

 

One day when riding through a small country timber town, it reminded me of
the movie Deliverance.
No-one in the streets and inhabitants were spotted peering from behind the
curtains as we rode through.
On the way back, we decided to stop for a rest in the town and still there
were no signs of anyone daring to venture past the safety of their little
houses.
And, no, it wasn't Speed, it was at the other end of the state

 

Slow?

Even though we did travel slow into the town and stopped for a smoke, that
wasn't the name.
A little unbeknown place called Powelltown
