Hitting Two Birds With One Flintstone

It has come to the attention of this organization, two major problems in our nation’s society. One of these, an issue contained almost exclusively to this nation – and could be greatly reduced by our proposal – is obesity. The second, yet no less important, issue is the pollution problem being faced world-wide. Thus the MRX corporation introduces our latest innovation: The Flintstone F-50.

The Flintstone F-50 is a light weight vehicle; The body of the vehicle consisting mainly of Carbon fiber and Aluminum. The vehicle is a hybrid, being 75 electric and 25 manually powered. Yes manually powered, as in Humans. This innovation has been made in order to promote better, healthier lifestyles for all Americans as well as lowering pollution levels. The younger generation especially will be enthused by these vehicles, thus making their bodies toned and fit: The more fit your body, the stronger your power and stamina. The stronger your power and stamina, the faster your vehicle will go. Through this method of manually powered vehicles, people will burn calories, instead of our precious – and rapidly disappearing – fossil fuels. By not burning fossil fuels, we conserve the ozone and create a healthier, more natural environment.

If the Flintstone F-50 were to be adopted, the level of traffic incidents would surely go down. Most American citizens lack the build or muscling necessary to reach very high speeds in the Flintstone F-50 and would have to spend the majority of their driving experience focused on just that – driving. The mental awareness it takes to drive the Flintstone F-50 would leave no capacity for cell phones, portable televisions, or steak dinners to distract the driver from the task at hand.

As well, the driver would have to obey speed limitations, most drivers not being in good enough physical condition to power the vehicle. Hence the ‘backup driver’. In order to use the back-up driver, one would first have to achieve a speed of 6 MPH and sustain it for five minutes before the Driver would kick in. Once the back-up driver kicks in the vehicle will move at a steady 40 MPH that will last for a total of 20 minutes. If the vehicle slows below 40 MPH or the driver brakes, the back-up driver will automatically shut off, leaving the operator to their own devices.

Which brings us to our second issue: Obesity. Obesity is a serious ailment amongst our citizens. With junk food and unhealthy meals readily available, it is increasingly difficult to eat right. Of course, the logical thing to do would be exercise, but not everyone has time in their busy schedule to do so. Our product can help solve this problem. If people were forced to exercise just in order to get to the very offices that pay the salaries they need to buy all their precious pre-packaged products, obesity would not be such an overwhelming issue. The Flintstone F-50’s innovative design will help the purchaser stay fit by engaging them in total body exercise just through the process of driving.

As you can see, the Flintstone F-50 would make a great solution to two of our nation’s most serious problems. It would reduce pollution levels, giving us more fresh air and water, as well as creating an overall healthier environment for everyone. Obesity would also go down, citizens having to exercise in order to earn their bread. You could say we’re really hitting two birds with one flintstone.
