24HBD #4: Methods of Destroying Traffic

Before we can properly delve into the topic of “methods of destroying traffic”, we must first consider what it means to “destroy” traffic.  Premature to even that, we must look at what traffic itself refers to. 

Traffic could mean any of the following:

• Dozens, even hundreds of cars gridlocked during rush hour
• Or, simply, cars of any number driving on the road
• The 60s English rock band Traffic
• The 2000 movie Traffic starring Benicio Del Toro

In the interest of saving lives, I have decided to consider the ways we can destroy the 2000 movie Traffic starring Benicio Del Toro.  More specifically, since this movie came out in the year 2000 (the year 2000), I have decided to consider the ways we can destroy the VHS of the 2000 movie Traffic starring Benicio Del Toro.

Once we decide that what we are in fact “destroying” is merely a VHS tape, the methodology of such an action becomes rather clear.  We have a variety of choices to consider:

• stamping, smashing, or otherwise bludgeoning the tape into nonexistence
• casting a magic spell to transport the tape into the heart of a volcano
• setting paper clips on the tape, one by one, until the eventual increase in weight crushes the tape outright
• giving the tape as a present to an infant human child, who will inevitably try to eat it
• giving the tape as a present to an infant wolf pup, who will inevitably try to eat it
• setting the tape on some railroad tracks, and waiting for a train
• going bungee jumping with the tape, and forgetting to strap it down
• going skydiving with the tape, and forgetting to strap it down
• fire

In any case, destroying a VHS copy of the 2000 movie Traffic starring Benicio Del Toro is a seemingly easy feat.
