While filling up at the pump, I was watching some interview with an actress that was pretty boring. Then, I had an epiphany. Rather than watch some blah actress talk about her character on a new show that's on a network nobody's going to watch, why not get some good use out of it and make sure EVERYONE is going to watch it.

Why not put the faces of missing children on there. Not only their picture but info about who may have taken them, their picture and whatever make and model of car they were driving. All the pertinent information someone would need.

I can guarantee that at some point, if they were taken by someone in a car, they're going to show up at a gas station at some point. Maybe it will happen to be at that same moment someone is pumping gas. Maybe another idea would be to beam the state wide Amber Alerts directly to the pump TV's.

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, nearly 800,000 children are reported missing every year. 203,000 children are kidnapped by family members each year. If it helps just one child, it's done its job, no?

I gotta believe that it would certainly draw more interest than some of the other crap about the Kardashians.

Just a thought.
