Segways? Really?

I've been streaming America's Next Top Model off of Sidereel - a show that began with the trashiest intentions but has since been eclipsed by plastic surgery, Paris Hilton and the Playboy mansion. Yesterday I was upset to see the girls travel through Rome via Segway. I'm sure none of these beautiful morons can operate a whopping 200cc Vespa, but if I wanted to see hot people mimic Steve Wozniak I'd hangout at Stanford. Does no one realize that Segways don't really add to the old-world mystique of Italy's (often cobblestone) streets?

I just found this project about some guys traveling through the US via Segway. I can just imagine Nebraska and the football team switching from mailbox baseball to Seqway clothesline.
