I know that billboards and many other things already distract drivers, but another distraction that encourages them to get too close to be safe seems plain idiotic.

I couldn't find one that isn't widescreen on Dell's, HP's or Asus' website. Even the old Asus EEE PC 701 (the model that arguably started it all) is widescreen.
