"Faster than a cheetah driving a bullet train"

This is a billboard near my house that I see from the highway all the time. It's for a phone company, and is meant to show how fast their internet connection blazes along, but the tagline drives me nuts. "Faster than a cheetah driving a bullet train?" That's just so dumb. How about "Faster than a snail driving a bullet train?" Or "Faster than a pound of feathers driving a bullet train?"

You get the point. Now if only the lazy copywriters could get it.
