I should think putting one of those on a helmet is about the single
best thing you can do to destroy the already debateable performance of
helmets.

Au contraire, I woulda thought that blinkenlights and attention-grabbing
silliness would enhance one's chances of survival, and probably offsets the
additional neck-snapping risk of the extra weight.

World Domination? Just find a world that's into that kind of thing, then
chain to the floor and walk up and down on it in high heels.

I am indifferent to Slipknot, but Messrs. Nigel Blackwell and Tommy
Mackay seem to think otherwise...

OK. The point of a cycle helmet is what, precisely? Oh, yes, to protect
your head in minor impacts without causing you to overheat. That's what
all those massively expensive vents are all about, isn't it? So these
things cover up the vents, and cause overheating. But they do worse than
that: they have an irregular, matt surface, which will increase the
friction between the helmet and the road surface if you should get
knocked off, which will increase the angular acceleration, which will
quite literally scramble your brains.

/If/ you are going to wear a cycle helmet for safety reasons, for
heaven's sake don't use anything like this on them.

John Prescott needs to improve the way he looks in a bike helmet. Do
they make a deputy Prime Minister's model?

All of those shown would improve Two Jags, especially if worn over his
face...
