Hybrid Importance

I found this on Failblog. I think it speaks for itself.
Priorities Fail



I have actually witnessed this. A certain large furniture chain (let's just say they deal in cheap, DIY-assembled furniture) has their parking lot setup like this. Hybrid car parking is closer to the door than handicapped. I've always wondered why hybrid owners would get this special privilege to begin with. Then again, I own a Honda Civic which does have a hybrid model, even though mine's not. I could park in these spots. How would they know without looking under the hood?
