  This is just Jason Chen of Gizmodo being a total jerk and making an innocent person's life miserable.
  
  The lady in the photo is Melissa Hofstetter, is a 15-year cancer survivor who lost her left leg to the illness. She started using the Segway as an assistive device because it's both maneuverable and because she has difficulty walking, especially on hilly areas. It also allows her to be in the standing position and look people in the eyes during conversations, and be mobile in ways that wheelchairs are not.
  
  The photo came to be when she was visiting her family in Seattle a few years back, helping take care of her grandniece while her grandnieces parents were busy

  "Lazy mom"? Hmm; how about a picture of all the moms in line to drop their kids off at school. How are they less lazy than someone who chose an alternative. I can understand your desire for people to walk, but the folks making short-distance car trips are far lazier--and far more destructive--than this person scooting along on a couple of cents' worth of electricity.
