I'm one of those people that has never learned to drive and i know nothing about cars... I'm guessing from the comments that the joke here is that the stuff attached to the steering wheel will explode in the driver's face if the airbag is activated, is this right?

I'm in the UK and it sounds like it might be us.

You have a point, but at the same time, in the UK at least when visiting my parents and watching their conventional TV recently, there were ads for Shell. Not advertising any particular product, mind, but they're not paying for advertising just for funsies either, I imagine.
