Huh. I'm late 50s in upstate NY and that's what EVERYone around here calls
it, both younger and my age. Or, at least, I've never had any strange looks
or questions. Probably because I'm in the boonies. I'll admit, though, "Red
Asphalt" is a sexier title for a drivers' ed video than "Red Macadam".

Others might over look this but equating blood and death with sex.
What ARE you some kind of necrophiliac?

Within the context of the film and video and training industry, he is
using the term correctly. Just like your local newscast or newspaper, if
your town still has one. "if it bleeds, it leads." Whatever it takes to
get the rubes in the tent, so you can deliver the content, either
training info to wetware storage, or eyeballs to advertisers.
