ridin'

Have you noticed that on TV there is a bunch of garbage on the tube at this time? I know this should help me in stepping back from watching the tube but I still tend to watch a bit too much.

One of those shows that I have found myself watching from time to time is "Pimp my Ride". OK first of all when did Pimp become an acceptable word? The scary thing is that today being a pimp or big pimpin' is now seen by the younger folk to be a cool thing.

Well that is not my main reason to post but it still does have to do with the show. I was watching an episode and saw the stupidest thing that went well over the top. I know there have been many things placed within the cars on the show that went completely overboard and plain useless.

This particular show had them putting small TV screens within the headrest.

I know what your thinking "Toebee what is stupid about that?"

Yes, putting TVs in headrests is nothing new.

No, not the back of the headrest for the passengers in the back seat to enjoy but in the front of the headrest. When is he going to use them? Does it not hurt your noggin when ya put your head back to "rest".

OK OK OK I know! There is one instance that i guess placing the screens where they did is not a bad thing. This may be the first mother in history of cars that does not mind ridin in their kids car. For centuries mothers have been telling us kids (I am a 36 year old kiddo and still hear it) that they have eyes in the back of their heads. She has to be stoked to ride in his ride.

Also quickly there is a commercial on these days that tells us that a certain vehicle brings the family together. One of the first shots has the family within a mini van with the adults in the front seats (mom must be watching a video with her eyes in the back of her head) and three kids sitting in their chairs watching Videos and one playing a video game. Each with head phones on. So how does this bring the family together? Physically yes, but are they actually "together" as a family?
