I've lived all over the world - and television is the same in all countries. Part propaganda, part slanted opinion, part waste by-products.
Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread with a diatribe on the futility of television.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programmes...

I saw that episode too. I was thinking the same thing you guys were. Not very surprising coming from MTV tho...
What DID suprise me and shocked me was the special I saw on the HISTORY channel a couple weeks ago (about american cars- featuring the Corvette and the Mustang) and they said corvette was celebrating its 42nd birthday in 05... not 5 minutes after they were talking about the first Vettes in 1953 that had a V6

I saw a Unique Whips episode that made the same mistake. They put gull-wing doors on Marcus Camby's 04 corvette. But, in the show they refer to it being an 05 corvette. You would think someone who supposedly specializes in cars would know the difference. I don't think I will be using Unique Autosports anytime soon.
