That poor car and it's solid black brake dust wheels. Driven by someone completely incapable of adding oil to her. I'm sure he doesn't care about the car MTV probably bought it for him when they hired him to do the show. Think about it why do camera men never cross paths, or accidentally end up in reflections somewhere? Because the whole thing is staged just with bad actors to make it seem real.

...or they're trained to avoid those situations. or they just cut out the footage where they do appear in the background.
and as for the show, after watching an episode, meh. it's just about some bratty bitch at a high school trying to push people around, but then karma comes and kicks her in the *** with how everyone talks **** about her. sad.
and yes, i miss the music videos
they made mtv2 for that, but then bombarded it with reruns of all the shows.
vh1 plays music videos in the morning until 10am i think if you guys are looking for any.

Or the progam where they sent out their news reporters to parts of Southeast Asia that devastated by Tsunami.
The show that shows what can happen to you when you have unprotective sex or use drugs, and tells you where to go and what you can do when happens to you.
etc,..
so hopefully you don't only choose to see "five-stranger-living-together" show.

Bono participates in the world-wide offshore tax evasion system that is to a large extent responsible for the poverty of Africa. The African Union says tax dodging by foreign companies costs it $150 billion a year - three times what it receives in aid.
The Irish Bono ran his music publishing company in Ireland, where he and his partners took advantage of a law that exempted musicians and artists from taxes on royalties. To dodge taxes on non-royalty income, Bono's interests had the help of offshore nominee directors.
The Irish royalty exemption was begun to aid and reward creative artists, in hopes of encouraging the struggling kind, not to further enrich mega-millionaires like Bono. Last year, the law was changed. From 2007, artists who earn more than $625,450 must pay tax on half their creative income. It hardly seems a harsh measure.
Bono's Dublin company earned $110 million in 2005. Taking profits through the company rather than individually, Bono would have had to pay only 12.5 percent corporate tax, a rate still below that of the local bus conductor or plumber or school teacher.
But that apparently was too much for the man who has homes on the Irish Coast and in the South of France and New York City. So, last year, Bono "moved" the registration of his business to the Netherlands, where it will pay about 5 percent tax on royalties.

Indeed, would millions be dying every year of hunger and preventable diseases if tax havens used by the very rich, including Bono and U2, did not exist? The Tax Justice Network has estimated that the amount of funds held by wealthy individuals in tax havens could generate a staggering $255 billion dollars in additional tax revenue annually -- enough alone to finance the Millennium Development Goals -- which range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education by 2015. That raises a very important question: will the Task Force of which Bono is now a member address how tax havens undermine efforts to fund the life-saving needs of the world's poorest people in preventing hunger?
More specifically, how hundreds of billions are siphoned out of government coffers every year by very rich individuals and multi-national companies using tax havens to avoid tax?
This is especially serious in Africa, where the African Union has estimated that as much as $150bn is lost every year through this form of fiscal abuse -- three times what it receives in aid!

o wow...so much quoting....do you believe everything they say? You can find so much dirt on any celebrity if that's what you're specifically looking for. And we all know that most of them are wrong.
But in anycase, that's not the point I'm trying to make when I said what I said earlier. I don't care what celebrities do for their personal gain or what they do to make more money. I'm not defending Bono either. You can crap on him as much as you like. I could care less. But he does give something back to help out the poors. You gotta give some credit for that. He didn't win all these humanitarian awards for nothing.
Anyway..I'm off the track here........... I'm just simply stating some programs on mtv are educational for young people when I said what I said earlier. Because of those programs and shows, we get to see what's going on on the other side of the world.
Peace!

and we also get to feel better about ourselves with the people they choose to star in their shows. seems like with the real world castings, they keep trying to find people with a lists of problems. which, in turn, means drama, which means higher ratings

This right here is a big contributing factor to why I sold my car. Getting to common in the young crowd. 8's used to be priced out of teen hands and relatively uncommon, now I see little riced out 8's everyday. It really is sad.

^ok I gotta agree with you on that. I have been seeing atleast one or two rx8s where I live every freaking day!!!! I hate it. When I first bought it I had never seen another RX8 in my area for like atleast a year straight! It made me feel so good to get so much attentions every time I drove around in my little town!
And I live in rather small town...not in a big city. All we have is bowling alley, movie theaters and a mall. For about 6 or 7 months now...I've been running into other RX8s like every day..it's crazy. Even like 4 in the morning on a weekday. ...seriously!
And I even got tailed a few times......I hated it.... ..I'm like " don't f@#king tail me unless we're in group drive or something..seriously!!!!
