MMOs are essentially a pay2play 3D graphical interface on a public chatroom with a treadmill stat system. Even if they don’t include any actual gameplay apart from running in circles collecting items, people will continue to leap at the chance to pay to chat in a 3D world. I dunno, at least if n00bs are playing world or warcraft they aren’t clogging up the servers for the real games with their n00bishness.

Creationism, intelligent design, ghosts, the paranormal, superstition, UFOs, terrorism, shark attacks, africanized killer-bees, second-hand smoke, global warming, environmentalism, greenpeace, PETA, videogame inspired murderers, the energy crisis, extinction, and all other overblown and/or outright and utterly false bullshit that has no place on TV or in anyone’s head has got to be stopped.
I see you asking, “Couldn’t you just be another sensationalistic agenda pushing moron trying to steer people away from the very real threat of abusive babysitters and flu epidemics?”. Depends on if you’re skeptical of the right things I guess.
Stupid people will bring about the destruction of the world because smart people are few in number and are powerless to stop them. If only we could remove all the warning labels that protect the unfit from natural selection we could be free from this nonsense.
Edited on Sept. 5th in an attempt to focus an otherwise meandering and inane post.

Pimp my Ride UK sucks. The giant 40 year old white guy talking street host sucks (and only seems to come off as a rude prick when he tries to bring his tired ass corny jokes). The washed up, no talent, over 35, garage crew, sucks. Their 80’s hairstyle’s, suck. The mods, suck. The fact that the car in every episode is a tiny european hatchback, sucks. The shop owner’s huge motherfucking nose, sucks. The fact that they use the same theme music over the same intro with the same american cars and then tack a “uk” on the logo, sucks.
The UK version does little else but prove that the US version is complete and utter genius and that in the UK, people can keep a straight face while a 40 year old white guy flails his arms and uses words like “banging” and “bling” with absolutely no inflection. The UK doesn’t have a rapper with with nothing to do during the day that can host this show? It’s not like they’re recording songs. I can’t remember the last time I’ve even heard an english rapper let alone seen one. I guess any rapper that would lose out on a hosting job to a 6 foot tall, 150 pound, 40 year old white guy wouldn’t have helped anyway.
