So it's bad enough an employee beats on a vehicle in stock and, ok, I'm sure this isn't the first time it has been done, but then to make a video and post it on YouTube!?  God help our society because I think we're getting dumber and dumber.  Idiocracy was on Comedy Central late last night and wish I would've kept watching it...ah, but it's on again today...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ken Block's Gymkhana thing is becoming so orchestrated that it's boring.  Remember the first one where it wasn't such a huge production and looked more like a real-world experience rather than a "turn left here @ 30 mph, turn right, and last stop 3 feet before the line" made-for-tv show?  The first was definitely the best.  The second wasn't bad, but just too orchestrated.  And now #3 is going to be such a production that they've got rap stars and hoes involved...BORING!<br />

 <title>wait...isn&apos;t everything Apple just &quot;supposed to work&quot;?</title>

Looks like even the power Apple can't dodge being hacked eh?<br />

 <title>wow...if you missed the X Games 16 rally portion it was somethin&apos; to behold...</title>
 <link>http://weblog.travisjbailey.com/index.php?itemid=938</link>
<description><![CDATA[First up was the rally course.  This asinine course was very poorly layed out.  There's two cars going against each other starting at different parts of the course and half of the drivers got red flagged (and disqualified) for making a wrong turn.  Oh, and no co-drivers either so you're on your own...unless you had an ESPN commentator next to you...um, dumb.<br />
<br />
Second was the super rally which was actually pretty sweet.  Three, four lap, 4-car heats with the top car going to the final.  Then there's a fourth heat for those who finished second in each of the previous heats as a "last chance qualifier."  Winner goes to the final.  The final heat then includes those four cars in a five lap race.  Pretty good setup if you ask me.  What was the main story here?  It was the guy with the checkered flag waving it one lap early.<br />
<br />
So, here's a summary:<br />
<br />
- either redesign the rally course or bring back the proper co-drivers<br />
- bad PR day for Subaru with all of their mechanical issues (two out of the three Vermont SportsCar-based engines failed, Dave Mira's tranny issue in first rally)<br />
- Ken Block and his Ford were non-contenders<br />
- checkered flag waved too early in the super rally final race<br />
- Tanner Foust and his Ford got gold in both events<br />
- sloppy production by ESPN]]></description>
