So Jalop it almost brought a tear to my eye.
Thanks! Heart-clicked.
To be honest I think the music industry is just catering to today's market. Every decade's content has been racier than the last, so I assume it is simply every generation wants to out-do the last and pretend they are the first to discover sex.

On the issue of taking professional-style photos of oneself: I wouldn't necessarily criticise it. As the article discusses, her personality is is rather uninteresting, so she should be allowed to play on her strengths like her looks.

Whether the photo should be in the yearbook or not is another kettle of fish. I'd need to compare the photo with the rest of the yearbook and see if it looks out of place, because if everyone else has a straight mugshot face on a blank background then she would just look silly (never mind the sexiness).

I want another billboard war, the last one was awesome.
I imagine approaching the toll booth will be a pretty intimidating affair too if they build it.

Hahaha, number 1 is definitely the best.
Wow, Portal 2 eat your heart out. Is this site still in use at all or is it completely decommissioned?

Also, this [img-fotki.yandex.ru] reminds me of this [images04.olx.com.br]

Yes, but you have to minimise more windows in a hurry.
Buy a second monitor?
Sorry, by "from the US" I meant cars that they buy in the US and bring back to the UK.
To list everyone else's suggestions I had to press the "Earlier Comments" 8 times, so I don't think I stand a chance considering the amazing suggestions I came across, but here's my attempt anyway.

What if Fiat bought Chrysler back in 1973?

With the dawn of the 126, Fiat decided the whole world would work much better driving microcars. Unfortunately, the aesthetics did not appeal to the US market so they copied the styling of the Chrysler New Yorker...and made it a micro hatchback.

Then suddenly, Sergio Marchionne wakes up from his wild dream and realises he is now in 2012, so needs to add modern features like hybrid drivetrain, projector lights and fancy low profile wheels to really sell the concept to today's consumer.

Agreed: they would never in their right minds make such a creation.
Woo! Weeyla Deeylas! Is the latest series all based around cars from the US?
1:26 akilleezmight looks exactly like 99% of hardcore video-gamers.
I couldn't have put it better.
While I currently have much more passion for a petrol-powered car than an electric car, I still think we need to continue the development of electric cars.

I agree wholeheartedly that electric cars are not currently economically viable and are impractical in most cases, but in the same way we have greatly increased the efficiency and performance of petrol cars, why can't we do the same for electric? I think I recall a Jalopnik article about Edison and Ford making a prototype electric car but never unveiling it: imagine how advanced the electric car would be now if they started development back then.

Fossil fuels are plentiful now (hence the market doesn't really care), but I believe that (ideal) electric cars are the best investment when we run out. We have countless alternative ways of generating electricity without fossil fuels, and many of these we cannot copy into our cars like we can with petrol (i.e. you can't put a nuclear reactor under someone's bonnet).

Not to mention we already have the infrastructure in our homes and workplaces: you can theoretically fill up just about anywhere. At the moment electric cars are being charged via household sockets at household voltages, I am sure further improvements in charge times and electricity costs can be made if every household installed a separate high voltage circuit specifically for the task.

Essentially: yes, electric cars are boring impractical hipster trophies now but, as much as we love them, petrol cars were terrible when they had just been invented too.

Unfortunately the same amount of CO2 is released in the conversion of natural gas to hydrogen (via steam reformation) as in combustion.

Electrolysis is another option, but it still costs electricity...which we may as well put directly into our cars.

No, no, no. This is not how you do it.

You're supposed to ask her out *instead* of giving her a ticket.

You can't have your cake and it it too.

When I picture beautiful American cars customised in down town Los Angeles, I think of this [images.vogue.it] or this http://i.imgur.com/xggsI.jpg , not so much this [img521.imageshack.us] (yes, I know it's a Japanese car, but it illustrates the difference in finish).

I hope they don't use those cheap wheels on the finished product either.
