Vanilla Ice was such a little bitch. It's a damn shame that Suge Knight didn't have his boys drop his ass from that balcony. And then beat his corpse with a bat. And then piss and shit on it.

For the $2500 car--how much would a passenger side mirror add to the cost? the other "sacrifices" i get, but that one seems silly.

The $2500 50 ppg car:

1. When can I buy one? I already have an iPod.

2. When our friends in India and China buy about 600 mllion of these cars, expect gas to be at about $6 a gallon here. And CO2 to soar......

When can we make these babies electric plug ins?

The Husky booster should serve time in jail, and he should be permanently barred from setting foot on University property, very much including the stadium.

God, what a fucking tool Arsenio was. He picks his Vanilla Ice interview to get hard-hitting. "I have an audio tape"? Really, Arsenio?

A former politician who started a very successful bank didn't think an email offering $200,000.00 for the UW to fire two men would become public? Wow.

Just wow.

Hooray! Millions more human beings out on the roads in cars! But hey, at least these cars heat up the planet slightly less rapidly ...

You will never be able to use these cars in the US, even if you tried to import one yourself, as they have not passed EPA emissions testing or DOT crash testing. There's no way it would pass either one.

More than half of the cars in the world will be in China and India soon.

@2, anyone who's ever ridden in a car in India (let alone driven one... yikes), would know that the passenger mirror is totally unnecessary (hell, any mirrors, or turn signals for that matter, are not required) . All they need is their horn. And a blindfold for the passenger, if they are a Westerner, so that they might avoid wetting themselves.

I love the low-priced car - its the solution to our traffic congestion problems. There is no way we could afford to expand out roads system to accomodate all those cars. It would pressure government to shift transportation policy towards mass transit, and it make transit alternatives more attractive to drivers.

arsenio did come off like a tool. it made me feel sorry for vanilla, which is quite a feat. v-ice is enough of a tool without hall blaming him rapping but his bans being white.

I'm also astounded nobody mentioned the giggle-worthy name: Tata Motors.

It looks a lot like a Smart car to me. The more alarming thing is that apparently the Nano car has no air bags.

@16... Tata makes most of the big, semi-type trucks in India (like Mack here). So, emblazened in huge letters on the front and back of these trucks is "TATA". I definitely thought it was funny, though, most of the times I saw that logo it was speeding at me at high rates of speed, head-on collision seemingly imminent.

Hey, Bush could achieve peace in the Middle East before he leaves office. Here's how: as a gesture of good faith he has Paul Wolfowitz beheaded live on Al Jazeera and promises to have Dick Cheney's pacemaker ripped out with a Stanley FUBAR if all parties concern come to the table. Once all parties are at the table (and Cheney's pacemaker has been ripped out) and an agenda has been set he has one member, or former member of his cabinet, killed every time a point of agreement is reached and signed off on. Finally he promises that if the treaty is signed and implemented before 20 JAN 2009 he will castrate himself with a chainsaw and bleed to death, live on Al Jazeera while his ranch in Crawford, Texas and the Bush compound in Kennebunkport, Maine are bombed off the face of the earth by squadrons of B-52s armed with fuel-air bombs.
