Thursday night, on some Summer replacement show, "Undercover"or "Deep into
it" or sumpin like that, an undecover sting operation was put into place to
bust "Johns" who solicit the "working folk." Of course the "Johns" are two
rowdy longish haired guys in a white waterpumper vanagon.

We noticed a few unrealistic things about the scene...
1. The sliding door worked (twice~!) without having to yank like a monkee on
coke in a documentary film clip to get the sucker open!  
2. The partner cop called into the microphone that two guys just picked up
the undercover police woman in a white "Minivan" !!!
3. The stereo worked in the van.
4. The front end didn't sound like it was held together with a broken KYB shock.
5. The front rotors didnt chirp like a cricket on a PA system as they went
down the road.
6. The hosers yanked the center seat out of the bus.

When will they ever come up with a realistic show for gosh sakes! =)
