Killin' time before I have to meet somebody. There's a show on Discovery called Street Outlaws. It's about some group of guys who street race at night.

Not so sure that's sending the right message. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but there are plenty of ways that could go wrong.

Yeah it's fake and dumb. It's been on for about a year now. I watched the first two episodes and couldn't believe how irresponsible the show is. Even though it's fake, it promotes idiotic, dangerous activities that would surely lead to jail in real life.

Yes, death of the racer or an innocent minivan full of kids are a very likely outcome.

Seen it, it's really dumb. They act like they are all the fastest ever, and that it's been going on for a long time.

The show is absolute stupidity. Promotes stupid street racing, and I really hate their "test runs" where they apparently go to an open road, drop the car out, run it, and hurry it in the trailer before the "cops" get them.

Frustrating. They should instead have a show following around a real racing team. That would be actually interesting.

What bothers me the most is that this is actually on Discovery Channel. There's nothing about it and quite a few other shows on DC that warrant a run on it. The fact that they had to branch off into Discovery Science is just strange.

Super fake, super dumb. But I'll throw it on when I'm not really watching because there are some pretty cool cars.

I agree with following a real race team. Less Street Outlaws, More World of Outlaws.
