I don't know if anyone watches the reality TV show about Hulk Hogan called "Hogan Knows Best." My husband watches it but I find the family insufferable and stopped watching it almost immediately.
One of the reason I can't stand it is because Hulk, and his wife Linda, spoil the kids, Nick and Brook, beyond belief. They fabricated a music career for Brook despite any evidence of talent and then sponsored their (then) 16 year old son in a career as race car driver (drifting). Huh? Who the hell thinks it's a good idea to give a 16 year old a Dodge Viper and say here son, why don't you race down the track in this? Is it any surprise that the kid got four speeding tickets within one year of getting his drivers license-- at least two were over 100mph.
How was this kid's license not pulled?
So, predictably, a kid is in the hospital after Hogan's kid got into an accident almost 2 weeks ago. The passenger is still in the hospital now.
So WTF? Why hasn't anything been done yet?
Hulk Hogan is of course claiming his kid didn't do anything wrong. He says his son wasn't racing (despite numerous witness statements to the contrary) and that the media is being "unfair" in bringing up Nick's driving record. Way to go dad. Way to teach your son how to take accountability for his actions.
But it gets better. The mom of the passenger, still in critical condition, is defending the Hogan family. Now, I don't want to call her a sell out-- that wouldn't be fair, especially since her son is still clinging to life in the hospital. But it is public knowledge that the Hogans are paying the medical bills (as they should) and I can't help wonder if there has been talk of a monetary settlement between the two families. I'm betting they've already begun negotiating numbers.
What really pi$$es me off about this whole deal is how the Hogan family is treating the whole thing. Oh boo hoo, poor Nick is being beat up by the press. Our poor baby didn't do anything wrong. But he's trying to keep a stiff upper lip and get on with his life....
Are you kidding me?
And somewhere in all this the police are supposedly investigating this thing, but so far nothing has been done. Nada. Why? Because Nick's the spoiled brat kid of some celebrity and no one wants to step on the toes of anyone famous. We wouldn't want to offend anybody.
This whole thing infuriates the heck out of me.

I love, love, love the layout of your blog! How were you able to manipulate the background and the designs? I'm teeming with questions.
Also, I love "Hogan Knows Best," mainly for the Hulk himself. I think the Hulk tries not to spoil the kids, but the mother always seems to trump him.
Yeah, the Dodge Viper thing is a little bit much.
Anyway, I wanted to drop by and say hello. Perhaps, I can entice you to stop by my corner of the blogosphere. I'm a standup comedienne blogging her way to stardom. I would love it if you dropped an insightful comment my way. I'm always looking for new ideas from fellow blogger buddies.

I tweaked the html. I got most of my hacks at Hackosphere and surfed the net to the rest. Many many hours have gone into making this mess.
@Hulk Hogan. Yeah, I think he'd rein the kids in more if he could. But still- he's the one defending the boy and saying he didn't do anything wrong. I don't think the kids are going to end up being better off by having dad buy their way out of their mistakes.
