You Might Just Be A Red Neck After All...

Red Neck Security

Red Neck Auto Body Work

I just want to know if it even runs. Are the exhaust pipes just for decoration? If so, you are a bigger Red Neck than you thought...

What ever gets them going to church...

God sells....

So what's your point?

I really cannot believe this guy is doing this. I don't know what's worse, the guying doing the work or the person taking the picture who isn't stopping him...

Do you think he was eventually stopped by a cop?

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Luxury yachts and tricked-out cars. P. Diddy and Gwen Stefani. And lots and lots of water.

MTV announced Monday that its Video Music Awards will feature all of those elements next month as it seeks once again to reinvent an awards show that routinely lures big stars and makes racy headlines.

Punk rockers Green Day led all musical acts with eight nominations, Stefani and Missy Elliott followed with six and U2 with five.

P. Diddy will host the Aug. 28 awards show, which comes at the height of Miami's steamy summer and peak of hurricane season. He swooped in to Monday's beachfront announcement on a jet pack, landing on the sand and walking to the podium.

Wearing a white suit and a grey shirt with no tie, he promised that the show would include scene-stealing stunts as in the past. While there was plenty of sex appeal last year, there was little shock value compared to the 2003 show that featured the infamous Madonna-Britney Spears kiss.

"I'm going to tell the artists that if you want to get naked and run across the stage, go ahead and do it," P. Diddy said.
