Shit Cars

The car has a horse's head!
Eight wagon wheels!

Whether it was a business or editorial decision I don't know (I could guess), but both CNN and Time's online presence have taken a strange turn into the world of ephemera. At the level of news, this is disheartening, when Does Your Love Life Need A Wingman takes morning billing over Putin's strange machinations to retain control over the Russian government, the earthquakes in Indonesia, and the aftermath of Petraeus' testimony, etc. But at the level of quirky feature story (or, better yet, top 50 list), the embrace of the weird and unnecessary is most amusing, and even enlightening. Take, for example, this "Top 50 Worst Cars of All Time." Do I need this in my life? Yes.

One of the cars has a horse's head!

It's a Lamborghini!

Holy shit, John, isn't this the car your family bought for thirty years running?
And then got stolen from a body shop in Brooklyn when some Italian guy
claimed to be your cousin? It made the list! Top 50 Worst Cars. Evah!
