We used to ride bikes in our bare feet but learned the hard way why shoes were important especially when you wiped out. Commercials like this that show kids doing stunts in their bare feet are the reason lawyers were running wild. These kids are in their bare feet too!

Although the word doesn't quite have the same meaning today, my father would have called this guy a true Huckster. Do you think anyone now-a-days could hammer on a car without leaving a dent? Seeing him do that gives me an uneasy feeling. Me being a classic car guy and all, seeing them more as treasures than slap `em through the sales line merchandise. Was that backdrop a sea container or were they shooting that at the edge of an underpass where the corregated sheet metal supports the dirt? Well, it takes a lot of stones to do that commercial.

We're not migrating away from comments - they are active on most breaking-news stories and blogs. However, a limitation to the "comment on this story" feature is that these comments don't have the cohesion of an ongoing discussion. We're looking to strike a balance between forums (topics that are evergreen) and one-off stories. In other words, we're not substituting one for the other; we're doing both. What that balance looks like depends a lot on the feedback of users - like this. That, to me, is what social media is all about. Rusty Coats VP & GM, TBO.com Thanks for sharing this via email.
