Some very intersting things have been said here. I totaly agree with Mercury about the media. U know they will take something like this and blow it all out of proporsion. Every bad thing people do these days is blamed on tv or the movies. There have been thousands of people that have died from street racing in the past. The movie now just gives them something to blame it on. A person also blames tv or movies becuase they are not man enough or women enough to take responsiblity for their own actions.

There have been movies in the past with street racing. American Graphiti, Two lane black top and others. Why didn't these movies ever get blamed when people died at the time they came out. It is becuase people are always looking for that scape goat instead of looking at themselves these days.
