An interesting scam has resurfaced in the last few years, taking the world by storm. It is at least a decade old scam, remarkably well organized, bordering on mafia-like proportions. There are many slight variations, but the scam is mostly the same- two guys, in a white truck(hence the name) approach you in a mall or store parking lot. Perhaps at a stop light, or they wave at you frantically as you drive down the highway. "Hey buddy, wanna buy a set of speakers?" Sounds absurd, but all manner of people fall for it all across the world.

Quote of the Day
Bill Murray stays cool at his own film festival
On making "Caddyshack" in Florida in the early 1980s: "They gave me this great green Lincoln Continental rent-a-car with green upholstery, and back then there was no one living in Florida so you could drive at 90, and get really hammered. It was a good time to be an American."
