OCC is an interesting program from a metal fabrication point of view as is
monster garage. yet, i find both shows (as well as junk yard wars!)
incredibly stupid. at least the motorcycle program makes a real functional
vehicle with some longevity in mind. for the life of me i can not figure
out how they make a business function let alone keep it going considering
how incredibly disfunctional they are!
i can not believe the amount of the T shirts and hats i see out and about
locally from these shows! it's bad enough that these creative individuals
are creating the argumentitive and uncooperative image that these shows are
portraying. but on top of that they are getting royally rewarded for it
too! and people are supporting them in a huge way , in a huge financial
way! somehow i see it as being rather sad.
