Two separate geniuses killed themselves earlier this month near Modesto while performing the "ghost ride da whip" stunt popularized by "hyphy" hip-hop artists like E-40. One 18-year-old kid hit his head on a parked car while sticking his head out of the passenger side of his driverless car. Another 36-year-old, yes that's not a typo, fell off the roof of his driverless car, hit his head, and earned a well-deserved "adios" for his stupidity. Natural selection.

According to this news story, in hip hop culture kids are getting out of moving cars to dance on or around them, even on the freeway, and then try to get back in their vehicles to try and regain control before it crashes into something or runs them over, sometimes very unsuccessfully.

This ghost riding craze appears to have taken off as a result of popular rapper E-40, who has a song called "Tell Me When to Go" where he repeatedly chants, "Go Stupid! Dumb!" and "Ghost ride the whip!" That's exactly what the kids are doing. In fact, the song can be heard as background to many ghost riding videos found on the Internet. I guess that I am totally late to hear about this trend, since there were blog posts and news stories about this and the "hyphy" movement several months ago.

I am sorry but I was a teenager once and was never this dumb. Dancing on or around an out of control vehicle that weighs more than a ton is just plain stupid. Many would argue that this is just a form of natural selection. I predict that there are going to be a lot of wrecked cars (mostly belonging to mommy and daddy), broken bones, and deaths due this this craziness.
