Fortunately I'm too old to know who the hell B Real is, but if I wanted to be a star I certainly wouldn't named myself after the dreaded "B Reel". The B reel was the cheap shorties they showed before the real movie. Nowadays you very rarely see anything except advertisements for other movies and pleas for money.

Well you've got two different words going on there....The guy is a latino (Mexican?) rapper who has been a longtime proponent of the legalization of recreational cannabis so his involvement in that show should not come as too much of a surprise to those who do know of him.

Well his drug habits aside, if they sound the same, wouldn't you believe people could associate those names in their mind, in a negative way?

Then again they say that there's no bad publicity.

That's certainly not outside the realm of possibility.
 
I feel stupid. I just now heard of runaway truck ramps. I honestly can't even remember seeing them. Maybe they are more common on hills and mountains...which I don't have alot of experience.
 
I've seen one being used before, driving over Pacheco pass. It's pretty dramatic with gravel flying everywhere like the Wake off a big boat. They're usually laid thick with sand or gravel to help slow the trucks down.

Hello; I have seen runaway truck ramps. I think in the mountains of NC. I can not recall which highway right now, maybe I-40 but I am not sure about that. On a long downhill grade there were two or three places where a vehicle can drive onto what looked like a deep loose gravel roadbed with a slight uphill pitch. I think the plan is the wheels will sink into the gravel and slow down.
 
On this day in 2011 osama bin laden was terminated by U.S. military forces.... :headbang2
