Chrysler Motors files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy,
30 April 2009 .
Lee Iacocca, the retired chairman and CEO who led Chrysler through a government bailout in the late 1970s, said it was a sad day.
“It pains me to see my old company, which has meant so much to America, on the ropes,” he said in a written statement. “But Chrysler has been in trouble before, and we got through it, and I believe they can do it again.” The government has sunk about $25 billion in aid into Chrysler and rival General Motors Corp. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090430/ap_on_bi_ge/us_chrysler
PimpHop.com Perspective- They should have stuck it out with The Pimpin!

Lets make a deal.
We will watch you do the IN Thing,

If you are still around, we will sit down,
have some drinks, and compare notes.
Agreed?
Here’s To GOOD HEALTH.

Greetings Earthlings, and Welcome Back to
The Greatest Show In The Galaxy.
Starting Off On The Right Foot With Pimp Cane In Hand,
amongst many firsts that have been realized within the past 48 hours, we will conclude that B-Rock and his Admin will be the first to come into the position of the Highest Office and provide INTELLIGENCE Briefings as opposed to receiving them, so on that note, follow along if you will.
Listen Close Kiddies. If You Desire
WINNING RESULTS, it is in your BEST INTEREST to follow WINNING EXAMPLES. and while the
U.S. Constitution allows for freedom of diet
(For The Most Part), amongst being the first African American President, we should add a minor detail to the story which would be the first African American NON PORK EATING president in the history of America.
An oldie but goodie that rings true is that
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, FROM YOUR HEAD DOWN TO YOUR FEET,
Lets look at what a Porkless Diet may entail for your benefit and cool factor increase which is what brought us all here in the first place.
SWINE– currently known as PIG in the western world. Attributes-Filthy-Greedy Of Gain-Inability To Clean Up Its Own Environment After Making A Mess Of It.
Already in the record books from the Obama Administration is the most well organized & well ran campaign, which for all intensive purposes, is the opposite of a SLOPPY campaign.
Google the word SLOP and you will become enlightened.
So, outside of any particular religious or cultural beliefs and giving any favoritism or scrutiny towards anyone’s particular preferences, this is simply a format of a working example to follow in your quest to reach
Official Pimpin Status.
Winning results Require a Spirit of Sacrifice for the Greater Good.
If you simply cannot resist the flavor, a healthy alternative known as TURKEY BACON and other alternatives are available as a great starting point in your quest for CHANGE!
Eating Pork Is NOT “P”.
In Closing, we will simplify even further.

Who would have guessed that the last Money Matters post would have received such an overwhelming response? I only posted it because much of what I hear as of late from many people is about how bad the economy is, yet little if any of the discussions are regarding the how to’s of making it better.
I think different, so if I am correct in my assessment that the poor condition of the global economy is based on the poor mental ,emotional, and physical condition of the global community, then a change for the better in the condition of the global community would also lead to a change for the better in the global economic condition. Yep, that did sound kinda philosophical didn’t it?
I pat myself on the back, but to be sure you get it correct without confusion, I just mean that something as simple as a GLOBAL ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT can and will do much good. With that out of the way, here is the second part of the Bob Proctor series.
I kinda dig ole Bob’s steelo.
His name is one that can be associated with wealth, think
PROCTOR & GAMBLE, plus he has that wise old white guy appeal that adds value to his pitch. Now, if you want to get into the inner meanings as to why there is actually a WOMAN named Michelle who is the author and singer of the Magnet To Money song featured in the series, as well as the reasons why the whole “THE SECRET” book and movie phenomenon was from a woman named
Rhonda Byrne, you will have to guess which channel to stay tunded into.
I happen to like Rhonda, as for some mysterious reason, I received a friends request from their Arizona headquarters on Myspace, before it(The Secret) became popular, and I had to see what they were saying months later on Oprah. She must have seen something from us that she LIKED!
Go figure?
There is blood in the streets of the Information Super Highway created by um..Al Gore!
Things are definitely changing in the world of New Media. Whether for better or worse is all based on decisions , attitudes , and perspectives.
Per Tech Crunch
We broke the news that News Corp. was looking to replace founder and CEO Chris DeWolfe on Tuesday. Later that day we confirmed the news. On Wednesday News Corp. issued a short press release that DeWolfe was leaving and that cofounder and president Tom Anderson would be moving to a new role.
I actually happen to like Myspace and the house that Anderson & DeWolfe built, yet I also understand the necessity for change in the name of progress and growth, so on that note, since I am feeling a bit generous today, I will issue some sound advice to the NEWS CORP executives in order to at least have a slight chance of keeping things afloat.
If you are maintaining a virtual social networking community, the community has leaders and followers just as any community, and things would probably tend to flow better if the leader/leaders were individuals who were respected , well liked and in tune with a majority of the community members and their needs.
ALL solid relationships hinge upon respect, trust, and clear and honest communication. Here is a working example from an individual who also has his own personal social networking profile on Myspace.com as well as Facebook.com and a few others in addition to his own personal website listed on the image below.
He even has a YouTube video like many of the community members, even though Myspace has its OWN video upload service?
In closing , while it is a known fact the News Corp is in support of the Republican Party, Obama was able to generate more in campaign funding and support donations through Myspace.com than Myspace.com was able to secure in yearly advertising revenues with all x-million of its active users in the year of 2008.
IMHO, if you want to loose, its not hard, simply take what has not worked and does not work, and then just continue to do more of it and see if it does the trick!
Dont take any of this as expert advise, because well, what would
an AFRICAN AMERICAN male know about technology and the operation of large scale dot coms anyway?
Its just for entertainment.
A different perspective to consider.

I know that some of you reading this wont be very interested in this news, because its what insiders have to keep track of, but for those who are, a popular blogger from rotorblog.com which many outlets draw information from regarding techworld news says its actually quite possible.
(Facebook & Myspace to Go South)
From a Pimphop.com perspective, we have ALWAYS known full well that you cant have Ray Ray ,Billy Joe, & Rachael Sue up in your venue without soon seeing a property value decline , from the people that they attract. For those who dont get what I just said.. its not meant for you.
Just be sure to respect the dress code!!!
We interrupt our regular programming with this “disturbing†post regarding an interesting trend reported by Web analytics and trending company Hitwise. Hitwise’s Top 5 Social Networking Websites Ranked by Market Share of U.S. Internet Visits showed that both MySpace and Facebook which are occupying the top two spots are suffering from a slowing growth. Is this a sign of what the future holds for social networking sites, or is the saturation of the social networking sites and the proliferation of niche social networks affecting these two top social networks?
According to the Hitwise report for, MySpace is still the number one social networking site in terms of market share despite suffering from a decline from July’s 68.23% to last August 2008’s 67.54% market share. Comparing this with August of last year’s 75.04%, means that MySpace suffered a -10% loss in market share.
Hot on the trail of MySpace is Facebook which despite of gaining 50% market share from August 2007’s 13.68% to this year’s 20.56% still posted a loss from July’s 19.48%. This only shows that although Facebook has gained tremendous amount of market share for the past couple of months, it has all of sudden declined from July to August.
Those who this apply to that are reading this, the contact email is

Now, what in the world motivated you to click on this link?
Chances are, that it was the SAME EXACT reason why legendary
Celebrity Photographer Anne Leibovitz popped off a few shots in an effort to get you to pick up the latest copy of
Vanity Fair, or perhaps Google up some Racy images that were leaked on the web of Miley Cyrus involved in some GIRL PLAY.
So lets get into it shall we?
She (Miley) is the 15 years young offspring of popular Country Music star Billy Ray Cyrus
known now and forever as Mr. Achey Breaky Heart.
The whole current debate resides over her apology for posing in Vanity Fair magazine, in an artistically nude setting.
Miley states- “I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed,†Miley said in a statement released by her reps on Sunday.
“I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.â€Â
Call me NEW FASHIONED, but what is there to actually apologize about?
Is there some form of an UNMET NEED which inspired her to appear in such a fashion?
sprightly; piquant; pungent: a racy literary style.
4.
having an agreeably peculiar taste or flavor, as wine, fruit, etc.
It all sounds agreeable to me!
For PR purposes, I would have to conclude that since she is a Multi Billion Dollar Brand, whose target audience SHOULD be young teens, the Disney Corporation would have to accept some of the moral responsibility in regards to the image that she is presenting to the public.
Interestingly enough, you also have a peer pressure factor which indicates that while Miley is acting as a role model for millions of minors, she and millions of others of her age group may have been influenced by the ones before her who have acted as role models, in a trend many know as the Girls Gone Wild Effect, with many of todays current female icons or Hollywood Party Girls representing for the cause.

made her bones in the industry before Billy Ray Cyrus, was GETTING HIS BONE ON resulting in the avatar currently known as Hannah Montana.
One of my mothers favorite sayings is that there really IS no such thing as a coincidence, and that everything is RELEVANT and RELATIVE.

AHA!!!
Now we know why so many star athletes want to go to Disneyland following a championship game.
Back to the lesson at hand.
This is simply a small list of the current trend we are now experiencing in Pop Culture , and it all looks strikingly similar to what I may encounter on a daily basis in my travels to popular social networking sites(Myspace,Facebook) as well as public places such as malls, clubs or college campuses. There are plenty of galleries here at PimpHop.com with the same play by play footage!
While many parents may be somewhat disgruntled with Miley Cyrus, and her team for the decision to show some skin, many of the teens that are following her would probably be wondering what the hold up has been and why Hannah Montana has been so out of the loop in regards to the status quo standards.
Is the only thing that is blocking Miley Cyrus from expressing her third and soon to be released alter ego her age?
If so, perhaps many of her real fans would be marking off calender days until her 18th birthday similar to what we saw with the Olsen Twins.

Ill wrap up this installment with an important PimpHop.com F.A.Q.
Q:What is it the difference between some of todays top female celebrities, and some notable adult film stars and entertainers?
Since the financial crisis hit the Netherlands I am getting more worried about my future. I am not into 9-to-5 jobs, but is right now a good time to get more educated? Or to be picky about jobs? I think not.
I believe the time has come to invest in jobs. Not by getting more educated or working for free, but investing in efforts. Some years ago it was enough to have an education and a pretty face. Today that doesn’t fill the entire picture anymore.
Employers want to see the efforts that you have done in your career, prove of effort that you will do for them and most of all; effort on the job interview, before they even begin to think of hiring you.
Lucky for me that I can still work as a model. Unfortunately though, modeling in the Netherlands also requires some investments. Most of the interesting jobs I get asked for are low buget, so unpaid. These are also the jobs that look very good on a resume and that girls are standing in line for. So does it pay to invest in a modeling career at times like these? I don’t know. It still wouldn’t keep me from falling down when the crisis hits the modeling world.
A positive thing about it though is that modeling teaches you really quickly how to present and express yourself in all sorts of situations. By modeling you get to know so many different people that you will quickly learn how to get along with all of them. And you experience so many situations that you will learn to act quickly under stress or other difficult circumstances. So maybe it is worth it to invest in a modeling career.
And, when I am not able to be a model anymore, I can start my own course. In this course I could teach other people how to present themselves. How to behave in certain situations and how to keep their cool under stress. Would you invest in it?
One thing that I used to ask myself when I looked at people, especially girls, around me is; how do they get by? I don’t know how it works in the US but in the Netherlands everybody always seems to have everything they want. Minus a job, that is.
And, even though I am Dutch myself, I wonder how this is possible. When there’s a moment in which I am not working, I am always struggling to get by. Even when my parents are giving me a helping hand, I still can’t do all the things I want to. And it’s hard to (temporarily) give up the life of luxury that I am used to.
Can you imagine how hard it must be for girls that never knew luxury, to lose it after having experienced it for a while? Well, it’s much harder for them than it is for me. They don’t know how to hold on to it. MTV is also not helping them. Shows like Cribs and The fabulous life make Dutch people even hungrier for fortune than they already were. It’s not just the guys anymore that dream about having nice cars and cribs, is seems like the whole nation is now interested in these items. And in flaunting them.
The most interested in these things though, are girls that just met with luxury. They are like scavengers, interested in everything that shines. And who profits from that? Exactly, men with a little spare change in their pocket and a not-so-happy marriage. A man like that has to be neither wealthy nor good-looking. Just willing to provide a luxurious life for a girl that is not his daughter. And hope that he gets something in return. Which, most (or some) of the times, isn’t the case.
I know this now, when I was younger I was naïve and I thought that people around me were on my level. Never taking money for anything other than a decent job from someone that is not immediate family, that is.
The fact that these scavenger girls are never honest about their income didn’t make it easier for me to figure it out. But as you get older, you start realizing that some things are not as they seem (or just as they seem) and I so put the pieces together.
Obviously the scavenger girls lie about their sugar daddy’s because they are not proud of it. It’s not just the fact that they have to take money from strangers, but also the fact that these sugar daddy’s are never people they want to be seen with. Especially since flaunting is the new trend, something that doesn’t really work with a guy twice your age on your side.
So maybe it’s time for MTV to come up with a new show. I have already seen Pimp my ride, Pimp my bike, Pimp my room, Pimp my doghouse and much more. When will I be able to watch a show that will help all of these young scavenger girls? Pimp my… sugar daddy!
