X-zibit SUSPENDED from MTV for "you just been pimped" comment!!!
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 11:50 PM by alcibiades_mystery
Hip hop star and host of MTV's hit "Please Improve my Car?" X-zibit has been suspended until further notice after insisting that several of the show's winners accept his statement that they'd been "pimped."

X-zibit had previously been censured by the network for calling newly installed video monitors on a VW Bug's mudflaps "useless," and for grimacing at a used condom that he found in one guests car before the renovation.

"Please Improve My Car?," now in its eighth season, features expert car customizers transforming old and run down automobiles into fantastic - and often outlandish - street machines. X-zibit has hosted the show since the beginning, and is said to have vigorously opposed the decision to change the show's name from a previous, more offensive, version.

When asked whether he would apologize, X-zibit stated "Man, (expletive) all y'all."

An MTV spokesperson stated that the network had no further comment on the matter, but that the show would resume taping for the fall season this summer.

5. X'hibit would likely have engaged us in a discussion about the nuance of metaphor
and the power of euphemism. Perhaps even piggyback it to a discussion of the semantic history of the word "pimpin'".

He would have never said "fuck all y'all"

I'm so offended :)
