How Media Brings Out the Idiot in Teens -- "The first reports of car surfing as a phenomenon emerged in the 1980s. Copycats were inspired by the 1985 movie 'Teen Wolf,' in which the lead character hops on the hood of a moving car to the tune of 'Surfin' USA.' Mercifully, 'Teen Wolf' faded quickly from everyone's memory, and car surfing faded, too."
