(AOL Autos) -- Since there have been cars, people have chosen their rides based on what their cars say about them. AOL Autos put a list of cars before automotive industry experts to capture their take on several popular cars.

Drivers of the dependable Camry know what's important in life, says expert.

Our panel consisted of Stephanie Brinley, senior manager at Auto Pacific; James Bell, editor and publisher of IntelliChoice and Jim Markwalder, veteran automotive consultant from Detroit. Rest assured, these experts did not pull any punches.

Toyota Prius: Green no matter its color

Brinley looked through the company's vast data on the Toyota Prius .

"Buying a Prius shows the world that you love the environment and hate using fuel," said Brinley. "Compared to the overall industry, Prius buyers are more often women, have fewer kids and more often have college educations."

Bell adds, "New Prius buyers want to be part of the 'green' club."

"Prius drivers like the video-game challenge of continuously trying to best your own fuel economy achievements," said Brinley. Markwalder opines: "There's a good chance that if you come upon a line of slow moving traffic, a Prius driver will be at the front of the line, self-righteously driving under the speed limit on his or her way to save the world." We're just quoting here, folks.

Chevrolet Corvette: Performer for the mid-life crisis

The Chevy Corvette "seems to be more often a reward car. Its buyers are older than the industry average, with 88 percent born before 1946, according to Auto Pacific data. Only 11 percent of Corvette owners are in Gen Y or Gen X." Bell adds: "Sadly, the usual stereotype of the Corvette buyer as a 57-year old male deep in a mid-life crisis is proven."

Better car than its image suggests

Bell sees another side to the Corvette. "It is the absolute greatest performance bargain on the planet," said Bell. "It's an affordable giant-killer."

Markwalder adds, "There have been 1.5 million Corvettes produced since 1953, and while plenty of old guys drive them, they are an engineering marvel that will run 180 mph or return 30+ mpg highway fuel economy."

Toyota Camry: A major transportation appliance

"I think the Camry gets a bad rap for being the 'microwave oven' of the car industry," said Bell. "It's boring, reliable, efficient, and common. But to many drivers, these words are exactly all they are looking for, making the Camry their own personal rock star. A Toyota Camry in the driveway tells everyone that you know what is important in life, and it's not your car."

Dodge Challenger: The transcendent pony car

The Dodge Challenger looks more like its original than the 2010 Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro. According to Brinley, the Challenger appeals to Baby Boomers who like styling and power. But almost 30 percent of Challenger buyers are Gen X or Gen Y. Surprisingly, this beats out the Prius, a more forward-looking vehicle; only 18-percent of its buyers are Gen X or Y.

Auto Pacific's data shows that the Dodge Challenger is winning buyers too young to remember the original 1970-74 Challenger. "All ages stop and stare at this car," said Bell. "Especially when it's in Hemi Orange, from old-skool Hot Rodders to the Import Tuner crowd." This wide appeal makes pegging the Challenger owner more challenging.

Ford F-150: Working man's truck

According to Auto Pacific data, the driver of a Ford F-150 work truck (a plain, regular-cab model), is an employed man. Markwalder confirms with this: "Basic Ford trucks, like the XLT, make a good tool for the guy who works hard for an honest living." Bell adds, "We'll see fewer non-work trucks because using them for commuting has lost its shine."

Mercedes-Benz R-Class: A marketing mystery

"With 2008 sales of only 7700 vehicles, we don't have enough information about buyers to provide a strong picture of why somebody drives an R-Class," said Brinley. "The more expensive GL-Class and ML-Class SUVs each sold three times as many." Markwalder states, "The R-Class has always been a contradiction, looking like a minivan but not delivering on functionality."

Bell quips, "My experience tells me that its few buyers are attracted to its three-pointed star (badge appeal) or the large discounts because the R-Class hasn't sold well." The R-class, a "tweener" that is somewhat minivan, somewhat wagon and somewhat crossover, has few rivals. Only the Ford Flex and the new Toyota Venza seem to come close.

Experts' first thoughts

Bell on Chrysler Sebring Convertible: "I hope it's a rental." Brinley adds, "It's an old person's cars, with only four-percent of its buyers from Gen Y." Bell on the Honda Insight: "They're members of the Prius Alternative Club for Honda lovers." Markwalder on Smart ForTwo: "Experimenters with a sense of humor who would rather sprint away from a light than hold up traffic."

She told stories, flirted outrageously with boys and was constantly changing her hairstyle.

Anne Frank hid with her family in a secret room at her father Otto Frank's office in Amsterdam.

It could be the description of almost any young girl growing up in Europe. But this is how Eva Schloss remembers her childhood friend Anne Frank, who had she not died in a Nazi concentration camp, would have celebrated her 80th birthday this week.

Schloss described Frank, whose account of hiding from Jewish persecution in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam is one of the world's mostly widely-read books, as a spunky young schoolgirl with a passion for storytelling that often got her into trouble.

"She got her diary in 1942, so obviously her father knew she was interested in writing and I know she told stories," said Schloss.

"She talked a lot and she was called Mrs Quack Quack. Very often she used to write hundreds of lines [at school] of 'I'm not going to talk so much,' and so on -- but obviously she had a lot to tell."

In some ways the two friends lived parallel lives -- but tragically they had very different outcomes.  Watch more about Schloss' story Â»

Schloss and Frank both came from Jewish families who fled to Holland to escape the wave of anti-Semitism spreading across Europe as the Nazis rose to power in Germany ahead of the Second World War.

But while Schloss was more of an introvert, Frank loved the limelight. Schloss said: "I was actually quite shy and she was the center of attention. We had steps where we sat, and she had a crowd of children around her.

"She was a big flirt -- she loved boys. She was always showing us who was her boyfriend at that particular time. She was always interested in her clothes. Her style, she always changed it. Sometimes she had curls, then she had straight hair."

Schloss says they were unaware of the full scale of what was going on around them as war escalated across Europe, placing their lives in increasing jeopardy.

"Our parents really protected us so there was no talk about the horrendous things which happened.

"You couldn't go out anymore after 8 o'clock, but for a 11 to 12 year old it didn't matter so much. Or not going to the cinema -- we were upset about those little things which we couldn't do, but we really didn't really take it seriously at that time."

Like Frank, Schloss was also forced into hiding when the Nazis took control of Holland.

Frank hid with her family in a secret room at her father Otto Frank's office. But Schloss and her family had to split up. Schloss stayed with her mother while her father and brother hid elsewhere. She and her mother moved around, staying in seven different hiding places over a two-year period.

Eventually both families were betrayed and were sent to concentration camps, where Frank died at the age of 15.

Schloss said: "My father and brother were betrayed by a Dutch nurse who was a double agent, and all four of us were arrested and taken to the headquarters to be interrogated.

"I didn't know anything, which was a good thing. So eventually they realized this and they gave up torturing me. Within two days we were put on a transport to Auschwitz."

Of her family, only Schloss and her mother survived Auschwitz, one of the most notorious concentration camps, located in southern Poland.

Today Schloss, who has just celebrated her own 80th birthday, has a husband, three daughters and five grandchildren.

Schloss says it took her decades to rebuild her life, with the help of Frank's father Otto, who also survived incarceration in a concentration camp.

She met Otto in August 1945, when he showed her Frank's diary.

Schloss said: "He read a few passages but he always burst into tears. It took me 20 years. I was really unhappy, but it was Otto who came to our apartment to talk to us, and he helped me a lot. He had lost everybody.

"Her book, she [Frank] made people aware of what happened. There are many messages. She believed in the goodness of mankind.

"People always ask me, what she would have done. I guess we will never know. But I guess she would have gone into politics -- she was a fighter. It's a pity, but also -- maybe her diary would have never been published."

text: placing

text: Our

text: really

text: protected

text: so

text: there

text: was

text: no

text: about

text: the

text: horrendous

text: things

text: which

text: happened

text: You

text: could

text: n't

text: go

text: for

text: a

text: it

text: did

text: so

text: much

text: Or

text: not

text: going

text: to

text: the

text: cinema

text: we

text: were

text: upset

text: about

text: those

text: little

text: things

text: which

text: we

text: could

text: n't

text: do

text: but

text: we

text: really

text: did

text: n't

text: really

text: take

text: it

text: seriously

text: at

text: that

text: time

text: Like

text: Frank

text: Schloss

text: was

text: also

text: forced

text: into

text: hiding

text: when

text: the

text: Nazis

text: took

text: control

text: of

text: Frank

text: at

text: Otto

text: Frank

text: 's

text: But

text: Schloss

text: and

text: had

text: to

text: split

text: up

text: Schloss

text: stayed

text: mother

text: while

text: seven

text: over

text: Eventually

(EW.com) -- Spidey will cast his net across millions of TV screens during Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but that's not where Thursday's televisual treats end.

Whether you're a certified dude, a lady with a taste for the finer things, a procedural junkie, a spy fan, or someone who understands "There's always money in the banana stand," we present a list of the all that's worth watching this Turkey Day.

Fun for the Whole Family

While you're slaving over your bird bright and early, give the kids a taste of what could await them if they don't toe the line with the Style Network's "Supernanny" marathon (6 a.m.-6 p.m.) Kids will also love back-to-back "Tom & Jerry" episodes on Cartoon Network (9 a.m.-7 p.m.), and teens will be occupied by MTV's double header of "Friendzone" (9 a.m.-1 p.m.) and "Ridiculousness" (3-7 p.m.).

Dudesgiving

There's a plethora of guy-friendly fare on all day. Early risers can flip between A&E's "The First 48" marathon (8 a.m.-4 a.m. Friday) and History's 12-hour block of "Ice Road Truckers: Deadliest Roads" (8 a.m.-8 p.m.). Outdoorsy types can catch up with "Hillbilly Handfishin'" on Animal Planet (9 a.m.-5 p.m.), and weapons buffs have a choice between Discovery's two-series gun spectacular ("American Guns" from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and "Sons of Guns" from 1 p.m.-6:30 p.m.) or G4Ã¢â¬Â²s "Bomb Patrol" (1-11 p.m.). For those with a truly unquenchable blood lust, Spike TV is kicking off the day at 10 a.m. with a "Steven Seagal marathon" spearheaded by the martial arts master's 1994 eco-actioner "On Deadly Ground."

Ladies' Choice

Where better to go to appreciate your own dysfunctional family than WE tv? The lady net is airing episodes of "Braxton Family Values" from 10 a.m.-1 a.m. Friday. Past noon, the time will be right to bust our your diamonds (and perhaps even your claws) with Bravo's "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" (noon-6 p.m.), not to mention pop open the champagne with Patsy and Edina of "Absolutely Fabulous" on LOGO (1-7 p.m.). Come nightfall, BET is catching you up with its newest original offering, "Reed Between the Lines" starting at 6 p.m.

Get Your Procedural On

For those who can't get enough of procedurals, TNT is airing "Bones" all day starting at 10 a.m., followed by a "CSI: NY" marathon at 8 p.m. USA has "NCIS" fans covered (10 a.m.-8 p.m.) and Oxygen is taking the night shift with a "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" block from 7 p.m.-midnight.

Eating With Your Eyes

We have no idea how you could possibly be hungry, but in case you are, choose between TLC's "Cake Boss" and "Cake Boss: Next Great Baker" (6 a.m.-8:30 p.m.), Nadia G's "Bitchin' Kitchen" on the Cooking Channel (2-8 p.m.), and OWN's "Welcome To Sweetie Pie's" (5-11 p.m.)

The Geek Tube

Whether you geek out over music, space (the final frontier), or Buster Bluth, there's a choice for you. VH1 i showing "Pop Up Video" back-to-back from 12:30-2:30 p.m., and Fuse is airing its MC series "Beef" from 6 a.m.-5 p.m. Over on BBC America, spend the day with Captain Picard on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (8 a.m.-5 a.m. Friday). Perhaps most thankful of all, fans can eagerly anticipate the 2013 return of "Arrested Development" with 12 hours of the show on IFC (6 a.m.-6:30 p.m.).

Just Like Old Times

The end of the year always lends itself to a bit of nostalgia, so why not embrace the remembrance of things past with some old classics? Syfy presents its annual "James Bond Marathon" (8 a.m.-5:30 a.m. Friday), spanning 44 years from 1964Ã¢â¬Â²s "Goldfinger" to 2008Ã¢â¬Â²s "Quantum of Solace." Over on AMC, catch the first two "Godfather" movies (it's best to forget about that third one anyway) from 11:30 a.m.-8 p.m. And if you're looking for a little bit lighter fare, look no further than Don Knotts. TV Land will show back-to-back episodes of "The Andy Griffith Show" (8 a.m.-6:48 p.m.).

(CNN) -- In the black market of prison life, cell phones have become perhaps the hottest commodity. Now, Texas is among a growing number of state governments going after them.

Hundreds of contraband cell phones were found behind bars or in transit to Texas inmates in 2008.

Tiny, easy to hide and an unmonitored link for convicts to the outside world, cell phones are valuable contraband, fetching a greater asking price from convicts than some shipments of illegal drugs.

John Moriarty, inspector general for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, said that one phone can fetch as much as $2,000.

"It takes one crooked prison worker to populate a whole prison unit with them," he said.

More than 1,200 wireless phones sit in law enforcement evidence rooms, all found behind bars or in transit to Texas inmates in 2008.

Moriarty is the investigator and bloodhound the state of Texas uses to trail the illegal traffic.

"These are not stupid people," he said of the coordinated efforts to slip phones into the prison and hide them. "There are a lot of hands in between and they all want a piece of the action."

Accomplices on the outside vary from family members, to friends to fellow criminals who buy or steal the phones and charge them with minutes.

The contraband is then moved through an elaborate series of drop points and usually ferried into the walls of a prison by a guard or trustee -- an escape engineered in reverse. Finding the dirty prison employee is often the key.

"Some of these guys make next to nothing, so you can see how easy it could be to corrupt them," Moriarty said.

State Sen. John Whitmire, a Houston Democrat and the chair of the state senate's Criminal Justice Committee, became an ally of Moriarty's after one phone call in October.

He picked up a phone slip from his secretary and called the number on it -- only to realize he had returned a call to a death row inmate's cell phone.

The inmate, he said, was Richard Tabler -- a convicted double murderer who was sharing a wireless phone with nine other inmates.

"At first I thought it was a hoax," said Whitmire, who said he called the state justice board and "read them the riot act."

Whitmire is one of the sponsors of a bill in the Texas Legislature that would crack down on convicts caught with phones and allow prison systems to monitor and detect cell signals. It's en route to Gov. Rick Perry's desk after clearing both houses of the legislature this week.

Other efforts are under way at both the state and federal level.

In January, U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady, a Texas Republican, introduced legislation that would let prisons jam cell-phone signals within their walls.

Last month, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley asked the federal government for permission to do so in his state.

Prison officials in Arizona are training dogs to sniff out cell phones.

(CNN) -- A Florida man is using billboards with an image of the burning World Trade Center to encourage votes for a Republican presidential candidate, drawing criticism for politicizing the 9/11 attacks.

Businessman Mike Meehan says he has put up three billboards such as this one around Orlando, Florida.

"Please Don't Vote for a Democrat" reads the type over the picture of the twin towers after hijacked airliners hit them on September, 11, 2001.

Mike Meehan, a St. Cloud, Florida, businessman who paid to post the billboards in the Orlando area, said former President Clinton should have put a stop to Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda before 9/11. He said a Republican president would have done so.

"I believe 9/11 could have been prevented if we'd had a Republican president at the time," Meehan said Wednesday on CNN's "American Morning."

But Democrats and Republicans are saying Meehan shouldn't be using a 9/11 image to make a political point.

"This is a blatant exploitation of that terrible tragedy for political and, perhaps even worse, personal gain," Bill Robinson, the Orange County, Florida, Democratic Party chairman told CNN affiliate WFTV-TV in Orlando.

The local Republican Party called the billboard "inappropriate," according to WFTV.

"There are many ways to convey the importance of national security in this election without going to extremes, and we encourage a constructive dialogue," the Florida Republican Party said in a statement Tuesday.

According to Meehan, President Bush has done "an excellent job ... going after these terrorists."  Watch Meehan's take on terrorism and the election Â»

"You got to remember all the ... people that George Bush did catch and how much success he did have. And we haven't had an attack on this soil since 9/11," Meehan said.

"Unlike Bill Clinton, who actually had bin Laden right in his hand and through the CIA and other high officials decide to get him go," Meehan said.

In a 2006 interview with "Fox News Sunday," Clinton said he authorized the killing of bin Laden in 2000 after the attack on the Navy warship USS Cole in Yemen, but the order was never carried out because U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies refused to certify that bin Laden was behind the Cole attack.

"I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since," Clinton said in the 2006 interview.

Meehan also is using the billboard to promote his Web site, the republicansong.com, where he's trying to sell copies of his song, "Please Don't Vote for a Democrat."

The song goes beyond the national security issue, ripping Democrats on taxation and energy issues, too.

"They want to take the money from the hard workin' man, and give it to the lazy folks that don't give a damn," Meehan sings.

Another verse takes on the oil issue.

"We're not fightin' for oil, we got plenty if we drill it," he sings.

The song's not a moneymaker, he said, just an effort to recoup some of what he's invested in the billboards.

A copy of the song on CD cost $5 on the Web site, and the site points out that Meehan can be hired to perform at a "concert, party, meeting or event."

"I'm willing to pay the cost for the fact that our soldiers that have died protecting this country have paid a heck of a lot more than what these billboards cost," Meehan told "American Morning."

Florida resident Mary Anderson told WFTV she doesn't see politics when she's looking at the billboard.

"Just looking at it, I'm not thinking about Democrat or Republican, I'm thinking about the twin towers and all the people killed," she told WFTV.

(CNN) -- Three years ago, the film based on Dan Brown's novel "The Da Vinci Code" was the focus of protest and controversy, with a Vatican archbishop calling for a boycott and Catholics at many levels refuting plot points.

From left, actors Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer and Ewan McGregor join director Ron Howard at the film's premier.

But when it comes to the new film based on a Brown novel, "Angels & Demons," star Tom Hanks says talk of controversy is much ado about nothing.

"Everybody is looking for some scandal whether a scandal exists or not," Hanks said of the film. "I think a kind of natural reaction is now that somehow because it's the second Robert Langdon mystery that there is some degree of controversy over it. And there is really not."

The movie ventures into similar waters as its predecessor, "The Da Vinci Code," with Hanks reprising the role of Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbology expert, and conspiracy theories galore.  Watch Hanks talk aboout the controversy Â»

It also reunites the Academy Award-winning actor with director Ron Howard, who helmed "Da Vinci," and teams Hanks with actor Ewan McGregor and Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer.

While "The Da Vinci Code" centered on the complex investigation of a murder in the Louvre and the theory that a marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene produced descendants, the new film features a murder at the Vatican and a secret and powerful society known as the "Illuminati."

McGregor,  known for his role as a young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the "Star Wars" films, said that while "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons" are inextricably linked, the latter can stand on its own.

"If I thought [Angels & Demons] was pinned to 'The Da Vinci Code' in some way then it would've been a lesser script to read and it wasn't," McGregor said. "It's a standalone movie ... it's not relevant whether you've seen 'Da Vinci Code' or not."

Both films, like the Brown novels they're based on, have been met with criticism for their melding of history and storytelling.

"I have a strong objection to the genre of mixing fact with fiction," said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League. "You've got [Dan] Brown, [Ron] Howard and [Tom] Hanks in the movie all alleging that the Illuminati was this secret society which was brutalized by the Catholic Church in the 1600s."

"It's all a lie," Donohue said. "[The Illuminati] never even existed until May 1, 1776, but they have to pitch it back into the 1600s so they can trot out their favorite victim, Galileo. What happens is you get the audience thinking 'Well, maybe it's not all true, but probably some of it is true.' "

Ted Baehr, founder of Movieguide and the Christian Film & Television Commission, first issued an advisory alert about the film in April and reiterated it days before the movie's May 15 release.

"Now that we've previewed 'Angels & Demons,' Movieguide has decided to keep in effect our caution alert," Baehr said. "Faith is often denied throughout the movie."

Director Howard wrote in the The Huffington Post that he believes Donohue is on a mission "to paint me and the movie I directed, 'Angels & Demons,' as anti-Catholic," a claim Howard emphatically denies.

The director told CNN that he attempted to reach out to the Catholic Church regarding the film, but had no success. He also downplayed reports that Rome and the Vatican tried to hinder filming.

Hanks said shooting the movie in the ancient city was complicated given the vibrancy of Rome. At one point, Hanks said, make-believe collided with one woman's fairy tale.

"We had a lady showing up who was getting married at the Pantheon and she had to get married and we had to get our shot," Hanks said. "She showed up right between shots, when we were moving cameras."

Fortunately, both the wedding and the day's filming were able to be completed, Hanks said.

McGregor said Howard was to be credited for how well the production came together. Howard's background as an actor undoubtedly helped enhance the actors' performances, McGregor said.

"A lot of directors are able to tell you what they're after, but Ron's able to tell you what he's after and help you for how you might play that ... which is kind of total directing," McGregor said.

Zurer said she had a blast being the only female lead in the film.

Viewers should see the film for what it is, she said, and not focus on the controversy.

"It's fun fiction," she said. "It's a fun movie to watch, it's thrilling and that's what I saw in it."
