    What's worse?

    I guess the answer depends on whether you're black or not.

    The white kids were given a three day suspension. They should have been charged with hate crimes and given some good old fashioned Starman justice.
     
  2. And, of course, the white students just decided one day to hang a noose from the "whites only" tree after a black kid sat at the "whites only" tree because that's what you do when a black kid sits under the "whites only" tree in 2007, and nobody learned that behavior from an existing local culture of racism.

    My point was, on seems a little bit more important to talk about and pay attention to. Are Jesse Jetstream and Captain Pimp involved? Yes, but what the hell'd ya' expect. I'm not picking sides on either side of this issue because it seems like everyone nationally is playing catch up with this issue this week. But dammit, to have a now 19-page thread on an attention whore while this has been basically ignored here all week is just flat out sad. But I guess I should be happy that it wasn't about Britney.
     
  4. More fun with Tasers.

    No charges except disorderly conduct?
    Wonderful.

    Well, I see what you mean, FB...I guess I need to use a better word than that. I have read the stories, I think what is happening is total BS< but as soon as the pimps start fellating the mics to hear the sound of their own voices, they lose me. In a hurry.

    No no. That teen must have been an attention whore therefore he deserved it.

    That's a pretty skimpy story. Is there not a police report on the incident?

    I'm surprised he stopped short of saying that he jacked his meat to it.
     
  10. That's for associate producers, on the phone, late at night.

    How wrong is it, on a scale of 1-10, that I want one of those bumper stickers?
     
  12. You, zeke?
    One.
