Essay 4225


Styling and profiling with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• The dry cleaners originally sued for $54 million over losing a Washington man’s pants are now hoping to raise money for their legal fees—by displaying the infamous trousers (pictured above). The storeowners owe about $100,000, and the fundraising event netted nearly $64,000 in donations. The moron who filed the lawsuit must be shitting his pants right now.

• G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo, charged with beating up a 14-year-old kid for wearing a sweatshirt with the logo of a rival recording company (see Essay 1901), rejected a plea deal that would have required a nine-month jail sentence. “It’s not even a good deal for a guilty person,” griped Yayo’s lawyer. Yayo should try to raise legal defense funds by displaying the offending sweatshirt.

• A study released by the Pew Hispanic Center showed only 13 percent of all Latinos voted in 2006, versus 27 of all Blacks and 39 percent of all Whites. Somebody needs to raise those numbers.
