Making midweek merry with MultiCultClassics Minutes…
• A few weeks ago, community activist Najee Ali led protests against billboards for the new 50 Cent movie. Now reports claim he was allegedly beaten by bodyguards of Nation of Islam Minister Tony Muhammad. Bet Ali wishes he had Fiddy’s piece handy during the incident.
• Michael Jackson may occasionally visit the U.S., but he’ll probably decide to live elsewhere. Jackson’s father claims the superstar has received numerous threats in the States. So it looks like the King of Pop will remain in exile for now.
• Toyota has decided to put the brakes on running commercials during FX drama Nip/Tuck, bowing to pressure from an activist group. Ironically, the carmaker could definitely benefit from an advertising facelift.
• Bill O’Reilly is still acting like an idiot, feuding with Hispanic columnists in Dallas and Denver. Part of the battling revolves around O’Reilly allegedly agreeing with a caller on his radio show, stating that Mexican immigrants are essentially “biological weapons.” As if the verbal excrement repeatedly firing from O’Reilly’s throat aren’t toxic bombs.
• One observation about the new Cartoon Network series The Boondocks: Why did the censors bleep everything from shit to motherfucker, yet permit nigger to flow freely for 30 minutes straight?
