Proof of unintelligent life in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• The cops have proof in the Proof shooting after all (see Essay 528). The rapper apparently shot first, hitting someone in the head before catching a bullet in his own head. Which is proof that everyone involved had good aim.
• Michael Jackson is doing some serious refinancing to avoid bankruptcy — including creating a deal to release part of the rights to his coveted collection of Beatles’ hits. Wonder how long before the Elephant Man’s remains show up on eBay.
• A new study revealed that American fast food restaurants’ French fries and chicken goodies have more trans fat than similar items abroad. “I was very surprised to see a difference in trans fatty acids in these uniform products,” said one researcher. “It’s such an easy risk factor to remove.” Not when Mickey D’s thinks it’s easier to add a McNugget to its Super-Size packs to make more profit.
• A Saudi-Arabian couple from Colorado agreed to pay back wages to an Indonesian woman who was essentially their slave. The slave woman was sexually abused and even loaned out to other families. Even if they pay the back wages, the couple still faces charges of kidnapping, sexual assault, false imprisonment and extortion. Plus, offers for their own reality TV show from the FX and Bravo networks.
on the proof shooting: seen an episode of the sopranos lately? is it life imitating art or the other way around? gun violence lends to street cred. i wonder what being dead lends itself to?
