The Dangers of Underestimating Mexican Serial Killers
1999-06-28 21:56:48
With blatently racist overtones, Kentucky's fatbelly police are warning people not to take suspected serial killer Rafael Resendez-Ramirez for granted. "Just because he's Mexican don't mean he don't know nothin'," said Sgt. Mark Benard. "As shocking as it may seem, some Mexicans are pretty clever."
The meaty Sgt. describes Ramirez as "street smart," citing his history of tutoring individuals in algebra, geometry and English [yeah, you learn a lot of algebra in el barrio, we've heard]. One can only imagine that Ramirez is quite astute when it comes to the logarithms of the streets. He has been known to gang sign the quadratic equation to other members of the vagabond serial-killer world.
Authorities have also advised against anyone attempting any "heroic" acts due the mysterious nature of what they see as a rare phenomenon -- an educated, intelligent Mexican.
One would-be vigilante explained, "Wulp, we figured since he was just yer typical crazy, stupid mesican that we could just set up some tin cans, ya know, on a string and hang 'em alongside the railroad tracks all sneaky like. Then, when he jumped off the train all drunk like (coz dem wetbacks are alwayz drunk) he would get all tied up, make all sorts o racket and we would hear him from our shack right o'er yonder and have nuff time to git 'em wit da shotgun!
"I guess that ain't gonna work now since they's sayin' he real smart like. At least we got us sum good eats one night when a 'coon got all tangled up in der. Woo-hoo! was them sum GOOD eats!"

My dear and close friend, Porn Maven Shannon Mariemont, sent me a titillating message the other day about her new project: the PornOrchestra. Her desire, at most, is to reinvent the porn soundtrack and, at least, to receive a cease-and-desist order like all her cool friends did last year. (More...)
Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)

It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)
