Link Me Up Before You Go Go

I had wanted to write something else before last week ended and I just didn't have time. So later this week you'll get a new article chock full of goodness. But for now, it's Links time, baby!

If the LA Riots weren't, California police officers have decided to up the anti. Well, maybe just add insult to injury. Some San Francisco cops decided to make a video for their Christmas party in which they were shown making fun of blacks, asians, women, gays and transgenders. Not only that, but in one scene they run over a homeless black woman with a car. I can only assume it was a dummy. Man, even the gay cops hate gays. What's happening with this world? Running over the homeless woman I can understand, they're God's forgotten people, but the transgenders? Don't they have enough to worry about like their faux vaginas collapsing?

For all those that are lovers of theater, and Shakespeare in general, you'll absolutely love this little number. A nonprofit youth agency on the north side of Chicago is apparently putting on an "In Da Hood" version of Hamlet. Some of the changes include Hamlet's father running a club instead of a kingdom, Hamlet's uncle goes to jail instead of Hamlet killing him, and the big sword fight ending gets replaced by breakdancing dance-off. Leave it to the hoodrats to combine You Got Served with an international treasure. Big Willy is probably rolling in his grave. Not because someone is interpreting his play differently with a modern twist, but because black people roam the the streets freely. One can only assume Shakespeare was a bigoted asshole. There, I said it. He's a racist prick. Black power!!

London is saying goodbye to its trademark red doubledecker Routemaster buses. Sadly the buses that have helped tourists and locals get about the city, without ever having to stop, is stopping its service after over 60 years. Tis a sad day indeed. Though I suppose England didn't like to be associated with a really heavy menstrual cycle that never ended. Lots of red running constantly. That'd be a hard stigma to shake. So the obvious solution to stop the bleeding are many giants tampons by way of modern, safer buses. Don't be scurred though, a couple of the old doubledeckers will still run on "heritage" routes for your enjoyment. Finely, a nice gentle cycle like all the other countries. Way to act like a lady, England. It's about freakin' time.

Once again the South has proven us all right. A woman from Tennessee hired a hitman to kill four guys who possessed a block of cheese that she thought was cocaine. Little did she know that the hitman was an undercover cop. Way to go, Tennessee. Can you do anything right? Seriously, besides Graceland and Jack Daniels, what do you contribute to society? A block of cheese. How could anyone confuse that with cocaine? Though I suppose it is as addictive as a good brie. OMG, I luv it w/ crackers. Me n brie r like BFF, LOL!
