  • Rapper Foxy Brown announced that she has suffered sudden, near-total hearing loss over the last few months. Doctors will attempt restorative surgery in the new year—I sure hope it works, because there aren’t many Ebonics-based sign language materials on the market. [AP]
  • Ashlee Simpson, whose name is an anagram for “piss-semen halo,” collapsed backstage after a “live” “performance” in Tokyo. Fortunately it was just food poisoning from the notorious L. lohanii bacterium, which means Ashlee will be okay within approximately five minutes. [AP]
  • And the advocacy group Reporters Without Borders is criticizing the Kazakh government for pulling the plug on Ali G‘s “official” website for his Kazakh character, Borat Sagdiyev. Jesus, how many “Without Borders” groups do they have these days? Dr. Sanjay Gupta can’t WAIT til they have Proctologists Without Borders. [AP]

    I think your comment about “ebonics based sign language” is very racist and inappropriate.

    I second the comment about Foxy Brown being racist and inappropriate. I love this website and I like the sick humor, but whats the point of that? What she is going through is truly sad and heartbreaking. You know what even besides the fact that the joke is tasteless, its not even funny.

    About the L.lohanii joke… HILARIOUS!

    Keep up the great work!
