I was conversing with a co-worker of mine a few minutes ago (Amy), and she was saying that it seems that if you're rich and famous, you get carte blanche to be an asshole and the rules that apply to common man don't apply to you. I asserted that that's 100% true. In fact, the only people who ever get jail time for their actions are if you're Bobby Brown or people associated with the rap industry. Think about it...Capone, Keith Murrey, Suge Knight, 2Pac, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Trick Daddy, Luther Campbell, Slick Rick, Flesh N Bone (this cat stays locked up)...
But, if you're a rock star, sports star (regular athletes can get it too), or a Hollywood celebrity, you're immune. Think not? Let's review shall we?
O. J. Simpson- If he ain't do it, he knows who did. But we're all pretty sure...that mufucka did it!
R. Kelly- Video evidence that mufucka did it. Multiple incidents and angles of alleged pedophilia, yet he is probably making more money now than ever in his career between the Chocolate Factory LP, the remixes, and the guest production (Marcus Houston, Nick Cannon, B2K, etc.).
Robert Downey, Jr.- Among his many drunken and drugged out offenses, dude was caught ass naked in somebody's house he ain't even know. Breaking and entering and indecent exposure.
Martha Stewart- Insider trading, caught post-Enron when everybody is mad sensitive about corporate nonsense. She's still cooking on her show every day.
Rob Lowe- Did porn, I believe with an underaged girl. Has recently been on two TV shows, most recently The Lyon's Den, and NBC's hit, The West Wing
Paul "Pee Wee Herman" Reubens- Decided he'd take it upon himself to masturbate on stage in front of an entire theatre of perverts who were already masturbating to the porn that was playing right behind him. "Hey, is that Pee Wee playing with his wee wee? Wow, that's an awkard moment...I'm done here."
Kobe Bryant- He'll walk...and his wife will divorce him shortly therafter citing public embarrassment and scrutiny as one her primary reasons. She'll take him for about 60% of his worth and get a ridiculous amount of dough for child support per month (Will Smith reportedly paid $20,000 per month before he got custody of his son).
Marilyn Manson- Reportedly urinates on "stoked" concert goers.
Alyssa Milano- Did porn...hmmm...never mind.
Hey speaking of which, I heard that a long time ago, Thelma from Good Times did a flick...say what you want, I'd have to see that joint. What?! Half ya'll jokers not only saw the R. Kelly debacle, you own(ed) a copy!!!! And what?! Back me up Bru, Thelma from Good Times...bucket nekkid...am I wrong? I mean c'mon folks, we grown right? Well, you in the back, you're not...what are you doing here?! Yo mama know you been sneakin' in here...oh yeah, well how bout I tell her anyway? Excuse me ma'am...
