No Michael Vick Jokes, I swear


Actor Ving Rhames, star of "Pulp Fiction", "Dawn of the Dead" (remake) and a hundred other roles that call for bald and brooding black men (hmmmm....thats a pretty good band name...) had the most untimely of animal accidents yesterday, when his caretaker was found dead on his front lawn, aparrently the victim of a mauling by four of Rhames' bull mastifs.
...
Alright. Lets all be mature about this (I'm looking at you, Fox News). Of course there is a titanic difference between a certain overated (soon-to-be former) pro quarterback running an interstate dog-fighting ring and an accomplished actor's sudden bout of topical misfortune. However, I'm currently organizing a pool to bet on how many times you hear a "SPECIAL REPORT" about "how safe dogs are.....(*dramatic pause*)......really?!" BUM BUM BUM. And everytime one of these journalists* leads off one of their stories with a deadpan to camera saying "But are these animals really.......man's best friend?!" you take a shot. To the temple. From a Desert Eagle.
