mmm...om nom nom nom
looks tastier then a badly packed kebab!
50 Cent is none too impressed that Twitpic last night objected to a snap of of his "Kim K burger" and decided it'd probably be better if they suspended his account altogether. He gaily twittered "Yall like my Kim K burger?", and posted a link to the offending photograph, which rapidly resulted in Twitpic expulsion. A couple …
"Man when I figure out how to use the spell Check on this motherfucker you niggas in trouble."
OK, anyone who thinks he's being serious about this needs their sarcasm detector checked.
Nevertheless, I anticipate a flood of people
a) Saying that Fitty doesn't deserve to be famous because he doesn't write well
b) Saying that rap isn't music
c) Ranting about his mock threats as if they're serious
I should note that, for the record, Mr. Cent got shot nine times at once, which is nine times more than most pop-rappers, and gives him at least some "street cred", as the kids say these days.
You also don't get where he is without working, really, really, really hard - say what you will about his grammar, talent, or judgment, he's definitely not lazy.

So you mean all these years I've been trying to be cool and hip by smoking, playing loud music and swearing I've been wasting my time? No wonder the rad kids didn't like me, I hadn't been shot nine times. Feck, my life is all but wasted.
Hold on a minute, maybe if I catch a flight to Cape Town and go and taunt some car jackers my life will be worth living again.
You really have to be in the wrong place, at the VERY wrong time to get shot here. Get into an argument with the wrong person of course and a doctor will spend hours sewing you back together after being worked over with a broken bottle, but shot? Not likely.
I used to hear (mid 90's) gunshots in Pretoria fairly often, but never in Cape Town...
I left Cape Town in 1992 but lived there for 8 years in all. Got woken once in around 1990 by a limpet mine exploding down the road (at Wynberg Magistrates court).
I heard shooting twice in Cape Town during the time I was there. Once was a cop shooting at a car and the other was me shooting at a thief.
I was in Pretoria/Jhb from 1984-87 and heard a lot more shooting there.
is THAT why I keep seeing the otherwise unremarkable Kardashian chicks everywhere? Because they were born with hamburger genitals? Shouldn't they be in a carnie tent somewhere, charging $5 a head to "See the woman with a real hamburger bun"?
Beer icon, becuz it's Friday, and pirates get thirsty.
As I found out many years ago, you can use your butt to steer a barge. Just wedge the tiller between your butt-cheeks, adopt a comfortable stance facing forward and leaning back slightly; then you have both hands free to eat a sandwich and drink a beer (or food/beverage of personal choice).
If you get your stance adjusted properly, you can turn your upper body to the right, whereupon the barge will steer proportionally to the right, and vice versa. At the time, as far as I could see, nobody else was steering in that way.
BBC America happened to show it just last weekend. It turns out to my surprise, he's pretty sharp and has a hell of a sense of humo(u)r. He kept up with Graham and wasn't just there to sell a record or a book. That's about all I know about him, though, since I don't listen to music much.
"....he has a management team? When are they going to tell him to stop "singing"?"
Well, 50 cent has an estimated net worth of $440 million. So, he doesn't need to sing anymore, but I think he management team would like him to continue doing what he is doing, because it is a lot more successful any of the people reading The Reg, let alone writing for it.
Kim Kardashian is only a worth a paltry $12 million. But even with a stash that small, she doesn't need to care about any of you.
