There is an interesting subtext to this whole fiasco. "Rich" is no longer the exclusive club it used to be. The middle class is now the lower class, the upper middle and most of the upper class are now the middle, and the real exclusives are the 1%ers like Ja Rule, McFarland, and the "influencers" that promoted this thing. The former rich are now being screwed over by the ultra rich just like the rest of us. $12000 might buy you an exclusive ticket to a Bahamian music festival, but it does not buy you the phone call that tells you to avoid it.

The greatest thing that could come of all of this is if:
-Everyone sued the gently caress out of Ja Rule and the promoters in a colossal class action suit and won, bankrupting the defendants and destroying their present and future lives;
-The lawyers took 30%;
-The judge gave the plaintiffs $50 each and awarded the rest to a foundation that advocates maturity and ethical behavior.
That's my hope, at least.

She and her supporters get extremely huffy whenever people bring up why exactly she was in jail in the first place: kidnapping and torturing some guy to death.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I like the montage babushka pedestrians towards the end, every one of them gets back up giving no fucks. Are those big coats made out of Kevlar or something?

I don't think this is new? You always needed a huge amount of money to keep up a celebrity lifestyle for more than a few years, as a lot of people who won the lottery find out.

Looks like it finally paid off for Zach Holmes, that fat guy who did those terrible things to himself (the firework suicide vest, flare gun to the nuts, ect.)
He never looked like he was having any fun, but now he got to do a video with steve-O and got a sponsorship too.

looks happy in this video even though he is getting covered in cactus and kicked in the nuts.
