Idol hands...
Did everyone catch Denton's own Daron Beck serenading America (and Gene Simmons) on American Idol last night? The former Meat Helmet/Golden Viper belted out his version of "I Put A Spell On You," prompting some advice from the judges: "You should be wearing women's underwear and red lipstick."

Duh. Sounds like they have seen him perform before.

Well, he certainly put a spell on us. (P.S. we've got some Meat Helmets here and here.)

Boys will be (stabbing other) boys.
In the fifth grade I participated in (okay, ring-led) a dirty Mad Lib about a classmate. He didn't think it was so funny; he told on me (you SUCK, Zach!!) and it was confiscated and shown to my parents. I thought that was pretty harsh punishment at the time. Until...

Two boys were arrested for stick figure drawings. "One drawing showed the two boys standing on either side of the other boy and "holding knives pointed through" his body... Another drawing showed a stick figure hanging, tears falling from his eyes, with two other stick figures standing below him. Other pieces of scrap paper listed misspelled profanities..."

I'm not saying it isn't a little disturbing. It's not "Danny isn't here, Mrs. Torrance" disturbing, or "Red Rum!" disturbing, but yes, it's a little scary when your nine year-old son is drawing pictures of murdering another kid.

But charged with a felony? For stick figures and misspelled curse words?!! I mean, how do they know that other kid isn't a "dikk-smokeing doo doo face?"

"I support their arrest; not so much on the grounds given as much as I hate shitty art."
