Maybe the Jimmy Carter-like current state of the economy (as discussed Saturday) is starting to get to more people than just me this weekend, as folks are absolutely wiggin' out!
When they're not tossing death threats at 13-year-old Internet sensation Rebecca Black (of "Friday" fame), they're pulverizing felines (allegedly) or driving buses like they were in the Daytona 500 (allegedly).
"Friday" Night Not Allright for Threatening
Sure, the song is trashy and annoying (watch the video below). And thanks to heavy use of the ol' Auto-Tune, Rebecca Black's voice is more altered than a Heidi Montag pin-up poster in a forest fire. (Hell, even I could carry a tune if I used Auto-Tune!) But is all that any reason to throw death threats Black's way, as cops in L.A. say has been happening? Obviously not.
"Friday" has been called "the worst performance ever committed to tape," but I find that description purposefully over-the-top and pretty difficult to believe (I've been called the "Worst Blog Ever," which had much more merit). "Friday" is annoying bubblegum stuff, yes. Like there's anything new about that. In any given week, at least half of the Billboard Top Ten isn't much better.
I hope they catch these scuzjackets who are sending these threats and let them do some singing of their own down in the joint for a long time to come.
They Oughta Fry This "Fur-Hating Thug"
No cat lover, here. This guy really hated kitties. Got his "Stray Cat Strut" on in ways that have to be described as, well, just a Big Bowl of Wrong (allegedly). Cops in New York say 26-year-old Garret Sloan "beat his girlfriend's kitty to death." They say this "beastly beau" first "snatched the kitty from her hands . . . and threw it to the ground."
But this cat-despising creep was only getting warmed up (allegedly). "As the tiny critter convulsed on the ground, [Sloan allegedly] picked it up again and slammed it repeatedly into the walls and stairwell" of the girlfriend's apartment building.
And this slime's animal animosity didn't stop there. Just for good measure, this cat-loathing lout reportedly admits that he then tossed the poor feline into the building's incinerator. But Sloan says that final barbaric act of domesticated detestation was justified since he claims the little kitten was already dead: "The cat died," purred Sloan the Sleaze (allegedly) to the cops.
Now Sloan may have to take his catnip in the can, since cops have busted him on aggravated animal cruelty charges. Hopefully his roomie in the ice house will be a big cat-lovin' Aryan.
Methinks He Saw "Speed" One Too Many Times
Either that, or he took fellow bus driver Ralph Kramden's expression of "shooting Alice straight to the moon" way too literally. Following a scene that must have been reminiscent of the '90s motion picture Speed, what kind of a deranged freak would push a bus to its maximum possible speed of nearly 80 MPH in a 50 MPH speed zone?!?
The National Transportion Safety Board says 40-year-old Ophadell Williams did exactly that, killing 15 people in the process in the Big Apple recently. No word whether this demented speed demon (allegedly) actually got the big bus airborne like in the movie.
The linked story doesn't specify the charges that this batty bus driver is facing, but I figure he's probably got at least a manslaughter charge hanging over his speed-lovin' head (allegedly), not to mention a one-way bus ticket straight to the hoosegow.
Maybe there, he can meet up with the "Friday" haters and the cat killer (allegedly) and have a big Speed watch party. I'll supply the Friskies, the "Friday" and the Bus Fuel. Talk about "Bad Company."

[Postscript Note: I've also tossed into the video mix below (following up on Saturday's post) "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge from the Age of Jimmy Carter, 1979. This was the adopted theme song of the 1979 World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates, led by Willie Stargell. I love that memory, and I've always loved this song. It'd be kind a boring, after all, if all I ever did was rock out!]
