Why, yes, I do want to hurt him.

"Robbie, you'd better get in here..they're starting to turn on George."

"YOU SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"

Let’s not forget this classic headline,

Boy George will be picking up street trash for five days

[facedown]

So now he's picking it up instead of making it.

[Names Ash Housewares]

heh heh, how about that, trash picking up trash.

[callthemlikeyouseethem]

where's the ACLU? ...;)

[Paleo Conservative]

Wasn't picking up trash how he got arrested?

Nope. That's George Micheal. Boy George called the cops claiming someone broke into his home and the cops found his coke stash.

From the article: The singer, born George O'Dowd, was ordered to spend five days working for the Department of Sanitation after pleading guilty in March to falsely reporting a burglary at his lower Manhattan apartment. The officers who responded found cocaine instead.

Oops!

...and this is different from his normal love life how?

:-D )))

Just another overweight, pretentious has-been or in my estimation never-was.

"This is supposed to be making me humble. Let me do this," he said. "I just want to do my job."

He may be a fruitcake but apparently the judge's punishment is doing it's job. I say leave the guy alone.

Apparently he's managed his cash somewhat decently since he still can afford to live in Manhatten.

I wonder if Michael George is hiding in the bushes waiting for BG to take his 15 min break?

Among his other proposals to the court: holding a fashion and makeup workshop, serving as a DJ at an HIV/ AIDS benefit or doing telephone outreach.

There's nothing like busting rocks to clear one's head. OK, he's probably not up to that, but street sweeping is the next best thing.

ROFL. Do they not have editors or was that intentional?

[BJClinton]

No, that was a different gay George.

[Condor 63]

O'Dowd, 45, initially envisioned a service project more in line with his status as an '80s icon.

He petitioned to spend the time helping teenagers make a public service announcement. Among his other proposals to the court: holding a fashion and makeup workshop, serving as a DJ at an HIV/ AIDS benefit or doing telephone outreach.

In other words things that are laughably easy or that he wants to do.

Kinda takes the sting out of the punishment aspect George.

With all that's going on in the world, this makes news??
