Rappers always need to outdo each other by pretending to get shot, buying fake guns, and talking non-stop about selling drugs. Oh yeah, don’t forget the numerous references to girls as classy and elegant women either.

Rapper T.I. took the rapper rep a little too far, and thus will get a T.O. in prison for quite some time – a year and one day to be exact.

The Atlanta federal court system sentenced the 28-year old rapper with no talent to one year in prison for weapon charges related to buying machine guns and silencers. I actually thought the sentence was intended to prevent T.I. from every making music again.

T.I., who really goes by the name Clifford Harris, will also pay over $100,000 in fines. He received the usual blue collar treatment for dudes with a lot of cash, allowing T.I. between 30-60 days to report to prison.

I would like to open up discussion to the ThingsWhitePeopleHate fan base and predict odds of T.I. skipping the slammer and going on the run.

Another odd we can bet on is whether T.I. will turn himself in closer to the 30 days or 60 days. My money is on the later.

The funny thing is people actually feel sorry for this guy who intentionally bought something you would only find on the front lines of a war. Even worse, MTV, who is the crap producing media capital of the world – dedicated a show to T.I.’s “ressurection” and swift “recovery.”

You got to be kidding me.

Ok, so maybe we are not CNN or the AP and don’t have breaking news for you as it happens, but at least our stuff is interesting and borderline offensive.  Along those lines here is some new news.  Apparently Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in jail for imprisoning a male escort.  The AP reported that:

The singer had been convicted in December of handcuffing Norwegian escort Audun Carlsen to a wall hook at his East London apartment. During the trial, prosecutors said Carlsen was held by O’Dowd (Boy George’s real name) for under an hour.  The singer denied the charge, saying he had restrained Carlsen with handcuffs while trying to figure out if a computer had been tampered with. Carlsen, 29, said O’Dowd swung at him with a metal chain as he ran from the apartment after a naked photo shoot.

That is pretty awesome.  Once the washed up entertainers get old and fat they just start handcuffing dudes to walls to ensure they are still able to get their daily dose of man loving.  Good show Boy, good show.
