This should be the “Asinine item of the day” that we publish Monday-Friday at 6:00 PM Central and Saturday at 1:00 PM Central, you will soon find out why. But, believe it or not, we actually have an item more asinine than this that we’ll be posting later today in that feature.
Imagine you’re a nightclub singer specializing in ’70′s Disco, you’re singing a song, a song that was a #1 hit in 1974, and two people, yes, that’s right. Two people get all pussy on you and are “offended” so they call the cops, they show up, and you’re busted for “suspicion of racially aggravated harassment.” How sick is that?
As unbelievable and ludicrous as this sounds, it actually happened. I can’t believe a cop would actually respond to a call like this, let alone make an arrest. Talk about chickenshit keystone kops hiding behind a plastic badge at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.
via the Daily Mail:
A pub singer has been arrested on suspicion of racism for singing the classic chart hit Kung Fu Fighting.
The song, performed by Simon Ledger, 34, is said to have offended two Chinese people as they walked past the pub where he was singing.
The entertainer regularly performs the 1974 number one, originally by disco star Carl Douglas, at the Driftwood Beach Bar in Sandown, Isle of Wight.
But after one of the passers-by reported his routine on Sunday afternoon, Mr Ledger was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated harassment.
No, we aren’t quite as bad as the U.K., but this is the direction the PC crowd wants to take us. Make no mistake about it.
So… to those two that were “offended” I have to blow the dust off, and whip out the Carl Douglas classic from 1974, “Kung Fu Fighting.” Enjoy!
