More clueless people

The "clueless people" feature could certainly be a regular, and infinitely entertaining, feature of this website, but I'm not sure I have that much skin on my forehead, which constantly slams against the desk after I read these stories.

Onward.

An LA Times columnist shares some of the comments from bigoted Mel Gibson supporters he received after writing about the mad actor.

The pretty 20-year-old daughter of New York state senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno went missing last week. It took cops until this week to find her "wandering around Times Square with a self-declared pimp" whom she had met on... wait for it... MySpace. His profile there read:

My name is Jazzo and my interests in myspace is to meet beautiful young women that want to travel and get down wit a playa.

Seems to me like he delivered on that promise, and indeed, "Police were investigating if the admitted 30-year-old pimp had committed a crime relating to Rachel Bruno's disappearance." Hey, if tricking people into surrendering their youth and vitality to rapacious businessmen was a crime, the fast food industry would have been outlawed long ago.

Somebody give that girl a book deal, okay?

In Germany, a woman called 911 -- or whatever passes for 911 there -- to complain her husband would not... let's see, how did Mr. Jazzo put it? -- get down with her.
