morning headlines

OK GO – has made another video for ‘This Too Shall Pass’, this one built around a Rube Goldberg machine that took 4 months to build. It’s a panoply of complex triggers and engineering. In related news, I learned the word “panoply” yesterday. (billboard)

BLANKET JACKSON – was almost murdered! (not really!) by Jermaine Jacksons 13yo old son who wanted to test out a new stun gun. The Jackson family is denying this report, saying no children were ever in danger. Their denial sounds convincing, perhaps because they’ve been practicing that same one for 45 years now. (tmz and the ap)

LIL WAYNE – is the latest victim of over-criminalization, but he got a brief reprieve from his prison sentence yesterday and spent the night on stage in NYC with Jay Z. His reign of terror of blatantly standing near things will end later today when he turns himself over to the NKVD I mean American government. (rolling stone)

NAOMI CAMPBELL – will not be arrested after a limo driver reported that she punched him in the back of the head. This is at least the fifth time charges have been brought against her for assault. I say we give more time for sanctions to work. (the ap)
