Today’s Lesson: If you are famous, you get cut lots of slack

This is INSANE. If I was a felon and then was caught purchasing unregistered machine guns, can bet your ass I would be up in the clink for a few years.
But, going par for the course, rapper T.I. (real name Clifford Harris) has avoided a “lengthy prison sentence” by agreeing to perform 1,000 hours of community service (while being able to live at his plush mansion) and must tell kids “not to make the same mistakes he did”. He then has to spend 1 year in prison.
Of course, those mistakes will most certainly be well-documented (and profitted off of) in his forthcoming albums, where the music will fly in the face of his commuted sentence. So, kids remember, if T.I. says “don’t use guns” to you on a tv commercial, that is what he REALLY FEELS, if he says “I hit’em up with my A-K” blasted in a car stereo, THAT is just entertainment.
