[kj] OT: Motley Crue sue manager for US $20 mil for "poor career guidance"

[Brendan]

Fuck what a pathetic bleat, as if he didn't have a choice to go on those
shows. I watched a couple of episodes, (in the way that you can't help
watching a car crash), and he was WILLINGLY sucking satan's dick.

Pretty amazing that it damaged his reputation, perhaps there's some hope
for the people who watch those shows...

And Motley Crüe 'Heavy Metal'...whatever.
