Rapper 50 Cent 'Offended' by Novak's Language
Conservative pundit Bob Novak, suspended indefinitely by CNN for using a profanity on the air, received some harsh criticism from another quarter today as the rapper 50 Cent said he was "offended" by Mr. Novak's language.

At a press conference in Washington today, the platinum-selling rap artist expressed outrage at Mr. Novak's televised outburst, saying that it represented "a troubling lowering of the standards of discourse" and a "coarsening of the culture in general."

"I was sitting down to watch CNN with my children, as I always do," Mr. Cent told reporters, "and when I heard Bob Novak's remark, well, all I can say is that I was deeply, deeply offended."

1. Link?
And maybe let people know this is satire, for the severely gullible among us? ;)

3. Actaully if 50 Cent were sharp
he'd do exactly this - or actaully Ludicrus is the one who should.
