It was only a matter of time before TERRY RICHARDSON embraced his inner guido. Amazing…

Hard to believe that a comic book sales record could be set at the peak of an unprecedented “recession,” but that’s exactly what happend this week when a near pristine copy of ACTION COMICS #1 featuring the debut of SUPERMAN traded hands anonymously for the princely sum of $1 million USD. Previous books have fetched in the $500K range but the high 8.0 grade of this museum quality example “warranted” its excessive pricetag. If we had to guess, we’d place newly broke actor Nic Cage in the room for this transaction as he’s been selling off his incredible comic book collection for a minute now and even has a son named (wait for it) Kal-El, after Superman’s true birthname. We really can’t help but wonder, though, what someone in Haiti would think of this news…

Menace 2 Society: NYC Police led this 12-year-old girl out of her classroom in handcuffs for doodling on her desktop…

Increasingly, harsh zero tolerance policies towards graffiti and other offenses in US schools are seeing grade school-aged children being treated with harsh adult-style police discipline inside the actual classroom. This problem was exemplified when, incredibly, a 12-year-old NYC girl with a spotless record was physically arrested in her classroom for doodling on her desktop this month:

GIRL’S ARREST FOR DOODLING RAISES CONCERNS ABOUT ZERO TOLERANCE
By Stephanie Chen, CNN February 18, 2010

(CNN) — There was no profanity, no hate. Just the words, “I love my friends Abby and Faith. Lex was here 2/1/10 ” scrawled on the classroom desk with a green marker.

Alexa Gonzalez, an outgoing 12-year-old who likes to dance and draw, expected a lecture or maybe detention for her doodles earlier this month. Instead, the principal of the Junior High School in Forest Hills, New York, called police, and the seventh-grader was taken across the street to the police precinct.

Alexa’s hands were cuffed behind her back, and tears gushed as she was escorted from school in front of teachers and — the worst audience of all for a preadolescent girl — her classmates.

“They put the handcuffs on me, and I couldn’t believe it,” Alexa recalled. “I didn’t want them to see me being handcuffed, thinking I’m a bad person.” Click HERE to continue reading at CNN…

If Borat went to Napoleon Dynamite’s high school and did Vanilla Ice covers in the talent show backed by Spank Rock’s production crew, you’re starting to approach understanding the M.O. of the amazingly weird South African “Zef” rap trio DIE ANTWOORD (”The Answer”). Comprised of Capetown rappers Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er, and DJ Hi-Tek (along with a revolving cast of skid row homies like their Gollum-esque sidekick), the trio’s inimitable brand of dirty, cracker-ass, Afrikaner Hip-Hop literally must be seen to be believed:

TERRY RICHARDSON just shot KERRY KING of SLAYER. A better match, we could not envision…
