R. Kelly Isn’t Allowed To Be Friends With Michael Jackson

Originally posted on January 31, 2004 @ 10:24 pm

A judge has given R&B star R. Kelly permission to attend the Grammy Awards, but told Kelly that he had to stay away from his one-time collaborator Michael Jackson.

Neither Kelly’s defense team or the prosecution ever brought up anything regarding a meeting between Kelly and Jackson. According to the Associated Press, both sides claim that Judge Vincent Gaughan made the decision himself. He was unavailable to comment on the verdict.

Jackson, who wasn’t nominated for a Grammy this year, isn’t even expected to attend the event.

Kelly is awaiting trial on 21 counts of child pornography stemming from a tape that allegedly shows him having sex with an underage girl. Police arrested Kelly in June 2002 after receiving the tape anonymously. Jacko is, of course, having problems of his own after being arrested last November on seven counts of child molestation.

Kelly and Jackson have worked together on two tracks. Kelly produced Jackson’s 1995 hit “You Are Not Alone” and last year’s “Give Me One More Chance.”

Kelly is nominated for two Grammys this year for his album Chocolate Factory, which went double-platinum despite being released only a few months after Kelly’s arrest. He is nominated for Best Male R&B Performance and Best Contemporary R&B Album. The Grammy’s will be held on February 8 in Los Angeles. Kelly was ordered to return home to Chicago by February 18.

Are you looking for a free copy of Office but you don’t want to go to jail? Just attend the Microsoft TS2 seminar and you get a copy for free. It’s a half-day event but well worth it for a free copy of Office. If you’re not looking to get Office for free, you can pick up Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition, or Virtual PC instead.

“Cracker Barrel gave jobs such as dish washing to black employees”

If they didn’t want the job, they should not have taken it and now they get tons of cash because they are black. Come on now… what does the color of someone’s skin have to do with the type of work/job they get? White, yellow, orange, purple, what ever color people are, dish washing is a job that restaurants need filled. I’m white and I’ve done dish washing as a job. Maybe I should file a claim too?

“Cracker Barrel did not pay workers adequate wages”

These people knew what the job paid when they took it, if they didn’t like the wages, they should have not took the job.

I’m shocked that the blacks… uh… excuse me, African Americans didn’t file a claim because they were working for “Crackers”… teehee… “Hey Cracker!”

I am so sick of people filing stupid cases because of race. Fuck. I’m white, well actually I’m a Native American… “but you’re white, how can that be?” I was born in America and raised here in America, so I claim to be a Native American!

If I wanted to have a “white pride day” I’d be called a racist. Why can one race be proud (black pride, brown pride) but not another? Fuck them all! I am not a racist. I hate everyone equally. Take that stupid ass hats!

I have friends who are black. They agree that most “black people” file stupid cases. We the people need to understand that “We” are Americans and stop all the race crap. If you don’t like the way things are in America, go back to where you came from or maybe register to vote to maybe make a difference.

There is a lot of racist people and companies in the world. It’s not always about black people or race. I get shit for being white. Fuck. I didn’t own any slaves. My family didn’t have slaves. Canada is looking more and more the place to be.

From what I know, Africans back in the day traded and sold their own as slaves, so go bitch at your people too.

New High Risk Worm Flooding Inboxes

A new worm called MyDoom flooding users e-mail boxes is the subject of serious concern among solution providers.

All that the worm needs to propagate is a user that has an open Microsoft Windows preview pane in Outlook. The worm appears to be taking advantage of one of the more recent trends in the malicious code world, randomized e-mail worms that include a ZIP attachment to bypass traditional gateway filters, said Ken Dunham, director of malicious code at Velocitus, Boise, Idaho.

“This worm is taking off like a rocket, with well over 20,000 interceptions in just two hours of it being discovered” he said.

Email Virus Warning

Just a quick entry to let everyone one know that the W32.Klez.H@mm virus is poking around. My system is protected from it but a lot of my clients and friends have been receiving it via email the past week or so. You might already be aware of it but I thought it would be nice to let you know just in case you were not aware. Oh and Symantec just released new virus definitions today, so run live update if you use Norton Anti Virus.
