  1. Filthy Critic Dead? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hey, has anyone noticed this message on the home page of the Filthy Critic:

    The Filthy Critic was killed in a
    bicycle collision late Thursday night.

    He died the way he lived--wobbling aimlessly in the slow lane.

    Is it true? Does anyone in here has any info?

    I completely understand what he is saying... He wants to use the plane mentioned in the headline to send some form of contraband to his "home boy" in another land.
