Normally, I think that this auction would easily qualify for the most disturbing thing I’ve come across in a given day. Maybe its just because I respect most of what Roberto Clemente did on, and definitely off, the field, but what’s the point in auctioning off part of the plane he died in? I mean, its just a plane part. Not like they found the seat he was sitting in, or his empty bag of airline peanuts. It’s just disturbing, and for once, I’m glad that a famous dead person’s family is stepping in, and I hope they kick some serious ass.

But sorry, Leland’s Auctions, you’re taking the silver medal tonight. Big time.

Pat O’Brien, of “let’s get some hookers and go crazy” voice mail fame, is apparently out to show his compassionate side.

The timing of this is odd, having just watched “Richard Pryor: I’m Not Dead Yet, $@#&$@#!!!” special on Comedy Central, and loving the way his (ex?) wife turned a retrospective on one of the top stand-up comedians ever into an infomercial for why you should line her pockets with cash from Richard Pryor DVDs.

Now this.

What in THEE hell is that all about? He might as well have scored a one-on-one interview with a floor lamp. While there’s no telling what Pryor’s lifestyle might have done to contribute to his illnesses today, leave the man in peace, would ya?

“Give me a smile?” What the hell is that? And couldn’t they find any cutaway video to cover the constant washragging? I mean its bad enough that Pryor had to deal with the high point of his daughter’s career being “Head of the Class”, and even in the later years at that… don’t put the poor man through this crap so you can grab a few ratings and feel better about your crack-addicted, sex-crazed self, Pat. And I hope that some day, when Pryor passes on, they find that he left his entire past, present and future fortune to some long lost nephew (who has to spend $30 million in 30 days in order to inherit the entire fortune, of course), and that money grubbing whore of a wife gets nothing but a one way ticket to the front of a Mack truck.
