Chad Muska couldn't fakie 5-0: Arrested

Professional skater and former "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" video game legend Chad Muska was arrested outside of the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles Wednesday night for vandalism.

The footage below doesn't show Muska actually spray painting, but with the word "Muska" painted on the window of a nearby Coffee Bean, it looks like that was the likely scenario.

In the video, Muska repeatedly uttered the "N" word toward two black security guards and was probably lucky that he was surrounded by cameras during his racial remarks.

I'd like to say he will likely end up having to apologize publicly and do service in the black community within the next year, but skaters' reputations aren't as scrutinized as other athletes, so he might skip the forced apologies.



If it weren't for the graffiti, the cameramen would have probably thought they were shooting two security guards harassing a homeless man, or guitarist Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains.

Muska had Tweeted earlier that day, "I have a feeling tonight is going to be another one of those nights. I should just stay in ... But I won't." He probably should have just stayed home and watched Deck Dogz on Netflix, assuming he's not outraged with the new Netflix price hike.

It was reported that Muska's bail was set at $20,000.

Carmageddon hits harder than expected

Pre-Carmageddon problems started early this week when Netflix, the popular movie streaming web site, raised its monthly rates by 60 percent. Subscribers were outraged as many jumped on any social media outlet they could find to express their displeasure with the company. Netflix eclipsed 20 million subscribers this past February. February is the second month of the year, plus 20 million, divided by 60 percent, is equal to Carmageddon.

Friday evening, there were reports that music stars Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were in the early stages of a divorce. The power couple has been in music for a combined 35 years and had been married for over seven years. Thirty-five, plus seven: Carmageddon.


Now, in a poll conducted by Harris Interactive, Kobe Bryant has fallen and is no longer America's most popular athlete. Bryant has lived in Los Angeles for over 15 years. Add that to his 22.8 points averaged in the playoffs. Combined that with last night's full moon: Carmageddon.



I thought the Lakers early exit from the playoffs was somehow related to the Harold Camping May 21 rapture, but upon further observation it is undoubtedly linked to Carmageddon.

They'll never admit that this is all linked to Carmageddon, but when you do the math, it's obvious.

Carmageddon has already ruined perhaps millions of lives and it is just starting. Get ready for a long weekend, Los Angeles.
