FULL STORY
Time to implant these people with chips in the genatil areas and than see if they get away. Electrify the perimeter and put a control colar on these people. I DO NOT WANT THESE PEOPLE ON THE STREETS! Ive been approached by one of these types before and all you can do is defend yourself by any means possible
Lock them in rubber rooms. Appearently they have more freedom than others . Three hots and a comfortable bed, and a good buzz 24hrs a day what more could you ask for?
Madanna is an old has been. Why would anybody stalk this old lady is beyond me. Maybe it's a mercy stalking.
@mike, "a mercy stalking" I'm sure Madonna wouldn't give you a second glance. One can only hope to look that good and make thoses moves at 53. You are an idiot!
@mike if me and madonna clicked dude id be very much at peace with life im sure shes a very hot woman. And in every way
Give the man a tin foil hat!
You must be the gay Darrin. ;(
She has no class, sad she won't help her homeless brother and she millions $$$$$$
And you know she hasn't helped her brother how? You READ it somewhere? Ah yes, if it's in the Enquirer, it MUST be true.
YES. I am so stoked. I managed to change my name to BOMBOc on the main CNN site (I had been using WittenDog). So now my names match. I even have a demented clown avatar to go with it.
