Tattoo Removal More Common, Doctors Say

By MICHAEL HILL, Associated Press Writer

ALBANY, N.Y. - At 23, Alexandra Baker figures it's time to get rid of the spider on her ankle. The tattoo was inked on in college — one of seven on her body. But Baker's outlook has changed somewhat. The spider is something to hide rather than exhibit. So it's coming off, along with two little fairies on her chest.

"I can't stand having them anymore," said Baker, who lives in New York's Hudson Valley. "It's just not how I want to portray myself anymore."


Baker is not alone. Doctors say tattoo removals are becoming more common at a time when people frequently sport butterflies on their ankles or barbed wire around their biceps.


"There are a number of people who did this and have said `Geez, this is not what I want.' What seems really great at age 17 or 20 may not seem so great at age 30," said Dr. Brian Kinney, a Los Angeles plastic surgeon and spokesman for the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.


Tattoos, once commonly associated with bikers and veterans, proliferated in the '90s on skin of all types of people — from students to bartenders to bankers. In a nationwide poll this year by the Scripps Survey Research Center, 15 percent of respondents said they had a tattoo. The percentage almost doubled among 18 to 34-year-olds.


Some regret it.


No hard numbers exist for tattoo removals, but medical professionals report more people coming in for laser treatments in recent years. Dr. Elizabeth McBurney, a New Orleans-area dermatologist, said she used to do five laser treatments a month in the 1980s. She did twice that one day recently.


All sorts of people come in for removals, doctors say. Some had such slogans as "Tammy Forever" committed to ink, only to find love was fleeting. Others, like Baker, got tattooed in their youth and later regretted being imprinted with a flaming death head or a Flying V guitar.


There are a few common tattoo removal methods — people try to rub them out with chemical lotions or have a doctor abrade or surgically cut them out. State-of-the-art removals are done with lasers that penetrate through the outer layer of skin and fragment the tattoo pigment.


Lasers require several treatments over a period of weeks, can cost hundreds of dollars and can be painful.


Also, a faint trace of the tattoo remains.


Researchers at Wright State's School of Medicine in Ohio are studying the effectiveness of a cream used for genital warts as a complement to laser treatment. The results aren't known yet, though researchers say they have been inundated with offers from would-be guinea pigs.


Professionals — from artists who create tattoos to doctors who remove them — say the best strategy is not to get ill-considered tattoos in the first place. Their advice: Think. Will you enjoy having your fraternity letters on your backside in a decade?


T-Bone, an artist at Lark Tattoo in Albany, said people must sign a consent form before getting a tattoo. Still, the occasional customer has a change of heart after the fact. He echoes the advice of doctors: Don't get a tattoo of your sweetheart's name.


"Unless it's `Mom,'" Kinney said, "because your mom won't go away."

let this be a lesson to all of you with with suns, moons, and large script e's on ther ankles ;)

Princess Paris

Paris Hilton wants to be famous for more than just being famous

By Vanessa Grigoriadis

What you think of Paris Hilton, what she thinks of herself and what she's really like are three entities so separate and distinct that if they were people they wouldn't end up in the same room. You think -- if you think of her at all -- that Hilton, 22, is a stupid, spoiled, superficial socialite who dresses like a high-class escort and, given the recently disclosed pornographic video she made with an ex-boyfriend, probably acts like one, too. She thinks she's a pet lover who donates to charity, does not drink or do drugs and hardly ever goes out. "I am not a party person," says Hilton, blinking her catlike royal-blue eyes. "Mostly I like to spend time with my dogs."
There is possibly only one person on the planet from whom this sounds utterly insane, and that is Paris Hilton, America's most famous example of someone who is famous for going out. But at this scene-y Japanese restaurant in West Hollywood, right after she tells the waiter to turn the heat off or she's "going to die," Hilton maintains that this is fact. Fact, even though in the coming week or so she will attend the reopening of Mynt, a nightclub in Miami, a benefit party for the Carl Wilson Foundation, a Whipped Couture party, Usher's twenty-fifth birthday party, the premiere of Scary Movie 3 and the launch party for a new Dior watch. "I hate clubs -- so lame," she drawls, picking at her sashimi, in a Valley Girl voice as deep and low-pitched as Romy and Michele's. "I never go to them."

As if to substantiate this, Hilton, the great-grandchild of the Hilton Hotels founder, is very un-Paris-Hilton-looking tonight, wearing sneakers and sweat pants, with her long blond hair, which is mostly extensions, tucked under a baby-blue trucker cap. She's tired: All day she's been doing interviews for The Simple Life, her new reality show on Fox with childhood friend Nicole Richie, as well as tending to her ill grandmother at the hospital (no, really), so she says that tonight, after dinner and a brief stop at her sister Nicky's twentieth-birthday party held at a promotional party for the MTV show Made, she's going straight home. Nicky -- the younger, plainer and relatively more studious sister (Paris finished high school after a few months of home schooling) -- is already at the club, and Paris' friend Casey Johnson, a Johnson & Johnson heiress, keeps calling her, bugging her to show up already.

"Babe, we're on our way," Hilton says, as she picks up another king crab roll. "Bitch, we're in the car!" Hilton spends an inordinate amount of time on her phone: "This summer, I was in Greece on a boat with no cell phone," she says. "It kind of sucked, but if I had it, someone would call and be like, 'What are you up to tonight?' And I'd be like, 'I'm in the middle of the ocean, asshole.' "

Hilton barely makes it to the club in time for the cake, which is huge and ringed with pink roses. It's dim in here; still, everyone looks vaguely familiar. There are actors from Boston Public and Roswell, the guy who played the guy who owned the club on 90210, a couple of Playboy Playmates, a porn star and Tara Reid, who throws her jacket down next to Hilton.

"I need a drink," says Reid. She grabs a bottle of vodka off the table (when you're a Hilton, there's free everything wherever you go) and doffs her plaid Burberry cap. "Hat? No hat?" she asks.

"Hat is cute," says Paris. "I love hat."

"Yeah," says Nicky.

It's at about this time that Paris disappears for twenty minutes.

She returns refreshed and embraces actress Jennifer Esposito. "I want to go out!" she announces, then smiles broadly, tipping her chin to the sky. "I'm the kind of person that if I see a shooting star, I wouldn't stay there and watch it," she says. "I'd run to my friends and tell them, because I want everyone to see it, too."

Hilton makes a beeline for the door through the crowd. "My friend is pregnant, and we have to get to a hospital!" she yells. On the street, she laughs and laughs. Simon Rex, former MTV VJ, appears. "God, he's hot," she whispers. He kisses her cheek. "Where are you going?" he asks.

"Nacional, Nacional," she says, then runs away, toward her car. "We're going to another club -- Deluxe. It's hard for people to get in there, and I don't want them to feel bad."

Pulling into Deluxe's parking lot, Hilton sticks her entire upper torso out of the car and calls to a group of girls with their backs to her, walking away.

"Tatiana!" she screams. "Tatiana! Get that fucking bitch over here!"

The girls don't turn around.

"Shit," says Hilton, ducking back into the car. "Maybe her name isn't Tatiana."

The paparazzi are gathered outside Deluxe, a celebrity hangout attracting the likes of Ashton and Demi, and Hilton vamps for the cameras for a few minutes, making that pout she always makes, prancing back and forth. "Paris is the best," one cameraman says.

A friend of Hilton's puts it this way: "The girl is really strange."

That Hilton is strange, or at least not at all how you imagined her, is immediately apparent: She's loopy, kooky, possessed of that vacant It Girl quality wherein you're never supposed to know exactly what you're doing, but whatever you're doing is fabulous. Though Hilton got a credit card at nine, started going to nightclubs at sixteen and has been on intimate terms with both ever since, to this day she remains childlike, maintaining an excessively close relationship with her mother, herself a minor child TV star. In some ways, Hilton is best described as resembling a teenage raver, a gawky, lanky adrenaline junkie with a bad case of attention-deficit disorder (she says she was diagnosed with it as a kid). It's the ADD, Hilton says, that gives the false impression that she's on drugs, and at least a half-dozen times tonight, she tells me that she doesn't do them. But on three separate occasions, friendly acquaintances ask, "Paris, you got any weed?" Hilton also says that she doesn't drink, and she doesn't at all tonight -- except for Red Bull. About ten of them.

What she spends most of her time doing this evening is dancing: From the time she starts, she never stops, calling out the words to every club hit, all of which she knows, from "Black Sheep" to "Nether," and moving around in a way that's loose, takes up a lot of space and is surprisingly asexual. "My boyfriends always tell me I'm not sexual," says Hilton. "Sexy, but not sexual."

This is a statement that's hard to square with Hilton's most notorious moment to date, a twenty-five-minute pornographic tape that is supposedly soon to be available on the Internet but won't be if her family's lawyers have anything to do with it. It's a graphic, grainy home video that she made with Rick Solomon, a very well-endowed online-gambling entrepreneur once married to Shannen Doherty and with whom Hilton had a fling when she was nineteen (Solomon denies any role in the release of the tape). Despite claims from Hilton's spokeswoman that she was nearly unconscious, Hilton, wearing little more than heavy eye makeup and a mischievous grin, scampers about the bed with glee during the goings-on. As they fuck, she waves at the camera. "Hi," she says. Then her cell phone rings.

That someone would release such a video at the exact moment that Hilton is going to be a national TV star may be atrocious, but it certainly lends credence to myriad tabloid reports that have painted Hilton as an epic slut. After all, she's been romantically linked in gossip pages to Nicolas Cage, Lance Bass, Ashton Kutcher, Oscar de la Hoya, Leonardo DiCaprio, Edward Furlong, Jared Leto, Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath, Girls Gone Wild impresario Joe Francis, lesbian club owner Ingrid Casares, seventy-three-year-old Hollywood producer Robert Evans, Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, Sum 41's Deryck Whibley and model Jason Shaw (she will cop to only the last two and says that she was in love only with Shaw).

The reality is that Hilton gets hit on with Pamela Anderson-style frequency -- tonight, it happens about once every five minutes -- and it's probable that she takes what she wants from what's offered. She's offered a lot, because any guy who finds himself in the same club as Paris Hilton is compelled, as if by some higher force, to try his luck. She'll humor him for a minute or so, then turn to whatever friend may be nearby, extending her middle finger and rolling her eyes.

"All the guys talk to Paris," Johnson says. She had a date tonight, but he stood her up and is now across the room with someone else. Paris wants to know who he is.

"Don't tell her," says Johnson. "She'll go over there!"

Paris cranes her neck; Nicky leans toward her sister's ear.

"No!" yells Johnson, pulling them apart. "Don't!"

Paris backs away. "Whatever," she says, walking out of the club. "It sucks balls here."

For hilton, the worst thing that you can be is a "Debbie." That means you're "desperate" or "hungry," that you want fame and attention, but you can't yet figure out how to get it. It's also what she calls a lot of people who have, in her estimation, used her name to get theirs into the press, such as Joe Francis, who went on Howard Stern a few months ago and said that Hilton was a nice girl -- when she's not drunk. When is that? Stern asked. "Sundays," Francis said.

Indeed, Hilton won't take any responsibility for the nocturnal high jinks that she's been a part of, at least according to the press. She blames Shannen Doherty for their catfight at Deluxe last spring, which supposedly ended with Doherty pelting Hilton's car with eggs. ("[Doherty] said, 'Let's go outside and fight,' but that's so trashy," Hilton said. Doherty, naturally, denies this.) Then there was the time that Lisa Marie Presley threw a drink at Hilton, who ran out of the bar screaming, "Lisa Marie just threw a drink at me because she thinks I fucked Nic Cage!" (Presley denies tossing the cocktail.) Nor will Hilton admit to the report of March 2003, also at Deluxe, that she threw ice cubes and cigarette butts at Sarah Howard, a wanna-be actress who was flirting with Shaw.

Howard, Hilton says, is a Debbie: "She's desperate. That girl wants to be something."

Ten minutes after hilton leaves Deluxe, she's dancing at another club, Nacional, with the crowd from the MTV party -- JC Chasez, Cris Judd, Reid and "so many cheesy girls, jeez," says Hilton. There's Miss Hawaiian Tropic 2003, in a fishnet bodysuit, a black leather cap set high on her winged hair. "I love your outfit," Hilton tells her, laughing. Next she sees a chesty blonde in a tiny red halter top and jeans slung so low she must be entirely shaved. "She's, like, a hooker Barbie," Hilton whispers. She taps her on the shoulder and says, "Hey, Debbie."

"Debb-a-Debb-Debb Debbie," Reid sings, up in her face.

The hooker Barbie looks confused. "But my name is Tiffany," she says.

Paris turns toward Nicky, who's dancing with rap star Eve. "You should've come to Nicky's birthday party," Paris tells Eve.

"I just turned twenty-five," says Eve and covers her face with her hands. "So old!"

"No, you're not, you're young," drawls Paris, hitting her in the thigh playfully.

Eve starts talking about how she spent her birthday. "And I went to Bliss," she says, puffing up her chest, paw tattoos peeking over her top. "It was dope."

"Eww," says Paris. "I hate that place."

This moment reveals the class rift between Hilton and Eve: Bliss is a New York spa that's marketed as upscale and exclusive but isn't pricey or luxurious enough for the likes of Paris Hilton. In the same way it's uncool to talk shit about a friend's cheap car if you have a BMW, it's verboten among women to dis another girl's spa -- to imply that a massage she thinks is awesome isn't good enough for you. Eve reels back and doesn't talk to Hilton for the rest of the night, though Hilton keeps offering her encouraging smiles.

In any case, it's getting late. Reid is shrieking into her phone: "Tell him if he doesn't get here in five minutes, I'm going to fuck him up personally!"

"Red Bull!" yells Hilton, to no one in particular.

Outside the club, it's like a carnival. There are video cameras from E!'s Celebrities Uncensored, a corn-dog stand, a bunch of bums begging, at least a dozen paparazzi, a line of cops yelling for people to move it along and everyone from the club asking everyone else where the afterparty is. An endless stream of guys thrust invites to other parties into Hilton's hand. "This is for tomorrow, Paris," says one.

"God, Debbie," she says.

"What?" he asks.

"Nothing," says Hilton, putting the flier in her pocket. "Cool."

Johnson gives her keys to someone she thinks is a valet, but he never returns. She starts to freak out, running up and down the street trying to find him. "This is hungry," says Hilton, dashing toward the parking lot. "Let's get out of here." A bum runs after her, yelling, "Paris! I saw you on the TV!"

"Aww, thank you, honey," Hilton says, then tells me, "Jack Osbourne and I took that bum to dinner once."

A minute later, he speeds by in a white Volkswagen van, tooting his horn.

"Look, the bum has a car," says Hilton excitedly. "So cute!"

Though Hilton has both beauty and money in spades - her inheritance is estimated at $30 million -- for all her talk of Debbies, Hilton is stuck in a weird purgatory of celebrity that is itself crowded with Debbies. She herself is desperate -- desperate for respect, desperate for someone to recognize that she is more than just a party girl, a face famous for being famous.

Though Hilton has been taking acting classes three times a week, she's found it difficult to land roles that aren't riffs on her public profile, such as her cameos in Wonderland and Zoolander. In Japan, she and Nicky are superstars -- they are spokes-women for a line of local handbags as popular as Gucci is here, and their faces loom on billboards. ("We have to wear wigs," says Hilton of her trips to Tokyo. "I love wearing a wig.") Stateside, though, Hilton has little more going on than a jewelry line, a makeup line she says she's launching in the spring and, most important, The Simple Life.

"People have this preconceived notion of me that is not who I am," says Hilton of her decision to do the Fox show. "I'm not a little rich girl who hasn't worked a day in her life. I'm smart, I'm sweet, I'm nice. I'm a good person." It's odd, this defensiveness; Paris Hilton shouldn't have to answer to anybody, and she repeatedly insists that she doesn't care what people think of her. Plus she gets offers daily from all sorts of people who want to "work with her." She's recording an album with one of Chasez's producers, Rob Boldt; Chasez has written a song for her as well. "Paris' stuff is like old Prince, old Michael Jackson," says Boldt, who accompanies her out tonight.

This evening's afterparty is at the recording studio of DJ Lethal, a.k.a. Leor DiMant of Limp Bizkit. He's in the parking lot, zipping around on a yellow motorbike with the plate 666. "Sammy Hagar's in Mexico, but rock & roll's gotta live," he says.

In the studio, a dozen people dance around, including Bizkit drummer John Otto and some Iranian girls from the club. Someone is using a pipe made out of a Slinky covered with lampshade paper. Simon Rex and Hilton sit on a couch, playing with a Mini-Me doll. Lethal talks to Paris about recording a song. "I don't want to be Paris Hilton," she says solemnly. "What is that? Who cares? So my family owns hotels. I didn't do it. I want to be 'Paris.'"

"My car," wails Johnson, who is now calling impound lots. In the meantime, I go to get my purse, and it's not where I left it. Hilton's is gone, too. We look all over. She's worried about her passport -- she's supposed to go to Germany in two days -- plus her platinum-and-diamond Franck Muller watch, worth about $20,000. Nervous, she's gone from supermodel perfection to Macaulay Culkin, all clownlike lips and doleful eyes. The room empties out; the Iranian girls leave along with Rex. A couple of guys ask what's happening.

"We got jacked, man," says Hilton, scraping the floor with her sneaker. "People are always stealing my stuff. This happens all the time. Everyone is mean."

"No way," says a guy in a hoodie. He starts to look for the bags -- and he finds hers behind the couch, minus her wallet and watch. A few seconds later, he finds mine under some movers' blankets. It seems strange that he could have found both purses in such a messy place in such short order, and we leave hurriedly, confused. It's still black outside as we wind through the Hollywood hills, but dawn is near.

"God, I can't believe I stayed out this late," says Hilton. "I never do that."

Petite Woman Wins Thanksgiving Eating Contest

By Lauren Weber

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Petite former Burger King manager Sonya Thomas wolfed down 7-3/4 pounds of holiday food in 12 minutes on Wednesday to defeat a pair of 400-pound rivals and win the Thanksgiving Invitational eating contest.



The 106-pound Thomas of Alexandria, Virginia, devoured massive helpings of yams, green beans, cranberry sauce and turducken, a turkey stuffed with duck, chicken and sausage, to win the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) event.


"I'm full but I could eat more," Thomas, 36, said. Asked her secret, she said, "I just eat fast, that's all."


Thanksgiving, which traditionally centers around a family feast, brings out the overeater in many Americans, but Thomas ruled supreme as she ate her way past 400-pounders Ed "Cookie" Jarvis and Eric "Badlands" Booker, who came in second and third, respectively.


"You need four things" to participate in this sport, said Booker before the contest. "Capacity, strategy, mental toughness and stamina."


"I'm an eating machine," said Booker, who holds world marks in the matzo ball, corned beef hash and doughnut contests.


Being big is no requisite for success, as Thomas proved.


The glamour event on "the circuit" of competitive eating is Nathan's Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest held in New York's Coney Island neighborhood. Takeru Kobayashi, a slender Japanese man who ate a record 50-1/2 hot dogs and buns in 2001, is the current superstar.


In the Thanksgiving contest, most of the nine competitors used their hands to stuff in the food, while Richard and George Shea, the brothers who head the IFOCE, stood behind them offering commentary.


The IFOCE hosts official eating contests and tracks the world's top eaters, like record-holder Oleg Zhornitskiy, who downed four 32-ounce bowls of mayonnaise in 8 minutes.


Asked her plans for Thanksgiving, Thomas replied, "I'm going to eat more turkey."


The victory earned Thomas two airline tickets anywhere in the continental United States, and a turkey statuette.

hova rates hova

Jay-Z's skills have been a gift and a curse: He's been so consistent over the past seven years, people expect a classic LP every time he drops an album. While Jay is not perfect all the time, fans and critics will tell you he certainly comes close in most of his efforts.

But what does Hov think? After years of having his music dissected and scrutinized, we finally let the Jiggaman rate his own albums, on a scale of 1-5. Here's what he had to say ...





Reasonable Doubt (1996): 5
"I had my whole life to make that. That's my favorite. It's gonna always be my favorite because it's the first."





In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 (1997): 4.5
"I love Volume 1. I just did it wrong. I shot [videos for] the wrong singles. I had 'Where I'm From,' 'Streets Is Watching,' 'Imaginary Player,' I just went about it wrong. I'm thinking with two different records I would've killed that."





"Streets Is Watching" soundtrack (1998): 4
"We did the 'Streets Is Watching' movie because we just wanted to give people a background on Roc-A-Fella, how it got started, the type of people that we are. We was in the middle ground. Everybody on the underground knew what we was about. On the commercial level they didn't really know what Roc-A-Fella was about. That was the inspiration for the movie and soundtrack."





Vol. 2 ... Hard Knock Life (1998): 5
"I love Volume 2. That's my biggest album ever. I was just in a zone. Everything was just poppin.' "





Vol. 3 ...The Life and Times of S. Carter (1999): 4
"Very solid. It's a more mature album. It's a little deeper than 'Money, Cash, Hoes' and a little deeper than 'Jigga What.' It's dealing with real issues."





The Dynasty: Roc La Familia (2000): 4
"I talked about my life within that year. All the things that happened to me and the way people reacted to me, just off hearsay and off assumption. That album is so strong, so powerful."





The Blueprint (2001): 5
"The Blueprint was that foundation and everything was that one theme and it was sewed together. It's the blueprint of my life, the things that made me the way I am, that shaped me. It's all my beliefs and ideas. There's also a blueprint for rappers in this business."





The Best of Both Worlds (2002): 4
"One feeling that I have when I think about the album is blown opportunity. The whole reason the album came together was to do something creative that nobody really done before. Let's bring these two genres of music together and make something really crazy and let's go on tour and make history."





The Blueprint 2/2.1: The Gift and the Curse (2002): 3.5
"I'mma give that the lowest [rating]. Too many songs."





The Black Album (2003): 5
"My most introspective album."

Sinking feeling : Half of a bus emerges from a sink hole at the Lisbon bus terminal.

about "the comfort of a full-size keyboard in a form factor that works with handhelds -- and only requires the use of one hand. "

http://frogpad.com/

The FrogPad promises the comfort of a full-size keyboard in a form factor that works with handhelds -- and only requires the use of one hand.

With only 20 keys, FrogPad "offers full functionality and ease of use, making it the keyboard of choice for the mobile worker," Marroquin told NewsFactor.

Fifteen keys that read like a far-out poet doing In-Synch -- FARWPOEHTDUINSY -- enter the letters FrogPad claims cover 86 percent of the English language. Five additional keys handle space, number, symbol, enter, and shift/caps lock.

The space key toggles to green letter keys that cover the other 14 percent of the English language. The number key toggles to additional functions, such as escape, insert, and backspace.

Do You Frog?

Marroquin and her 4-year-old firm -- whose Yahoo-styled slogan is "Do You Frog?" -- are targeting a market of portability seekers who want ergonomic comforts in a smaller space.

"The only element that has kept personal computers from being smaller is the keyboard," she writes in a recent white paper on the subject. "The opportunity to have full functionality and full computing power in a handheld device can now easily be accomplished with FrogPad's revolutionary, single-handed fully functional keypad design."

The primary benefit of FrogPad is "that it is full-sized; users are not trying to manipulate tiny keys," said Ramamirtham Sukumar, associate professor of marketing at Rice University's Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management.

Sukumar -- who also serves as Director of Research Sciences at market research firm IPSOS-NPD -- said he "is fairly confident that the FrogPad will see a successful market."

Moose and Squirrel, Mouse and Frog

On a desktop populated by mice, Marroquin says she wants to add a frog.

The first FrogPad is right-handed because "research indicated that right-handed mouse users preferred right-handed FrogPads," she explained. A left-handed FrogPad will be available in the first quarter of 2004.

One potential market for FrogPad is people with disabilities that limit their movement on one side.

"Christina Hansen is a lovely, twenty-something woman who suffered a stroke that has limited movement on her left side," Marroquin said. "She's found the FrogPad to be a godsend."

"I can tell you many great things about FrogPad," Hansen told NewsFactor.

In another example, an inquiry on the "Frog Blog" asks when the left-handed keyboard will be available. "I suffer from Repetitive Strain Injury in my right hand," the right-handed writer says. "Should I wait for the left-hand version or buy the right-hand version to use with my left hand?"

FrogPad may have freed some hands, but it has also unleashed a barrage of chat-room snickers, Marroquin said. "About what a person might be doing with their free hand," she quipped -- "I won't go there."

about Man Dies After Winning Vodka-Drinking Contest

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&e=13&u=/nm/odd_russia_vodka_dc


MOSCOW (Reuters) - A vodka-drinking competition in a southern Russian town ended in tragedy with the winner dead and several runners-up in intensive care.


"The competition lasted 30, perhaps 40 minutes and the winner downed three half-liter bottles. He was taken home by taxi but died within 20 minutes," said Roman Popov, a prosecutor pursuing the case in the town of Volgodonsk.


"Five contestants ended up in intensive care. Those not in hospital turned up the next day, ostensibly for another drink."


Popov said the director of the shop organizing this month's contest had been charged with manslaughter. He had offered 10 liters of vodka to the competitor drinking the most in the shortest time.


Russians drink the equivalent of 15 liters of pure alcohol per head annually, one of the highest rates in the world. Some experts estimate one in seven Russians is an alcoholic.

CAM'RON & DAMON DASH ON "THE O'REILLY FACTOR"
This is a partial transcript from The O'Reilly Factor, November 12, 2003.

BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In the Impact Segment tonight, last week, the principal of John Reynolds Elementary School in Philadelphia, Salome Thomas-El, told us he believes gangsta rap music is extremely harmful to his inner-city students.

So we decided to get Grammy-nominee Cam'ron, who raps about pimping and bitches -- among other things -- and rap producer Damon Dash, co-founder of Rockefeller Records, together with Mr. Thomas-El, who joins us now from Philly. And here they all are.

Now we're going to have a nice, intelligent discussion here, gentlemen, and I'm going to moderate this discussion.

CAM'RON, RAPPER: Pimping and bitches.

O'REILLY: Yes. You know.

CAM'RON: Pimping and bitches.

O'REILLY: You've got it in your record "Purple Haze" right here.

But, anyway, let Mr. Thomas-El direct his questions, and then you guys can answer, and you can ask him questions or whatever you want.

Go ahead, sir.

SALOME THOMAS-EL, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL: Yes. Good evening, gentlemen.

CAM'RON: Hey, how are you?

DAMON DASH, RAP PRODUCER: How are you doing?

THOMAS-EL: Good, good, good. I'm a big fan of yours. I grew up on hip-hop.

CAM'RON: Thank you, sir.

THOMAS-EL: I'm a little older, so, you know, I was a Run DMC fan, KRS1.

CAM'RON: Yes, sir.

THOMAS-EL: But I'm always promoting the positive of rap. I mean Jay-Z's an excellent example of someone who's started his own label. He's an entrepreneur. So always promoting that with my young people.

But I spoke to some students today in preparation for our conversation tonight, and they were just so excited about the fact that I would be conversating with you guys, but also began to talk about the impact of the rap business on our young people, and many of them talked about how they understand that it's to sell records and it's, you know, for promotion.

But there are many young people who are affected by the lyrics, by the example of the videos. They talked about how Ludacris -- many of them knew about a video that Ludacris has where there's strippers and lap dances and those kinds of things, and these are 11-, 12-, and 13-year-old students who are very aware of what goes on.

And I was just wondering what your thoughts were on whether you thought you really had an impact on the lives of young people and whether you thought it was negative or positive.

O'REILLY: Cam'ron, why don't you go ahead?

CAM'RON: At the end of the day, yes, you've got an influence on it, but so do movies. Like with me, I'm just an author. So what I do is I write what goes on in the ghetto. I'm not a liar. So what I tell you goes on in my album, that's what goes on on the streets of Harlem.

Now I'm like a reporter. When you look at the news, you don't get mad at the person reporting the news. A lot of influence, I think, go to movies. A lot of people look at the movies, and then they react. The kids that killed them kids in -- where was that, Damon? Colorado?

DASH: Columbine.

CAM'RON: Columbine. Yes. You feel what I'm saying? I don't think they were listening to rap at all. I think that was more like a Marilyn Manson jump-off, you know, like...

O'REILLY: What if an 11-year-old kid imitates you, Cam'ron? What if he uses four-letter words and he develops a lifestyle based upon the street, he gets tattooed, he gets all of this, do you feel badly about that?

CAM'RON: No, I don't.

DASH: Can I interject?

O'REILLY: Go ahead.

DASH: If an 11-year-old were to imitate Cam'ron, what they would be doing is becoming a CEO Of their own company, controlling their own destiny, taking a bad situation and making it good. He has a record company. He's sold a lot of records. He's acted in movies. I feel like he's a positive...

CAM'RON: I have a cologne also.

DASH: He has a cologne.

CAM'RON: I have a clothing line.

O'REILLY: Well, you know what I'm talking about, Damon.

DASH: Well, no, he's an entrepreneur by his own right.

O'REILLY: If you have a child who is unsupervised and then Mr. Thomas-El has to try to teach and he's using four-letter words inappropriately, he's dressing inappropriately, he doesn't have value of education then that kid's in trouble.

DASH: Who's to say what's inappropriate as far as dressing goes? But, on another level, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Terminator, he was shooting up everyone in sight.

O'REILLY: It's a cartoon, though. This is real, though, isn't it?

CAM'RON: Everybody's rap isn't real.

O'REILLY: This is real. It's not a Terminator cartoon.

All right. Mr. Thomas-El, what else do you want to ask these guys?

DASH: You didn't let me finish, Bill. That wasn't very fair.

O'REILLY: All right. Go ahead. Go ahead. I'll let Mr. Dash finish.

DASH: Now we're talking about the good governor of California right now.

O'REILLY: That's right. And I'm telling you his movie's a cartoon, whereas this rap stuff is real life.

DASH: Now -- whoa, whoa, whoa. If there's an unsupervised child, how is he going to know whether it's real or not? How is he to determine what's real and what's not real? Who's the supervisor?

O'REILLY: All right. And you think that the "Terminator" movies are just as damaging or more so than gangsta rap.

DASH: I would have to say being that there's a visual and being there's no explanation to them and being that it's...

O'REILLY: There's visuals on these rap videos, too, though.

DASH: But what I'm saying is it's glorified. There's no justification for all the shooting that goes on.

O'REILLY: All right.

DASH: So if he's reporting on what goes on around the street, he's a product of his environment, he's reporting what is a product of his environment. How is that wrong for him to report that?

THOMAS-EL: Gentlemen, let's be honest.

(CROSSTALK)

O'REILLY: Let Mr. Thomas-El get in here. Go ahead.

THOMAS-EL: Gentlemen, let's be honest. Who do these kids relate to someone from the inner city or someone from another country or someone from the suburbs? Let's be quite honest.

DASH: Well, what I was trying to...

THOMAS-EL: You came up the same way I did, the same way millions of these kids do every day.

DASH: Right, right.

THOMAS-EL: We're growing up in a fatherless society. A lot of our friends -- your friends, my friends -- didn't have a lot of supervision at home. Most of time, they were at our homes. We had good parents. We had parents who didn't allow us to do, or watch these kinds of things.

I'm a critic of the movie industry also. I think that the kids are watching too much TV period. But my issue is that when you rap, you rap about what these children relate to because it's in their environment. You've already stated that they don't know your story because you're a CEO, and I agree.

But, see, you don't promote this and your company doesn't promote that. They promote the four-letter words.

DASH: We don't promote entrepreneurship? We don't promote positive and ownership of your company? I'm making it cool to be smart. I'm making it cool to be a businessman.

O'REILLY: All right. Look, but it's not about business.

DASH: It's not about business for you because you feel like it might give you better ratings to portray something negative with the image of hip-hop.

O'REILLY: It is negative. It is negative.

DASH: It's not negative to be a businessman.

O'REILLY: Sure it is. It's negative to make money, Mr. Dash, if you hurt children.

DASH: How do you hurt children by promoting to be an entrepreneur and a CEO and to do right...

(CROSSTALK)

O'REILLY: Hold it! Hold it! You're looking at a principal...

CAM'RON: Why don't you want to let him talk? You mad. You mad.

O'REILLY: You won't let me finish.

CAM'RON: Where did you start covering up the fear, right?

O'REILLY: No, wrong.

CAM'RON: I'm going to get at you in a minute.

O'REILLY: You go ahead. You get at me.

CAM'RON: I'm going to get at you in a minute.

O'REILLY: Listen, you guys, you're looking at a guy who teaches inner-city kids and who is telling you face to face that he has problems with kids based upon the rap music, and you're rationalizing it all up and down.

DASH: I thought you were going to mediate

O'REILLY: I am.

DASH: No, what you're doing is you're giving opinions. That's not being an objective mediator now, Bill.

O'REILLY: No, I can give my opinion. It's my program.

DASH: Well, now it's your program.

O'REILLY: Yes, it's my program.

DASH: Bill. Come on, Bill.

O'REILLY: We’ll have The Dash Factor some other time.

DASH: Let's stand back. I have The Dash Factor.

O'REILLY: No, I've got a question for Cam'ron based on what you just said.

DASH: Don't yell. Come on. Let's keep this civil.

O'REILLY: This is civil. Come on.

THOMAS-EL: I've got -- I've got...

O'REILLY: Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Mr. Thomas-El.

Now, look, if the principal tells you that there are children in his school, Cam'ron, who are being adversely affected by your music, do you care?

CAM'RON: I care, but you've got to talk to their parents.

O'REILLY: What if they don't have good parents?

CAM'RON: Why are they in school? They have to have parents to be in school. Somebody sent them to school.

O'REILLY: No, they don't.

DASH: No, you don't. No, you don't.

CAM'RON: If that's the case, homeboy, whoever's minding the television -- you need to have parent-teacher conferences with your students. Whether it's they aunt, they cousin, they sister, somebody's sending these kids to school. They're not 11 years old staying at home by their self.

I can't go home and talk to these students. You need to have more parent-teacher conferences if you have problems with your students.

O'REILLY: All right. Let him reply.

DASH: Same with the television.

O'REILLY: Let him reply. Go ahead. Mr. Thomas-El, reply.

DASH: That was a good point, Cam.

CAM'RON: Thank you.

THOMAS-EL: No, it's an excellent point. But, actually, you are talking to these students because they listen to you every day. So you are...

CAM'RON: So I've got more influence than their parents. That's a problem.

THOMAS-EL: No.

CAM'RON: That's a problem. That is a problem.

THOMAS-EL: That is a problem.

CAM'RON: So you need to have parents-teachers conferences because these are your students. You feel me? If you want me to come to your school and talk to your students, I could do that for you.

THOMAS-EL: No, I don't...

CAM'RON: All right. I don't want you...

(CROSSTALK)

O'REILLY: Go ahead. Go ahead. Let him get in.

CAM'RON: You have to talk to your parents.

THOMAS-EL: You're cutting me off, sir.

DASH: You mad.

O'REILLY: Go ahead, Mr. Thomas-El. Go ahead.

THOMAS-EL: No, what I'm saying...

(LAUGHTER)

THOMAS-EL: What I'm saying to you is that you're making millions of dollars off of these kids, the same kids that you're now denigrating...

CAM'RON: How do you know how much I'm making? How do you know how much money I'm making?

THOMAS-EL: The same parents that you're now denigrating, you make millions of dollars off these people.

CAM'RON: How do you know how much money I'm making?

DASH: Cam...

O'REILLY: Go ahead. Now you reply.

DASH: Let me ask you a quick question.

O'REILLY: Go ahead.

DASH: I think it's pretty unfair for you to judge the circumstance without properly understanding it. But every opportunity we get, we try to say as positive things as we can, which is why when we do make this money, we give back to our community.

Me and Cam'ron our self are from 142nd Street at Lennox. We do have a program there that teaches kids to be positive. We make them go to school. We support a basketball program.

And we personally know 150 kids in the neighborhood and speak to them and tell them to stay in school, incentivize them to stay in school. What's not positive about that?

OREILLY: Mr. Thomas-El, we're going to give you a minute to make a statement. And then we're going to go to Cam'ron, and then we're going to go to Damon Dash. And I think that's the fair way to do it. So you go first.

THOMAS-EL: OK. I'd like to thank you gentlemen for what you do. I'd like you to promote more to these young people, and maybe even if you can influence the folks who are around you to promote the positive things that you're doing. I know you're doing positive things.

But also these children are watching you tonight. Many of these children have parents who are incarcerated, parents who are drug addicted. They don't have the parental involvement they need.

They look up to a lot of you guys. A lot of you are men. They don't have a lot of contact with positive men. And tonight, you're making a mockery of their situation.

So, you know, tonight to an intellectual people, you didn't make rap look good, you didn't make the industry look good. And we aren't highlighting the positive.

I'm hoping in the future that we can send a better message not only to our young people but to America that this industry does have some talented people who do care because you're out there doing some good and great things for the young people.

O'REILLY: All right. Good.

All right. Cam'ron, you go.

CAM'RON: Cool. I just want to say I think that we got off to a bad start tonight, but I think everything that we said was very positive. I think that what me and Dash are doing is very, very, very positive for the youth.

You just jumped on everything tha
