No More Bling for Mr. T

By oddSeth ⋅ July 14, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Apparently Mr. T has declared an end to the era of bling, giving up all of his gold accoutrements out of respect to Hurricane Katrina survivors.

“As a spiritual man, I felt it would be a sin against my God for me to wear all that gold again because I spent a lot of time with the less fortunate,” the actor said Thursday at the Television Critics Association’s summer meeting.

In a sign of ultimate sacrifice, Mr. T agreed to sell his Best Blueberry Pie Eater in All O’ The Land Award pictured to the left, with the proceeds going to feed an orphanage for the next 12.7 years.

(Seriously, T, or Mr. T, or Mister, or however the hell I’m supposed to address you, did you really think that wearing a big fucking gold pie plate around your neck was “slick” or “dope” or “tight”? Look at yourself. It’s a big fucking gold pie plate, for chrissakes. And you’re wearing it around your neck.)
