    He tries to hide how much he got in his first contract (with Oprah no less) by going over it with a marker but if you open the full image you can clearly see he made $1500. I guess I can't knock the hussle. Oh wait, that is another dance.

    Actually I think it's the exact same dance. Maybe he added a little side step or something, but seems the same to me.

    It's like the Georgia Satellites suing Chuck Berry for doing their patented guitar lick.

    I think he just finally realized how bad of a dance it is, and is trying to prevent people from doing it. I guess it's never too late to fix your mistakes.

    Hopefully he's planning on going the whole nine and lobbying for a law that makes doing it a criminal offense. i'd support that here in Cook County.
