PolitiFact doing the important work of refuting claims that Joe Biden drinks the blood of children.

Everyone knows it’s the blood of unicorns, of course. Silly people!

Instead, it somehow got the attention of Clapton, who sued the woman for copyright infringement and accused her of selling a bootleg CD of one of his live shows from the 1980s. Now, the 55-year-old widow, who did not sell the CD and claimed she did not know it was a bootleg, owes thousands of dollars in court fees.

A spokesperson for Clapton did not immediately return a request for comment. Michael Eaton, Clapton’s business manager, told The Washington Post last month that “given the depressingly bad standard of journalism reflected in certain recent articles, Eric Clapton has no desire at the moment to engage with the US Press.” Eaton told the Guardian that “Germany is a country where sales of bootleg and counterfeit CDs are rife.”

Fascinating to watch someone work so hard to completely destroy their reputation.

3101

Clapton is a dick. Like the pure pettiness to just go after a woman for a $11 item is insane.

3102

He’s also an anti-vaxxer now.

3103

Well I hope his next song is sung from a vent. Didn’t know that.

3104

There’s never been a correlation between being awesome at playing guitar and being an intelligent person.

3105

Well Brian May is both an awesome guitar player and an intelligent person, and apropos of nothing, he just tested positive for Covid.

3106

Of course the headline starts off with “Florida man…”

Some follow-up jokes I found.

Q: What’s the difference between a 4 year old and a bag of coke?

A: Eric Clapton wouldn’t have let a bag of coke fall out of a window.

And

Why do Eric Clapton’s kids use Apple products?
They are scared to death of windows.

3110

I find it difficult to enjoy jokes about Eric Clapton’s kid falling to his death.

Edit: Actually impossible to enjoy.

3111

I feel terrible for the kid.

I don’t feel terrible for Clapton, who is a garbage human being.

3112

If this is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

Unrelated but I found this while looking for the first video

3113

This is fucking vile.

That is all.

3114

Hahahaha omg ahahahah

This is quite possibly the best obituary ever written:

RENAY MANDEL CORREN | Obituary | Pittsburgh Post Gazette (post-gazette.com)

The intro:

A plus-sized Jewish lady redneck died in El Paso on Saturday. Of itself hardly news, or good news if you’re the type that subscribes to the notion that anybody not named you dying in El Paso, Texas is good news. In which case have I got news for you: the bawdy, fertile, redheaded matriarch of a sprawling Jewish-Mexican-Redneck American family has kicked it. This was not good news to Renay Mandel Corren’s many surviving children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, many of whom she even knew and, in her own way, loved. There will be much mourning in the many glamorous locales she went bankrupt in: McKeesport, PA, Renay’s birthplace and where she first fell in love with ham, and atheism; Fayetteville and Kill Devil Hills, NC, where Renay’s dreams, credit rating and marriage are all buried; and of course Miami, FL, where Renay’s parents, uncles, aunts, and eternal hopes of all Miami Dolphins fans everywhere, are all buried pretty deep. Renay was preceded in death by Don Shula.

There’s oh so much more, and it had me cackling with laughter.
