WORST IDEA: D&D a threat to prisons

Prison officials are worried about prisoners playing Dungeons & Dragons because they believe that the role-playing games structures mimics gang structures. Not to be picky, but aren't prisons full of actual gangs? Should we be worried about the prison dorks in pretend gangs?

WORST IDEAL Charlie Sheen checks Into rehab

Why end the good times? You get paid millions. Women, hookers and drug dealers love you. Your show isn't funny, yet it's number one. If anyone needs rehab, it certainly isn't Charlie Sheen. Cocaine and hookers for everyone.

WORST IDEA: Egypt shuts down the Internet

I guess when you're attempting to sell radical Islam and poverty to your people that Facebook can get in the way. So much for Egypt being a progressive Muslim nation. God forbid somebody gets a Twitter from Paris Hilton. Literally, god forbids it, or you'll get your eyes poked out and your hands cut off.

WORST IDEA: Bristol Pailin getting $20K to speak on sexual responsibility

A friend of mine who went to Washington University in St. Louis is rightly outraged that student funds are being used to have Bristol Palin speak on campus. The topic is, of course, sexual responsibility which Palin hardly seems like an expert on. I'm not exactly sure how having a famous mom and having a baby as a teenager makes you a $20K speaker, but I'm planning on skateboarding down the highway during rush hour, can I get a few bucks to speak on "making good choices?"

WORST IDEA: Chad Ochocinco is changing his name

The name stuff was sort of cute when you were, you know, good, but now it's just ridiculous. Nobody needs to know your name when you're playing for the Bengals.

WORST IDEA: Taco Bell sued over definition of meat

A class action lawsuit accuses Taco Bell of not putting enough actual meat into its tacos to refer to the filling as "beef."

WORST IDEA: MSNBC cancels Keith Olbermann

Does anyone watch anything else on MSNBC? I know Olbermann's a jerk, but he's a jerk with personality. If silencing interesting voices who criticize the right wing is going to be the byproduct of the Comcast takeover of NBC, then MSNBC might as well turn off the lights now. Good news though, Piers Morgan is still on CNN, so while we won't have Olbermann's funny, opinionated take, we will still have tedious non-probing interviews.

WORST IDEA: George Clooney has malaria

We get it, you really, really, care about Africa. I'm sure those ER episodes about the plight of the African people totally fixed things and you just caught some of that leftover, bad luck malaria.

WORST IDEA: Cleveland Cavaliers offer homeless man with radio-ready voice a job

Maybe the Cavs should consider why he was homeless (drug and alcohol problems) and maybe not just go for the quick PR score. Perhaps his nine kids should raise another red flag?

WORST IDEA: Florida man living in lions' den

I know the housing market is tight, but living with lions seems like an especially bad idea. Lions, for those who aren't familiar, tend to eat people when they get too close. I know The Lion King makes you think they are warm and fuzzy -- and they are -- right up until they eat you.
