Uncorrupted People
A pornographer known as Max Hardcore is on trial for obscenity in Florida. The judge originally said that the jury should watch eight and a half hours of his porn tapes, so they could get a complete picture. But she had to reconsider, because the jurors got so squeamish after less than an hour that she feared they wouldn't be able to make it all the way through. A mere 8.5 hours of filth? We call that a "weekday." [THR Esq.]

Nothing To See Here
"Burglary Suspect Is Killed With His Own Gun, Police Say": "The man was apparently holding a gun that was encased inside a dark sock, and it discharged as police officers were wrestling with him in a small room on the rooftop of a building." Well, that's good enough for me. On to the next story. [NYS]

And Now He's Dead (At A Surprisingly Old Age)
Salvatore "Bill" Bonanno, media hound eldest son of late mob boss Joe "Bananas" Bonanno, died early this morning of a heart attack. Bonanno joined his father's business early, spent years as Joe's adviser, ended up as a subject of a Gay Talese book, then wrote his own cash-in mob memoir, and even "co-produced a 1999 miniseries based on the autobiography of his father." He was 75 and spent a good decade longer in prison than his murderous father, so let's not begrudge him the crappy books too much. [AP]
