You Can't Have Shame in Your Game

Rapper The Game has been arrested for, get this, causing a scene in a mall and refusing to remove a Halloween mask. Seriously.

How will he ever live this down? That's the most pussified charge against a rapper I've ever heard. Doesn't The Game have a reputation to defend? You can't rap about being arrested for, as The Game puts it, "signing an autograph for a little girl."

"I got arrested for signing autographs," the 25-year-old rapper told WFMY-TV after he was released on $500 bail. "Signing a little girl's autograph got me arrested."

I would think, at the last moment, he's pull a gun and shoot a mall cop, just so the resulting news story would read better. "Rapper The Game, after brandishing a firearm in a mall and refusing to remove a Halloween mask, shot six mall security guards and one little girl, in line for the entertainer's autograph."

Now that would make a kickass just-released-from-jail track.

But police said The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, and a group of companions behaved disruptively and swearing Friday at Four Seasons Town Centre. He was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. At one point, police said, his companions were sprayed with pepper spray when they surrounded officers in a threatening manner.

These are tough guys, man. They were sprayed with pepper spray and the incident kept right on going. They continued their threatening, disorderly behavior in a MALL AFTER being hit with pepper spray. WHAT? YOU GOT A PROBLEM WIT DAT?

The Game said officers overreacted.

"They thought I was Rodney King, man. It was a case of mistaken identity," he told WFMY. "It's unfair, man. Their behavior's unfair."

Oh, he sounds charming. I shall have to pick up his next album when it, um, drops.
