Playaz also call for death of Salman Rushdie
Through a press release and protest yesterday, the Playaz recently condemned the beleagured author Salman Rushdie for commiting an "affront to the Playaz".
The British-Indian novelist has recently been condemned by Pakistani cabinet members following his Knighthood in London, England, as well as having had a 'fatwa' placed on his head in 1989 by Iran's spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomeini for his book "The Satanic Verses". Both incidences are believed to have offended the nation of Islam.
The Playaz issued the death sentence to Rushdie following a visit to Kenny & Bon's Roasters, where the author reportedly returned one of their infamous dishes "blackened bald eagle", calling it "unpleasant" and too "gamey".
"Kill him! Death to Rushdie!" several of the Playaz shouted outside the restaurant after reports came back of Rushdie's dissatisfaction with his meal.
Several other celebrity endorsers of the restaurant, such as comedic singer Ray Stevens, spoke out against Rushdie, saying his actions were deplorable.
Rushdie has reportedly gone into hiding once again to avoid any bounty hunters seeking to once again kill the controversial author.

I once got my ass kicked by an angry swan (I'm totally serious about this) when I was a kid. I will support the Playaz efforts to kill Rushdie, and even offer the free use of my Ninja Lite-Armoured Assault Vehicle (a Honda CR-V with power windows and door locks) for that purpose, if you will pledge to add more swan dishes to the Roasters Menu. The Bald Eagle makes a fine meal, but I'd like more swans killed, if at all possible.

Rushdie and his really hot wife just split up. Now I find this very conveniant. Instead of killing him, you have decided to steal his wife instead. As she is a chef, I can only assume that she will serve your bald eagle dishes, and never, ever pronounce them "gamey."
My only question is, which Playa "persuaded" her to leave her husband, and how many times was she "persuaded?"

Just a little "appetizer" before the "main course".
Of course, Wayne serves as the 'heavy artillery' when it comes to the game of seduction.
