Shocker: Magician Actually Makes Himself Disappear

From Las Vegas and a host of, if not all American venues, I'd wager. For his next trick he claims he will eventually get his own show in Vegas. I doubt even Houdini could pull that one off.

Swedish magician Joe Labero has provoked a strong reaction with suggestions that Las Vegas is controlled by "Jewish business syndicates, American dollar millionaires and homosexual booking agents".

The magic master's comments were made in an interview with rail company SJ's on-board magazine Kupé.

As a prelude to his controversial thesis, Labero explained that he has long been close to getting his own show in Las Vegas.

"But at the end of the day it seems to be impossible - unless you are a homosexual, a Jew or an American.

"I don't mean to sound prejudiced of course, I'm just cynical. A blond Swedish Viking will have a hard time breaking through the hierarchies that control Vegas, where power rests in the hands of Jewish business syndicates, American dollar millionaires and homosexual booking agents.

"But I will get there, sooner of later," Labero told the magazine.

Good luck with that one, dude.

I happen to be the world's greatest ski jumper. As everyone knows, ski jumping is controlled by Teutons, Nordics, Protestants, and Saab executives. These people wish to force me into irrelevant and costly preliminaries designed and implemented by heretical Christians. I know I will in spite of them one day be the toast of Stockholm.

Joe's lucky that Vegas isn't still controlled by swarthy types that reek of olive oil and plant their problems in the desert.

another REAL good reason to hate the spineless, soulless, contemptible corporations and the scumbags who run them, buzzy, is that - here in vegas - *everyone* who lived here back then *all* say the place was MUCH better when the 'swarthy/olive oil' types ran the place.

better city government; lower crime; *INFINITELY* better casino games/odds/experience; all the old-timers look back on the mafia days and sigh wistfully.

when folks prefer the rule of the frickin' MOB to the rule of corporations.....it's a good sign the corporations are about God's lowest, most foul entity. (with the possible exception of al-qaeda and the DNC.) but that don't mean ol' lars the magician isn't screwed: the corporate swine here are just as vindictive as the goombahs ever were. only MUCH greedier, and not nearly as classy or charming.

I am the world's most famous Mermaid. But the Starkist Man constantly pursues me with contracts to sign making it a fun part of my underwater show to tweak my nipples. I hate that. So now I drive a middle-school bus. When the chirrens start to fighting, I flip them out the winders with my tail. Little bastards.

That was good for a laugh. I needed one. I have been putting a new motor on an unload system for a large grain bin all day and everything that could go wrong went wrong. It is now done and I'm off to go eat supper with the in laws and have some Crown and waters. I will tell them about this since they love to go to Las Vegas.

"when folks prefer the rule of the frickin' MOB to the rule of corporations..."

The mob gives credit, doesn't tax winnings, gives better odds. People prefer the mob gambling product to government OTB and lottery gambling products.

Doesn't say much about government does it?
