Celebrity Justice
Boy George Is Trashed!

Clad in a bright orange vest and designer footwear, Boy George wheeled a city-issued trashbin through the streets of New York Monday morning, in a highly publicized effort to repay his debt to society.

Dozens of onlookers stopped dead in their tracks as the former Culture Club frontman scooped up leaves and trash from sidewalks. But while the '80s icon, who sang "Karma Chameleon" and "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?", dragged his body through heaps of garbage, his mind was still in the gutter. TMZ caught George smiling and shaking his butt, as he jokingly proclaimed, "I'm going to go have sex with the guard!"

The singer, born George O'Dowd, was ordered to spend five days working for the Department of Sanitation after pleading guilty in March to falsely reporting a burglary at his lower Manhattan apartment. When officers responded, rather than a burglar, they found cocaine instead.


But wait, there's more....

After completing his waste management duties for the day, George remained laughing and playful (probably due to the fact that a documentary film crew he is working with was still following him around). The singer can also be heard firing off a quick verbal retaliation to a heckler, who was then overjoyed by the fact he was zinged by New York's most famous trash man.

20. George is a great person. He is doing his duty and all of you who think that you are better than to clean your own alley or back yard are asses! He is very humbled buy this and just wants to do his time. For all of you who laugh at this, it is sad, because anyone who has more time on there hands to laugh and say bad things about someone they do not like needs a life. go look at something that you enjoy rather than shove insults into a bad experiance for someone else. George is a great singer and DJ and will bounce back from this experiance. Those who like to throw stones are the dirt George needs to clean up, so get on the street corners boys and girls if it means so much to you, he has three more days. I am sure he could fill a land fill of you asses. I love you George as does so many others, Big Love, Eden

21. At one point when diggin through the garbage dumpster,
"Gay George" saw what appeared to be the skeletal remains of some type of primate. At which time he immediatly alerted the guard.

Upon further inspection the "remains" turned out to be non other than MK OLSEN.. This seemed to startle "skeletor" at which point she HISSED at "Gay George" and then shuffled off into the undergrowth.

"Stay Alert, Stay Alive"

22. Why are photographers taking his picture, and why are people bothering this guy when he is ONLY doing community service??
THIS IS A NON-STORY and it is ignorant and sad that people entertain themselves by laughing and mocking others.
PLEASE GET A LIFE.

23. Dingo Lunch, I guess you ate the person AKA celebrity that you were talking about. Why do you not take your hate and go else where? I do not wish this sort of thing on you, but watch your ass sweet heart! Those who throw stones get hit in the head very hard! Go join Georges sweep up and go to the dirt where you belong ass. George, "Love Is Love" and we remember! I know you are OK! Big Love, EDEN

24. Oh well, He took a tumble 4 ya, or George would of missed you blind. Are the photographers from The Church of the Poison Mind? This could of been A War Song. It’s a Miracle he did not get more Time (Clock of the Heart). The Boy says “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?” His Black Money couldn’t get him all the way off. Karma Chameleon has finally caught up.

27. HAHAHA,

When the Judge said you can either pay your debt by helping others in the community; by talking to kids about drugs.
OR
You can go around all day picking up JUNK. Drug addict George thought he ment Drugs "get it? He is so stupid he got confussed"

29. What a sad update for such a talented singer. At least he did not have to go to prison where he would have possibly been attacked.
