Teen nights at Blacks in Wax museum nixed
Today we reported on the decision by officials at the Great Blacks in Wax museum to cut ties with a promoter who had pitched a series of teen parties as Christian fundraisers but which featured "'She's Got a Donk' sexy dancing" contests and fliers with men flashing gang signs and the middle finger. A 20-year-old was stabbed and killed there Friday after fights broke out in the overflow crowd. The museum's deputy director had previously stood by the event, saying that they were positive functions and that the organizers couldn't be responsible for what happened outside the museum. But after we sent him the fliers, he quickly formed a different opinion.
Not surprisingly, the Myspace page from where I pulled those fliers has been set to private as of today. Even though the URL remains myspace.com/biglesproductionsinc, they've changed the name to "Young Fly and Flashy Promotions" and have put a different person's name on the profile.
