@DC The warning at the beginning was an attempt to stop all the bitching about "whahh he's a thug" or "rap sucks." Although as you can see it failed. It's funny how no one here whined about Iggy Pop being a heroin addict, but as soon as Biggie's on the page they all have to complain about his being a lowlife. As far as the pregnancy, that was my mistake, from reading this in Wikipedia: "In June 1996, Tupac Shakur released "Hit 'Em Up"; a diss song in which he explicitly claimed to have had sex with Wallace's wife (at-the-time estranged), and that Wallace copied his style and image. Wallace acknowledged the former, referring to it in regards to his wife's pregnancy on Jay-Z's "Brooklyn's Finest""
About the parent's lawsuit, that was merely a typo, I was writing a lot of 1990s dates and slipped up.
I think the thing that should really open our eyes is that the family is still so poor after the success of the movie. She should have a good chunk of the profits from the movie and thus, her parents shouldn't want or need to sell her at all.
Limboslam, that's because whenever a pit bull attacks someone, the news says "A pitbull attack!" On the other hand, when a German shepard attacks, they merely say "a dog attacked someone today." They're all about sensationalism and the dog breed is only a big deal if it happens to fit their profile.
Very cool, I loved this movie and the facts are fantastic! One thing though, you wrote this part in there twice: Most of the scenes were shot on location in Wetumpka, Alabama, and Prattville, Alabama.
@ Cb, you're right, they are involved in a lot of bites, but it does depend on the person who raises them. The truth is though, when they ban pit bulls, drug dealers and dog fighters merely adopt other dogs to do their dirty, like the rottweilers and pinschers. As your statistics said, rotts have attacked a disproportionate number of people as well, yet their name isn't nearly as feared and far fewer areas ban them.
To all pit owners: I have a pit bull(or staffi)/corgi mix and most people don't recognize him as a pit until I tell them. It is amazing the reactions that people give him (half say, oh, well, he doesn't act like it and the other half are suddenly terrified and run, even though they loved him before) and it really makes me sad that they are so misled about such a sweet animal. http://www.muttskis.com/short_hair/percy-staffordshire-terriercorgi/

It's actually a very interesting read even aside from learning about his blatant plagiarism of her work. She lived a very sad life.
Thanks Wes
MadMolecule, I made that change. Good catch.
