Many have pointed out that what a lot of gays, suburban housewives and Eminem have in common is a love of peroxide and an addiction to prescription drugs.

When the homophobe and general all-around jerk Eminem announced the cancellation of his European tour earlier this week, the reason given for the cancellation was "exhaustion."

Now, his publicist is admitting that he checked into a rehab center because of an addiction to prescription sleeping pills. The drugs the jerk has been using are members of the opiate family, like heroin, and they are not just highly addictive but also they cause the body to build up a resistance and so to get the same effect the addict must take ever-increasing quantities of the drugs.

Overdoses can be fatal, but those who have in the past been offended by Eminem's racism, homophobia and obnoxiousness shouldn't get their hopes up. (By Scott Rose)
