Looking at the accompanying photo of Boy George reporting for his five-day community service sentence in lower Manhattan, we're reminded of that old joke, "How many photographers does it take to document a disgraced 1980s pop star repaying his humiliating debt to society?" (Answer: 25, and one cop pretending to protect his dignity while taking cameraphone pics to show his wife when he gets home.) According to reports, after less than an hour of shouts of "Over here! Boy! Boy, this way! Hold the broom up higher!" the singer finally snapped, shooting back "This is supposed to be making me humble. Let me do this, I just want to do my job," before officials sequestered him into a fenced off area, where the chunky Mr. Clean valiantly swept and carted imaginary garbage across a sanitation parking lot.
