A judge ruled that comedian Dane Cook be evicted from his apartment after failing to clean up his dog's droppings. That's already kinda funny, but it gets much better according to TMZ:
Cook claims he only rented the apartment in the first place because his heroes, Belushi and Martin, used to live in the same complex back in the day, and according to the court docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court, he would suffer serious "mental and emotional" damage -- and his career would crumble -- if he was forced to leave. In the docs, Cook claims, "I know that the presence of those that have lived there before me affects me deeply and provides me with inspiration."
Cook went on to say, "In the same way that writers can get writer's block, comedians can really easily run out of ideas and 'stories'; I am extremely frightened that this will happen to me if I am forced to move out of my apartment. I've seen it happen to other comics, that something interferes with their connection to their creative muse, and it's destroyed careers."

While it does make a little bit of sense, hopefully this is just Dane being funny. He is a funny guy you know. It's hard to believe that the souls of Belushi and Steve Martin are helping him with material considering 1) Steve Martin is still alive somewhere, and 2) Dane can always just steal jokes from lesser known comedians.
This does make me happy to live in a rural area where we don't only refuse to pick up dog shit, but we embrace it.
