There Is Such Thing as Bad Publicity

10:35 AM PDT on October 13, 2010

    Orange County hip-hop group Imperial Stars, which claims to be on a mission to help homeless children, were arrested after causing a massive traffic jam on the 101 yesterday morning. They took a giant bus and blocked the middle of the 101 in Hollywood and started performing their song "Traffic Jam" in front of thousands of angry commuters. Traffic eventually backed up all the way to the Valley. Co-conspirators filmed the whole thing for a remix video (see above) to be released at some point in the future. The band will be charged with obstructing traffic.

    UPDATE: The band may now be charged with a misdemeanor conspiracy charge.
