Yet another example of how hiphop persists in being America's stupid-assest cultural phenomenon:

The National Enquirer: Black Eyed Peas resist being 'Punk'd: The joke was on Ashton Kutcher and MTV's prank show 'Punk'd' when they staged a mock arrest of the hiphop group The Black Eyed Peas at a phony brothel -- and the rappers' entourage started punching out the pretend police! One friend of a band member slugged an off-duty cop hired to lend authenticity to the raid and another actor was tackled and knocked into the swimming pool. 'The masterminds at 'Punk'd' will think twice before they try to pull another prank on The Black Eyed Peas!' said an insider.
