Ron Artest became the first contestant kicked out of Dancing With the Stars, and not a moment too soon. But wouldn’t it be great if, like George Costanza in Seinfeld, he just showed up for work next week like nothing happened, and started dancing?
But Metta took his pink slip like the pro that he is, smiling from ear to ear with his arms raised high in triumph, and entreaties of “Who’s coming with me?” to the rest of the cast. And it was fun while it lasted: I enjoyed his open declarations of hotness of all his cast members. His entreaties to dance with Bergeron and hit the clubs with Nancy Grace. His brazen wish to “inspire every Chippendale in the world.” Well, Metta: Maybe the other Chippendales can scoot over and make space for you on their roster, now that you’ve got some time on your hands.
Bad: Metta World Artest said that he lost because he “didn’t put in enough time and effort.” Good: He said that any money he wins will go toward cancer research.

Yeah, he’ll be back soon. As panel 3 illustrates, nothing bad could ever happen in the wild.
