KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — Taliban lawyers have filed formal charges against pop singer Chris Brown for "falsely representing himself as a Taliban terrorist," according to court documents obtained by Duffel Blog today.
The charges were filed in the Taliban Court of Beheadings, Stonings, and Justice in Waziristan on Thursday, in response to pictures circulating on the internet of Brown dressed as a terrorist for Halloween.
"How can Mr. Brown lay claim to being a terrorist?" said Taliban spokesperson Ahmad Gul Abjamen. "His beard--it is not befitting of a dog. Even my boy servant's beard is mightier than his."
