Ron Artest

Several weeks ago, we brought you the story of Ron Artest's decision to change his legal name to the wonderfully weird "Metta World Peace." It was a bizarre choice entirely befitting Artest's personality, but also a very nice (albeit overly idealistic) attempt to make the world a better place. This name will not hurt anyone. At worst, it will make us laugh. At best, it will solve all the world's problems. I am an optimist and choose to expect the latter.
