This past Tuesday in Burbank, California, 79-year old Joan Rivers chained herself to a Costco shopping cart, before leaving when police arrived at the scene, according to the L.A. Times.

Rivers said that Costco refused to sell her new book, "I Hate Everyone ... Starting with Me," which has made the New York Times bestseller list. According to Burbank spokesman Drew Sugars, Joan Rivers was still talking about her book while she was chained to the shopping cart. Do you think it's a publicity stunt or has the Hollywood personality gone bonkers?

Joan Rivers has been a dangerous threat to society for some time now.

But as dangerous threats go, she's a good one.

I was so ugly that they sent my picture to Ripley’s Believe It or Not and he sent it back and said, “I don’t believe it.”

I think all the plastic surgery she's had has stretched her face so tightly, that her brains (what few she had) squirted out her ears.

The cart was probably trying to run away--that face should be on the Walking Dead

Another horrible photo. She looks nothing like she did when she first became famous. The plastic surgery's definitely gone too far. Maybe they had to remove her brain for the last lift...

She doesn't sell her line of products at Costco, does she? Chaining herself to a table at QVC wouldn't get mentioned, so she went for Costco instead! At least she didn't have a wardrobe malfunction like Madonna and expose a nipple! AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHHHH!
