DON'T FORGET THE MOB

Joe Labero wants a show in Las Vegas. But the Swedish magician probably won't get his wish -- not after being quoted as saying Vegas is run by "Jewish business syndicates, American dollar millionaires and homosexual booking agents."

According to The Local:

As a prelude to his controversial thesis, Labero explained that he has long been close to getting his own show in Las Vegas.

"But at the end of the day it seems to be impossible -- unless you are a homosexual, a Jew or an American.

"I don't mean to sound prejudiced of course, I'm just cynical. A blond Swedish Viking will have a hard time breaking through the hierarchies that control Vegas, where power rests in the hands of Jewish business syndicates, American dollar millionaires and homosexual booking agents.

"But I will get there, sooner of later," Labero told the magazine Kupé.

Labero is reportedly setting aside his Vegas plans and aiming for the Asian market.
