There are a number of things you could ask Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson for advice on.

How to endlessly babble on about that time you got shot, for instance. Or how to sell yourself to as many branding opportunities as possible, to the extent where every slightly dim teenager in the world is decked out in a pair of Fiddy-approved trainers and sipping on a can of Official 'Keeping It Real' Misogyny-Flavour Pepsi.

You wouldn't, however, go asking him any questions about the production of music. Unless, that is, you wanted your new album to sound like his: roughly the same as a slowed-down Geoff Boycott mumbling about bitches over a Casio keyboard 'polka' setting.

It seems like no-one told Lindsay Lohan this.

hecklerspray learns from its mistakes almost on a daily basis. For instance, that time we helped Myanmar violently suppress bald, orange protesters, we learned the rubber bullets are in the left pouch, the shiny ones are in the right. Imagine our embarrassment. We should have known which side to grab for ahead of time, but our belt looked backward in the mirror. We see ourselves in the mirror lots when we dress in riot gear - especially when the light is hitting us just so...

But next time we have to use non-lethal tactics on peaceful religious people, we'll definitely reach for the right ammo - because we learned from our mistakes. It took the flesh wounds of like 3 Burmese teenagers and upwards of 60 exploded cats, but still, we learned from that mistake.

As we should. Lindsay Lohan learns from her mistakes too. The lesson she picked up most recently is that booze-riddled driving = 84 minutes in jail. She learned that because that's exactly how much time she just got done serving for her past vehicular transgressions.

As great as community service is, we can't imagine a more unsettling sight than lying back to give blood and seeing Lindsay Lohan hovering over you like some sort of skinny vampire.

But for a handful of lucky Los Angeles blood-donors, that's exactly what they'll see. Now that she's finally out of rehab following her DUI arrests, Lindsay Lohan is now accepting her punishment - 10 days working at an American Red Cross blood services facility. Yesterday Lindsay Lohan worked a seven-hour shift at an LA blood bank, and is expected to do the same again today. Working her community service at the blood bank is thought to be the closest that Lindsay Lohan has ever come to giving blood, because even after rehab the residual amount of booze left in her system would probably be enough to curdle a normal human's heart if it was ever used in a transfusion.
