Call Me… Metta World Peace!

Call Me… Metta World Peace

The enigmatic Ron Artest wants to legally change his name from “Ronald William Artest Jr.” to “Metta World Peace.”

After being a community person for the Los Angeles Lakers after the Malice at the Palace, Artest wants to change his name for personal reasons.

Well, according to the American Constitution he can change his name to whatever he wants. But this is so rich that I expect the gag writers of Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien et al to have a field day on this.

What I want to know is -- how is he related to World B. Free?

How will this sound --?
