RAPPER Ice-T has revealed that he loves visiting Bangkok - because he can buy hordes of bootleg merchandise in the Thai capital.

The hip-hop star, real name Tracy Marrow, made his first visit to the Asian city early in his career and became a huge fan.

He told US TV host Jimmy Kimmel: "I like Bangkok. But if you're going over there for prostitution you gotta be a hard-up cat 'cause them chicks look real bad!

"I like it 'cause you can buy a lot of bootleg stuff. I'm into bootleg.

"Anything that's cheaper than what the designers are trying to get for it: clothes, bootleg DVDs, bootleg anything. Knock it off and I'm buying it. I love it!"

Ice-T, who plays a policeman in the popular series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, is particularly proud of his fake Giorgio Armani jeans.

He added: "These cost $20, Giorgio's cost $120 - the only difference is I still got $100 in my pocket!"

LOL Damn thats one cheap mutha fcuker. No wonder why his last wife dumped his ass!

I guess he won't be joing Thailand Friends anytime soon and get caught sending perv messages to female TF members.

I hope he finds some fake Durex!!

Ice T is fine? I definetly respect the hustle but I dont think even he would admit to thinking that he is fine. I guess being on TV = Fine His GF does have a huge ass for a white girl. I got to get my own show.

KhunDum > Playboy models don't play by the same rules I'm afraid! hahaha.. As it seems you noticed. But you could be a real model. ;-) As for Ice T .. I wouldn't know him if I saw him, not even if he had his name writen accoss his shirt and big medallion with the same. hmmm Maybe I just all too nice and polite.
