Chris Rock: Heroin > Rape

Back in 2001, Chris Rock was worried about being accused of raping a woman. He contacted a big shot Hollywood Private Investigator to help his case since he actually hadn't raped the woman. Highlight of the phone conversation which has just recently come out? This:

"I'm [bleep]ed. I'm better getting caught with needles in my arm, way better, needles, with pictures. There's Chris Rock shooting heroin - much better blow to the career."

Chris Rock is one smart guy. Yes, heroin is, what some consider a victimless crime, whereas in rape, there is always a victim. But imagine if Rock had thought the rape charge was good for his career. Now that would have been news.

Anyway, the full audio of the conversation has come out on various web sites since the PI is now being investigated for illegal wiretapping. What do you think would be better for his career?
