Fuck, didn’t baseball die like 15 years ago? People still pay attention to this shit?

Listen, if you don’t already assume that everyone in baseball was at one point on steroids, you probably also enjoy Deal or No Deal. But it’s like the ONLY thing they talk about on Sportscenter now, not to mention all the scrolls at the bottom of the screen are all about this shit.

We fucking know they did it. Who fucking cares? Fuck Barry Bonds, fuck Roger Clemens.

The big news now is that A-Rod did it. At least the guy came clean about it. At least he didn’t forget English or “not want to talk about the past.” Leave the guy alone already and stop putting it all over the news. He’s had a hard enough year, what with fucking Madonna and everything.

I don’t give a shit about Bonds or Clemens or any of these assholes. They all did it. Guilty. Period. Shut the fuck up.

And speaking of overplayed stories, all that Michael Phelps shit last week was goddamn annoying.

However, one thing I did want to touch on is something that I was surprised didn’t get picked up by most writers save for one on ESPN.

They utter hypocrisy of the whole story was remarkable. Famous white athlete gets caught smoking weed! Probably 75% of the stories I read about it went along these lines: “What’s the big deal? It’s just marijuana. It’s his off-season. He’s young and he’s allowed to make mistakes. It’s not like he’s hurting anyone.” The thing is, I don’t disagree with this thought process at all. What’s the big deal? It’s just marijuana. It’s his off-season. He’s young and he’s allowed to make mistakes (if you want to call smoking weed a mistake). It’s not like he’s hurting anyone.

I agree.

The rest of the stories were the other side, condemning him and saying he’s supposed to be a role model blah blah blah.

Well, where was this sentiment this past summer when famous black athlete Josh Howard came out and said he smoked weed in the offseason.

So back then when it was Josh Howard where was What’s the big deal? Where was It’s just marijuana? Where was It’s his off-season. Where was He’s young and he’s allowed to make mistakes? Where was It’s not like he’s hurting anyone?

Or how about ANY instance of this in the past ten years. Where was this when Damon Stoudemire got busted? Where was this when Rasheed Wallace got busted? Where was this when Chris Webber got busted? Or Allen Iverson?  Marcus Camby?
Am I supposed to believe there isn’t some sort of racial issue here? I was astounded by how many journalists came out in support for Phelps. Where was all this love for Josh Howard? He got absolutely slaughtered in the media for his admission of his off-season use.

So here’s my thing: if you’re going to treat the issue as it really should be treated (that is, who cares) how about treating it like that for everyone and not just white olympic heros.

First, the article from CNN:

BEIJING, China (CNN) — A married Chinese businessman who could no longer afford five mistresses held a competition to decide which one to keep.

But the contest took a fatal turn when one of the women, eliminated for her looks, drove the man and the four other competitors off a cliff, Chinese media reported.

The spurned mistress died and the other passengers were injured, the reports said.

Police initially thought the car had plummeted off a mountain road in eastern China on December 6 by accident. Then they learned of the contest through a letter the dead woman had left behind, the Shanghai Daily newspaper said.

The 29-year-old woman, identified only as Yu, was a waitress when she met the businessman at a restaurant in the coastal city of Qingdao in 2000.

At the time, the businessman, identified only by his last name — Fan — was married and had four other mistresses, according to the Peninsula Metropolis Daily newspaper in Qingdao.

The women knew of one another, but none elected to break up with the man and give up their rent-free apartment and a 5,000 yuan ($730) monthly allowance, the reports said.

When the economy soured, the businessman apparently decided to let go of all but one mistress.

He staged a private talent show in May, without telling the women his intentions. An instructor from a local modeling agency judged the women on the way they looked, how they sang and how much alcohol they could hold, the Shanghai Daily said.

The judge knocked out Yu in the first round of the competition based on her looks. Angry, she decided to exact revenge by telling her lover and the four other women to accompany her on a sightseeing trip before she returned to her home province, the media reports said.

It was during the trip that Yu reportedly drove the car off the cliff.

Fan shut down his company after the crash and paid Yu’s parents 580,000 yuan ($84,744) as compensation for her death.

The four other women left him, as did his wife when she learned of the affairs.

Too.  Awesome.

The balls on this guy!  I love it!  First, the fact that he had five mistresses AND a wife:  AWESOME.

And you’ve gotta love what this says about the mentality of Chinese women: “The women knew of one another, but none elected to break up with the man and give up their rent-free apartment and a 5,000 yuan ($730) monthly allowance, the reports said.”  Wow, a woman who loves money, shocking!  The self esteem of these chicks must not have been good, BUT especially the one that drove them all off a cliff.

And by the way, what the fuck cliff did she drive them off??  It sounds like it was more of a “hill” than a “cliff.”  Who drives six people off a cliff and only one person dies?  I’m not impressed with a 1/6 success rate for a murder/suicide.

And back to the balls on this guy!  He had a judge come in to rate the women!  And one of the factors was how much they could drink!  Does this guy offer classes?  Can we PLEASE give him US citizenship and declare him a national hero?  “Hey Jack, how much can these bitches drink?”  “A lot, sir.”  “Get me the one who can drink the most.  AND sing the National Anthem.”

This isn’t even to mention yet one other way the tanking world economy is affecting society.  Rich ass Chinese businessmen can no longer afford their FIVE mistresses and have to go with only the best one!  Fuck!  This shit is getting brutal.

Anyway.  Greatest story ever.

Anyone see these pictures of Daschle’s fruity red glasses?  What the fuck was with those?

A smarter person would have installed a plug-in on this blog a long time ago so I could post pictures.  But if you haven’t seen any of the pictures, just go to Google Images and search for “Daschle gay glasses,” I’m sure it will show up.

Seriously, the guy looked like Sarah Jesse Raphael.  Didn’t this asshole make like millions of dollars in the last few years?  Wouldn’t you think he could afford to NOT look like a talk show host from the 1980’s?

It was like when George Costanza bought lady’s glasses.  Too bad Daschle didn’t have Kramer looking out for him.

And what’s with all these assholes not paying their taxes?  Is there anyone in this country who can be held accountable for ANYTHING?

According to my brother, the character is indeed Destro and NOT Dextro.  I guess I’m a moron.

Two quick thoughts.

First, wow, no ad from PETA.  Shocking.  This further proves that the media = FAIL.  It’s not like PETA went and edited their commercial or did anything else.  Why?  Because they were NEVER EVER GOING TO AIR AN AD FOR THREE MILLION DOLLARS DURING THE SUPER BOWL.  God the media is fucking stupid.

Second, Cash for Gold’s ad was, I thought, pretty funny.  I mean, Ed McMahon and MC Hammer shilling for Cash for Gold?  Pretty awesome.  Although I am a little bit upset that the bitch who sold her gold wedding ring from her first marriage didn’t get any Super Bowl air time.  That would have been spectacular.

So apparently they’re making a live action GI Joe movie.

As a child, GI Joe’s were pretty much my favorite toys.  I probably owned 200 of them, not to mention dozens of vehicles.  I used to setup giant frozen wars in my bedroom that I would leave untouched for days.  So, as you can imagine, GI Joe has sort of a special place in my heart.

Now, I’ve yet to see the trailer for the live action movie, and I’m almost scared to watch.  Because I am pretty certain there’s no way it can be any good.

Out of curiosity I checked out the cast list tonight.  First of all, there’s no Dextro in the movie.  What the fuck?  How are you going to make a GI Joe movie with no Dextro.  However, someone is playing a guy named Destro.  Um…Destro?  Is that supposed to be Dextro?  What the hell? Second, Cobra Commander is being played by…Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Now, you might be wondering, who the fuck is that?  Well he’s the kid (I guess he’s not a kid anymore) from Third Rock From the Sun.  Um…and he’s Cobra Commander?  I suppose that you never actually SEE Cobra Commander’s face, but…if you could, I somehow doubt he’d look like the kid from Third Rock From the Sun.  So, strike one.

Strike two: Marlon Waynes is playing Ripcord.  Marlon Waynes.

Anyway, I’ll get around to watching this trailer at some point, but if these assholes aren’t shooting laser guns that never actually kill anyone, well, that’s a real problem for me.

They’re also now showing all these commercials for some terrible looking movie called Fired Up about high school cheerleading camp, or some shit.

Now, this movie just looks horrible.  But my real issue is that this dude Eric Christian Olsen is supposed to be playing a high school student.  You might know him from movies such as The Last Kiss, Beerfest (he was one of the Germans), or Not Another Teen Movie.

I kinda like this guy.  But…he’s supposed to be a high school student in this movie?  This dude is 31 years old in real life!  There was nobody else to cast for this role?  31!  And he’s supposed to be a high school student!  The fuck?

Anyway, whatever.
