In the middle of the night
I heard the sports commentator
(or whatever he was) on CNN say:
"America worships its athletes."
The ringing of a bell sounded in my
half-asleep brain. WORSHIPS?!?
Oh yes, this deal, the SPORTS hero.
Not to be confused with the pedophile
pop MUSIC hero we just finished with -
(well, there will actually be no foreseeable
end to the wormlike pieline of crap praising
Pedophile Land's creator, and most fervent,
and public, promoter).
But Jackson and Woods. Worshipped.
Yes, it's true. It's also incredibly stupid.
America's obsession with dimwitted morons
like Jackson/Woods, and puerile pastimes like
the sport (SPORT???) of golf,
("PUT IT IN THE HOLE, DUMMY!"),
as the country staggers toward bankruptcy,
and a billion worldwide go hungry,
isn't just pathetically immature,
and irresponsible, it's deadly.
False idols come in many forms.
They say the PGA tour and its sponsors
will lose a LOT of money here.
Good. It's better spent elsewhere.
Screw the PGA tour and its sponsors.
Are there sandtraps in hell?
Unknown, but there's plenty of
them here - in the form of fire hydrants,
sleezy porn stars, bad judgement,
the jackals in the media,
and ALL THAT DAMN CASH!!!!
FORE!!!!
