The worldwide epidemic of professional sports
I was just raked over the coals for almost 2 hours from a friend of mine because she disagreed with my superior logic. Here's a transcript:
Me: Professional sports are super dumb and the athletes are overpaid and consider themselves demi-gods.
The other person: You're just jealous! I hate you!
Me: I think you should be a little objective about this. Sports figures get paid astronomically for...what?
TOP: You're stupid!
Me: College guys are doing it for free, despite loser signing bonuses, but they aren't all drafted into the Worldwide Sports Machine, so they aren't deterred so much as to not even try.
TOP: You're dumb and you like to kiss your own butt.
Me: Rrrrrright.
At this point it was obvious that I was not going to through to this person. I felt sad, but knew in my heart that there are few individuals able to realize that the amount of money we pay yearly into the sports machine would solve most 3rd world countries financials problems for 150 years. Not that it should go there, it should go to our government and fix the deficit. But that's not what you wanted to hear, is it.

The only good professional sport these days is Professional Wrestling. These guys really put their heart and soul into their work, and don't get paid anything near what they should to be jumping around and fighting. And the drama, well let's just say pretty soon Wrestling will be on TNT, because THEY know Drama!

TNT is coming out with a new mini-series called "Shore Acres". They're promising lots of drama and lots and lots of magic cheddies.
