WARNING: THIS POST IS NOT CHILD-FRIENDLY. REALLY.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I'm seeing a pattern. Turns out that Tiger Woods and Jesse James (guys with those names have to become celebrities, don't they?) are junkies. They're addicts. Now they qualify for rehab. And it's a good thing, too. Because it looks like the REAL victims of Tiger's and Jesse's "indiscretions" aren't Elin and Sandra. Oh sure, we all thought they were the victims when the stories first hit the news. We all understand why Elin went after the Big Cat with a golf club, and none of us believed his assurances that there was no club. We have all wept, at least metaphorically, for Sandra when Biker Boy's trysts began to come to light AFTER she made those heart-breaking statements from different awards platforms about how much she loves him and relies on him.
But, folks, it looks like we rushed to our conclusions. It looks like the real victims were Big Cat and Biker Boy. Why, you may reasonably ask? Because, for crying out loud (and they've both done nearly everything but that), NOBODY TOLD THEM that if they weren't careful about where they put their wee-wees and how many times they put them there, they might become junkies!! And that's exactly what happened!
They both have WANDERING WEE-WEE DISEASE. Well, they might have several diseases--that's not been made public . . . yet. Anyway, the point is that because nobody informed them of the potential risks involved in philandering, they contracted Wandering Wee-Wee Disease and they are now junkies, addicts, stricken with an illness. They are the real victims!
Fortunately, our celebrity-obsessed culture and it's unscrupulous media outlets will make sure that we hear about every friggin' step each of them takes as they recover from their illnesses and reclaim the lives that, really, were taken from them by the people--whoever they are--that should have told them about the risks they were taking. Oh, and the women who made junkies of them. It's their fault, too.
The poor boys. Tiger and Jesse--they're the victims in their situations. They're sick.
I have a cure for their addictive illnesses--it involves a rusty sardine can lid and no anesthesia, but I probably shouldn't lay out the specifics in this venue.

ouch!
ReplyDeleteI perceive that you feel rather strongly about this topic! American culture is rather interesting. But hey, it will all be OK because we have Mrs. Pres. planting bock choy in the garden this year.
We don't need more news, we need more of the right news. Or perhaps more of the right perspective on the news we inhale. A perspective that reminds us that most folks around us are missing out on God's will for their lives (or body parts) and we have the ability (and responsibility) to share this news with them.
After all, if we inhale national media every time we turn around, shouldn't we give back? Let's give back a dream for people that includes more than self delusional dreams of relationships that never develop out of immature physical addictions (now disease) and the dreams that planting a little known vegetable will change the world. How about Jesus' dying on the cross? Now, that's some news people NEED....
Preach on!
