#014 - Some Men Are Truly Saints.

I don't even really know where to begin with this story.

Just read it:


It's almost unfathomable that this kind of person exists in the world. I understand he just wants to make a buck, and that, realistically, he's only taking money from a professional sports organization and nobody is getting hurt here since they make plenty. But come on. What he's basically going to do is drive sports franchises to the point of never offering special promotions, especially on Mother's Day, a day which has become immensely popular across Major League Baseball for its support of breast cancer-related causes and expression of gratitude to all of the mothers and women out there (who are normally invisible to sports marketers). What he's trying to say is, "Hey, let's NOT promote women's health! Those bitches are always getting their way!" It's almost the same as going to an AIDS clinic and saying, "I don't have AIDS, but I want the drugs anyway." And then when they refuse to allow you to deprive a seriously ill person the treatment that they need, you sue them. Hooray for lawsuits. I propose that they form a committee, of 101 members (2 from every state plus me, the chairman) that overlooks all potential lawsuits, and just throws out the truly absurd ones like this. If you are in favor, clap your hands twice.

And it's again somewhat baffling that this comes from the state of California, a state which I feel like for a while had the perception of being forward-thinking, a haven for open sexuality, and a home to money-grubbing studio execs.

The studio execs are as money-grubbing as ever, but what the hell is going on with the rest of the state?
