Weird stuff

Well now, that was about a scary commercial. Some drug (I forget what ailment it's supposed to help) claims to cause less major bleeding than its competitors.

Hey, I don't want ANY major bleeding. Hello? In fact, none at all would be highly preferable, thank you very much. And that's not even to mention the possible side effects of numb lips, tingly feeling limbs, nausea, irregular heartbeat, and other stuff in the small print at the bottom of the screen. Who in their right mind would gobble a few of those pills?

I'm still trying to get my head around the ad a while back that said if you experience a fatal event, call your doctor right away.

Ah yes, His Highness was back. That would be one Eldrick Tont Woods, sometimes known as Tiger.

In the current golf tournament going on in California (Genesis Open), per usual the viewing public was bombarded with Tiger this and Tiger that.

Never mind he was 5 strokes off the lead after one round.

Key up the Tiger highlights, dammit. And make sure to get an interview. So sayeth the networks.

Also never mind that after the cut came, he was another whopping 5 strokes behind qualifying (having butchered his second round), there were more -- and more -- and more clips of Eldrick.

Yours truly was watching ESPN's sportscenter at about 10 PM when I dozed off. Tiger, Tiger, Tiger. Dude gives me nightmares any more. Then I woke up a few hours later. Guess what? They were STILL talking about Woods.

Hey, didn't this guy bomb out of yet another tournament? Isn't he the same has been that's not even ranked in the top 500 in the world anymore? So why do they keep devoting so much air time to him? Great once? Sure. Nowadays? A hack. Get used to it.

The ongoing idolatry practiced by the Tiger groupies is some weird stuff indeed.

What is it with these people?
