Pants on the Ground is one of the hottest songs in the USA. We knew this was going to happen the first time we heard the catchy tune on American Idol. We suspected it reached its peak after Brett Farvre started singing the tune to get his team ready for a playoff game. But Larry Platt’s 15 Minutes continues. It debuted at number 46 on Billboards Top 100. Well there really isn’t much of a story here but hey good for Larry!!! However I preferred the acapella version.

Tiger Woods: I’m Sorry That I Got Caught

I found a few minutes this morning to get away and listen to the press conference. This was the biggest news story since man supposedly landed on the moon. And yes Tiger is sorry. He apologized to his Wife, his kids, his corporate sponsors, his fans, his newspaperboy and to TMZ for making the press conference so early in the morning. Once again as I have said in my past posts “WHY SHOULD WE GIVE A FLYING FIG?”
Well I’ll tell you why we should care because we don’t have to hear about Haiti anymore and ABC “NEWS” can devote 1 hour of prime time to a 10 minute press conference. Who cares about hundreds of thousands of dead Haitian now we can concentrate on what really matter: Celebrity Shame. So now we can gather ’round the water cooler and discuss his public shame and point at the giant crimson A on his shirt.
So now we heard a statement written by everybody but Tiger and we have seen him mope his head. And we noticed that his wife is nowhere near him. So what does all this mean? WE SHOULDNT WE GIVE A FLYING FIG.

I don’t have the video but NBC has the video. I think we should not watch this video because it is just wrong and voyeuristic. I won’t make the link easy for you to get to since I find it obscene to watch a man’s death but here it is minus a few characters:

Nor will I create a hyperlink for you. Please read my previous post about how I feel and then you’ll understand why we should mourn a man’s death and not be entertained by it.

I was not a big fan of the Faces of Death videos when I was younger. I find it disgusting watching someone’s death. It is not for us to watch. I’m sorry if I am offending anyone out there but a car crash doesn’t interest me either.
I was horrified to hear about the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili this morning and I figured that the video would appear on Youtube in a matter of minutes. Sure enough the video made it on to Youtube and was promptly removed. Please understand this: HIS DEATH IS NOT FICTION. He has a family that is in shock and is mourning his death. His death should not be your entertainment.
