First, I want to extend a big Thank You! to Matt Hawkins, big cheese at Top Cow and writer of the great new comic Think Tank. Your posting of the link to my review upped the traffic here considerably over the last few days. For all of you that stayed for more than just the review, thank you as well, I'll make sure to make it worth your while (not that way; dirty, dirty mind). Onto this week's What The Friday
Dear London
-Matt
Under all of the pretty lights and pomp that comes with the
Olympic Games is the fact that people still have to play, and play to win, in
their respective sports. This is hard
enough when you are facing the “best in the world” but it makes it even harder
when there are technical glitches throughout the competition. Take the fencing example above, or the false
start by the “starting gun” operator in a swimming match that threw the timing
off for everyone involved (and possibly cost some of the competitors a chance a
t a medal). Today is Tuesday, it is only
the fourth day of the Olympic competition and yet there have been as many technical
miscues as there are blown calls in any game by the NBA’s Miami Heat.
Hey London ,
these people are under enough pressure to win for their country, quit making it
harder on them by employing faulty equipment.
Or is that humor to you? Do you
have Mr. Bean in the background silently messing stuff up? For shame London , for shame.
Dumbass of the Week!

I don’t care who you are, swimming 3500 miles is never a
good idea. He does realize that
commercial where Ryan Lochte said that he swam to England for the Olympics was
figurative right? 1 point for
spontaneity, -10 points for
stupidity.
All the right reasons
-Matt
Yeah, because any red-blooded male is looking at this
slideshow and trying to determine the volleyball hand-signals. There’s some quality journalistic integrity
Yahoo.
A right way and a
wrong way to handle things
-Matt
I am not going to make light of a suicide or a grieving
father and how he chooses to deal with that grief. However, the child got caught stealing, which
I would think reflects on his upbringing at least a little bit. The punishment for stealing was trash pickup
at lunch, a pretty soft punishment for theft if you ask me. Was the child probably teased a bit because
of it? Sure, what kid wouldn’t be? The reaction of the child to kill himself
because of this is not the fault of the school.
I would think that it has more to do with the parents and their lack of
discipline or their inability to see their son’s reaction to his punishment and
help him through it. This is certainly
no reason to shoot up a school of innocent children and administrators that
were just doing their job. The fact that
the father is in the education system himself (albeit at a college) makes it a
bit shocking that he would choose this course of action. This just reinforces the fact that parents
need to be involved in the lives of their children and grief, regardless of
where it originates from, should be dealt with and not allowed to fester and
turn into misguided revenge.
Further proof that
criminals aren’t the sharpest tool
-Matt
Would it be too much to hope that the dog bit the douchebag
that stole it by stuffing it down his pants right on the nuts? Seriously, how much did he expect to get from
the register anyway? People don’t go in
to a pet store and buy a $1000 Pomeranian with cash (maybe if they are drug
dealers). So you can’t get the register
open, so the next best thing is to steal a live animal? I hope that you get hit by a car and the dog
that you stole comes over and pisses on your lifeless corpse.
