A few things of note happening this week... well, probably more than a few, but given the explosion of Twitter/Facebook/whatever new medium is out there (Google +), there are a bunch of posts by the idiot masses of society, of which very few subjects actually matter:
The Casey Anthony verdict... OH THE OUTRAGE. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? Guess what- if you followed the entirety of this trial, you are an asshole, for potentially many different reasons... Let us go through them:
1. You have no life- you heard about this new "trial of the century." You followed every twist and turn of the trial. You consider yourself an expert at law. And somehow, despite your expertise at law, the jury went the other way. YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE!
2. You think Casey Anthony is now going to capitalize on her fame, and just drink, have sex, and have a merry old time for the rest of her days. Maybe even get a reality TV show... How dare she capitalize on the fame THAT YOU GAVE HER!!! Maybe it says something about me, but I had no idea who Casey Anthony was until 2 weeks ago when a friend asked me about her. And you know what? I still didn't have any idea who she was until the verdict came down. And now that everyone has made a big deal about it- I DON't GIVE A SHIT. That's how it should be. Horrible things happen in this country all the time (sorry to say, but much worse things that the Casey Anthony situation happen every single day... EVERY SINGLE DAY, but no one cares about most of those situations). If she gets famous, its the fault of the same people who claim they are mad because she might get famous, as they will be the only ones paying any type of attention to her. Me? In five minutes I will have no idea who she is once again... But you guys enjoy being self-righteous when she gets on TV and you contribute to her ratings...
3. You think that the prosecution was incompetent. Everyone is all of the sudden law experts... Casey Anthony is the new OJ... Guess what, it takes a hell of a lot to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt. And you know what? No matter how heinous the crime (and I agree that the crime was heinous), if the defense was able to instill doubt within one juror, GOOD. That means the system is working. How many innocent persons were wrongly convicted and had their lives ruined? Does that mean that some guilty people go free? Yes it does. But if some self-righteous vigilante ends up killing Casey Anthony, THAT person should get put to death, by the same mob that is calling for HER life, or else all of those people are hypocrites (even thought they will probably be the same ones watching her reality show and giving it record ratings).
Derek Jeter got 3,000 hits. In my opinion, this is the more significant feat. At least this one brings most people together in a positive way around a common cause (although the ASSHOLE Red Sucks fans will likely complain, at least they will all be complaining together).
1. Finally, a baseball player that has never taken steroids has done something rare... only the 28th person of all time to get 3,000 hits, and the first Yankee (meaning he is the only one that matters)...
2. Someone who has always stayed loyal to his team, and represents everything that is right with the world. He represents NY well (by banging only the hottest of the hot chicks), and has never wavered in his willingness to go all out. He will forever be know as The Captain for a reason...
3. Gave people something to cheer for- going 5-5 in a Yankees victory should cause more cheers than a JURY verdict about anything. That's the thing about a jury... they listen to fact, and then make a decision based on the law and the facts presented... if someone is not found guilty its because one of those two reasons- the LAW or the FACTS didn't provide enough reason for a guilty verdict.
But I hope everyone enjoys both reality shows... Jeter's on HBO, and Casey Anthony's on whatever channel, the rest of that bullshit was on... All it means is that you are all assholes who like to either live vicariously through people who don't care about you at all, or you wanted to "die" vicariously through someone you thought should be put to death but wasn't. And if you're reading this and are righteously indignant about my comments about Casey Anthony, you probably already know what time and channel her reality show will be on and have it DVR'd, which is something I will never have, so you can go fuck yourself... same thing with those who DVR'd Jeter's 3,000th hit and plan on not erasing it for years. Get a fucking life...
