Good thing I'm not famous
Unfortunately, the Olympics are serving as another platform for mainstream media to display their imbecility. I am so tired of reading headlines and hearing poppycock stories of Chad Hedrick, Shani Davis, and Bode Miller. Here's one example.Really, if you don't put as much effort into pleasing reporters as you do your athletic competition, they can peg you any way they want and make you into either a memorable, cute, and sensitive snowboarder from Colorado, or the biggest jerk in the world who takes everything about the Olympics for granted. Even Shani Davis ripped into the reporters when they continued their gold-medal pursuit of creating this huge, ugly, behind-the-scenes brawl that they wanted to be taking place with him and Hedrick. He said something like, "I'm sure you'd all like to see us roll around in the snow and have a big fist fight, but the truth is, we're both just serious competitors."
Anyway, I'm laughing at every story I read about or watch on TV. It confirms how the media twists reality to make entertainment or support their agenda. If I were a famous Olympic athlete, I'd have none of it, and probably fall into the Hedrick and Miller "Jerk" category. Is Bob Costas ever going to get old and retire?
