Yesterday, while watching a national news network, I observed a story about a man who spent his "life savings" at a carnival, trying to win an X-Box.
Instead, he won a stuffed banana with dreadlocks.
And apparently, he paid almost $3000 for it.
At a CARNIVAL.
Of course, I think I've mentioned the story about the Northern State weekend anchor person who, on his first night of broadcasting, used several profanities as the camera was firing up.
On his FIRST BROADCAST.
You would figure that in the course of getting a college degree in broadcast journalism, the first lesson would be, "Don't use profanities when you're MIKED UP."
Of course, he didn't get a second broadcast. He was fired before the camera went dark on that fateful Sunday night.
Of course, this fellow was given national attention; with his moments of glory on TODAY, LETTERMAN, mentioned on CNN, FOX and all sorts of LATE SHOWS...and interviewed by the ghastly Kelly and Michael. And further rewarded with a red carpet gig at some such award show.
And the banana winner has people opening Indegogo accounts to get him his money back.
My question:
WHY ARE WE REWARDING THESE PEOPLE FOR ASSHATTERY?

That carnival guy? From NH. He's the exception that proves my rule about all NH folks being tight with a buck. Also? His life savings was $2600. That's really sad!
