See that my good friend,
Andres DuBu, at Conesky had a meltdown on Twitter. Teach him to block me. How
long before they announce he is in rehab?
The “Academy Country Music
Awards” gave the Milestone award to Taylor Swift. Security was able to keep
Kanye West from storming the stage to say it should have gone to Beyonce.
In Finland, divers found 168
bottles of champagne that are 170-years-old. They are bottles of Chateau De
Larry King.
A group of Nevada prostitutes
are supporting Hillary Clinton as “Hookers for Hillary.” Upon hearing this,
Bill Clinton said; “I better get over there and see if they are legit.”
Today is 4/21. The day real
stoners celebrate 4/20 because they were too stoned yesterday to remember it.
A group of Nevada prostitutes
support Hillary Clinton as “Hookers for Hillary.” Now all the other campaigns
are following suit:
There are “Floozies for Ted
Cruz-y.”
“Rand Paul’s Women On Call”
“Mike Huckabee’s Women Who
Don’t $uck For Free,”
And Jeb Bush has, well, “Jeb’s
Bush.”
Yes, I still believe ESPN
should fire Britt McHenry.
Working as a broadcaster for
ESPN is one of those dream jobs, like being a recording star, a movie or TV
star, an NFL, NBA, or MLB player. It is one of those jobs where everyone in
your family and all of your friends take pride in knowing somebody who has that
job.
These high-profile jobs are a
privilege, not a right. When someone’s bad behavior damages the image of any of
those iconic institutions, they must be fired immediately.
In addition, firing McHenry
would send a message to all those duck-faced-selfie taking spoiled brats out
there that rude behavior has consequences.
If firing McHenry keeps one Cooper,
or Dylan, or Bailey, or Tyler, or Teegan, or Topher or Skylar, or Ryan from
bitching at a waiter, than it will be worth it.
Besides, how hard can it be
to replace a Britt McHenry? You can throw a Frisbee anywhere at my beloved UCSB
and hit three women smarter and prettier than Britt McHenry.
How people respond to this
Britt McHenry case says a lot about them. As a former waiter, this hit a nerve.
Most of the people I waited on were wonderful. But all it takes is one bitter,
frustrated small-minded soulless tool bent on torturing a service provider for fun to
ruin your entire month.
Oh, and I love how Britt
throws around her Masters of Journalism degree from Northwestern. All of
Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management programs are impeccable. Including
the Nonprofit Management Department my mother worked for.
But there are diploma mills
at Northwestern, and the Midell School of Journalism is one of them. Recently
they were cited for double dipping. They took tuition from the students and a
payment from the companies they provided interns.
Like other big time college
Masters program diploma mills, the Midell School of Journalism is a scam. The
company writes-off the tuition, the college makes a ton of money, and the
employee/students get a Masters degree from a famous institution for little or no effort.
So much for Britt’s advanced
journalism degree.
Of course, we all hate
tow-truck companies. They are scum and pirates with no conscience. End of story.
But the people who defend
Britt McHenry are the people who think a nice car and good job and an expensive
hairstyle are good enough excuses to abuse an employee who you’ll never see
again. Even if they work for leeches like towing companies. Or Red Robin.
The true measure of a person
is how well they treat people who cannot benefit them. Going by that barometer,
Britt McHenry and her defenders fall way short.
With felons like Michael
Irvin and Warren Sapp on their payroll, ESPN needs to shore up its image. And
firing that entitled nightmare, Britt McHenry, would be a good start.
