This idea that the Rutgers women's basketball team should be off-limits to mockery and criticism because they're wonderful specimens of humanity who are uplifting all females and so forth, and Oprah is proud to call herself a W-O-M-A-N because of them, and all this other horsecrap...
PTUI! Anybody can be mocked, because
this is America. There is nobody so special and precious that some aspect of their pure, irreplacable being can't be defecated upon by some bitter crank. Sorry! You don't have to like it, but you do have to accept the concept, because it's what our whole country was built on. If you're in the news, there is the outside chance that somebody somewhere who is paid (or not) to comment on the news might say something about you that you don't like, even though you're a really great person and it's totally unfair. Oh well!
For God's sake, we have got to stop taking ourselves so seriously. What did the one girl say, "This has scarred me for life" or something like that? How? Some corny old Caucasian fellow on the radio says something mean about your hair and uses rap slang to describe your femininity. Okay then, go ahead and shoot yourself in the head right now, because what's the use in living. Ugh. Sorry to go off on a Dennis Miller, but it just infuriates me.
