Innocent Fun?

Maybe not.
I know we expect too much of our ‘heroes’, but really…win a bronze medal and simulate sex in public? No.
Scotty Logo’s street behavior after his Bronze Medal winning half-pipe run was an embarrassment to him, the stuffed shirts at the IOC, and the the American public, to say nothing of the girl, who’s gonna’ have a hard time explaining that picture to the grandchildren in 20 years.

Joe Francis made millions with GGW videos, but BGW – I don’t think we’re ready. Ok, so it’s a double standard. But the trampelettes on Joe’s videos aren’t Olympic Medalists. They’re drunken college coeds with too much money, too much time, and not enough inhibitions.
I don’t mean to be all moral and pontificatious, but we all know what was implied.
Half-pipe and most snowboarding events are little more than skate ratting on snow. I love the sport, I’m not impressed with the mentallity and the attitude.
It’s bad enough that Shaun White and his coach can’t say two sentences without the “F” word and can’t remember that every word they say is being recoreded, and it’s bad enough that Shaun White and Scotty acted like fools during the National Anthem while on the medal platform – (just a reminder to anyone else winning a medal for the US: hand over heart, learn the words, I know it’s hard to sing and musically bad, but it’s OUR national anthem, SING IT!), but really, Scotty and the girl…is that necessary?
And Scotty, millions of kids are watching you, and you do have a responsibility to behave decently in public. You may want to Text Tiger for details.
So behave.
Oh, yes, good job on the ABS, BTW!

Whenever I see stuff like this (and it’s disturbingly far too often), I wonder just where we’ve gone wrong as a society. When did it become okay to behave like that? Sigh. I get so weary when I see these rock star personalities, blessed beyond reason with talent and ability, and they can’t see beyond their own ego far enough to realise that their actions do indeed affect other people. Selfish, selfish, selfish. And immature, too. I’d better quit typing before I get really hacked off. Grrrrr…

I missed this completely. However, I did see the footage live when Shaun White won Gold. The broadcasters even said “well, there a few f-bombs being thrown around now” and I was agasp that the announcers would even say that!
Seriously, I know the snowboarding group is about having fun and all that. But, it’s about respect period for our country. It’s the friggin Olympics!
hmph

His behavior is repulsive. Get a room. Get a filter.
