Stupid male comment

I’m not a big basketball fan. I admit I watch a few games, like around “March Madness” or whatever, but I really can’t get into too many NBA games since it seems like a bunch of overpaid people that whine in the off season playing around.

So last night I tried to watch the Laker / Pistons game. And here it is, in the first quarter and not much is going on so the announcer guys (and they are part of why I don’t really care about basketball) are making small chat about the coach for the Lakers. I think it was the Laker coach. Anyway, they kept showing this guy, except I couldn’t really see him because behind him is sitting this woman in a white shirt with a very deep V and she has these mammoth boobs.

I’m all for boobs, and I’m all for showing cleavage (only with her you’d have to make it Cleavage with a Capital “C”) but for some reason that’s all my mind could focus on when they would show the coach. Because of the angle, they never showed the poor woman’s head, just from the neck down. Yes, she was wearing a bra. See, I was paying attention. 🙂

Then I started thinking about how they put the ‘virtual billboard’ behind the batter during baseball games (on the wall behind home plate they project “viagra” or “gillette” or whatever”) and then my mind started thinking about how much somebody would have paid to stick an ad on this woman’s shirt, since across the country an untold number of males were probably sitting there just as mesmerized. Talk about a marketing opportunity!

After a bit of this I decided I just wasn’t into the game and I switched it off. I went to bed to dream of large boobies and advertising.

Cool movie

Okay – is it a guy thing?

    I think Bullitt is one of the great movies. Why?Because it’s a snapshot.

    Check this out:

  • Old buildings in and around San Francisco that aren’t there anymore.
  • Cars going fast, and sometimes crashing.
  • Cops that wear suits. Not just a jacket, but the tie, everything. Even on Sunday.
  • Pan Am and Trans World Airways.
  • No cell phones, beepers, PDA’s, GPS. Pay phones. Timing.
  • An international airport without a two hour wait to get to the plane.
  • People smoked.
  • Cops could flash their badge and get someone to do something.
  • Did I mention fast cars? Things blowing up?
  • The music! Or lack thereof. Notice the silence. It’s great.
  • Steve McQueen.
  • Angry Police Chief long before Beverly Hills Cop or Lethal Weapon or 48 Hours or ___.This was on the other night, and I stayed up to watch it, and when I went to bed with these thoughts in my head I babbled to my wife about just watching “Bullitt” (again) and she said “oh, right.” That’s why I ask if it’s a guy thing.

J Lo

I promise I won’t make it a habit of talking about J Lo in particular or celebrity weddings in general:

Bookies Offer 3-1 Odds on Quick End to J-Lo Marriage

LONDON (Reuters) – British bookmakers offered odds of 3-1 Monday that singer/actress Jennifer Lopez and her new husband Marc Anthony would divorce by the end of the year.

Lopez, 33, has already been through two marriages that lasted little more than a year. She broke off an A-list celebrity engagement to actor Ben Affleck in January after the couple called off their wedding last September.
