some people just can't handle their fanship

Now this may not be my particular area of specialty/interest, but I felt it necessary to comment on the events that occurred at the Palace of Auburn Hills last night. To be a rabid sports fan is in some ways like being a rabid music fan. I find a certain parallel in the douchebag music fans at shows who are drunkenly rude to the performers and to fellow show-goers and the out of control sports fans who embarass those around them with player and ref heckling. Now, in a case like last night's where Indiana Pacer's players were ATTACKED by Detroit fans (with beer, popcorn and fists) after a relatively normal court scuffle, it makes me feel like these are all the same people commiting these heinous acts of embarassment. I am sickened to be a Piston fan, and even more sickened at those who incited the riotous behavior that got Ben Wallace, Jermaine O'Neal, Stephen Jackson and Ron Artest suspended indefinitly. This should NOT be blamed on any Indiana Pacer, but rather at those moronic and out of control sports fans who felt it necessary to tamper with a sacred boundary between players and fans that also exists at musical concerts. There is a fine line, and throwing a full beer cup on a player is simply unacceptable. You disgust me, and to the fat man that was laid out by Artest, you deserved even worse.

Fox is in talks to do a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire. If this were time-savvy, it would take place in heaven, for old Mrs. D would have croaked already. Good luck, Robin.

The Arcade Fire show on Thursday night was phenomenal, though derailed by events that make me sad to be involved with such a despicable city as Detroit. Ted Leo, who played last night at the Stick, seemed unusually stumbling and awkward. The show was preceded by hideously terrible acid-irish-folk-jig band the Tossers, who Jaki and Lacey both agreed needed to be gone after 1/2 of one Irish jig-ditty.

Play a fun game where you get to beat up Timberlake and Diaz as a low down dirty Paparazzi. [via defamer]

In response to deeg's post In response to a deeg entry, the infamously hott Facebook is something beautifully sculpted but culturally inept greek-students get their "i was too late for friendster or myspace" fix. granted, it is addicting to go through and look at their pretty faces and bland interests, it is still something truly, truly outdated. [this is a beckoning for lots of "friend" requests for me, hint hint hint]

also, a very happy 50th birthday (NOVEMBER 19th) to Dr. Bruce K, me papa!
