..uh, I'd like to hear from Sideshow Mel

It's been about a week now since some peeping tom broke the internet when he posted video of ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews changing in her hotel room. While the actual act was as illegal and indefensible as you can get, the chaos that's followed has been 1000 times more interesting than any keyboard cat meme the interwebs could conjure.

Two of the more popular sports blogs out there, the Big Lead and Deadspin, were practically falling all over each other to see who could be the most contrite. Kinda silly considering neither site has a reputation for real hard hitting journalism and both have a solid history of treating her like a sexy piece of meat in a pantsuit.

All week long I've read articles in the paper, watched investigative reports on TV and listened to people on the radio talk about how horrible and disgusting this whole ordeal is. Other than their righteous indignation, these reporters and pontificators all have one thing in common, they've all seen the tape! take it away Pappa Bear..


Call me crazy but I think everyone in the media and the blogosphere would be doing everone else a favor if they saved their cartoonish outrage on this one. I don't know if I can handle this much irony.

Um, didn't O'Reilly pay off some woman awhile back to keep quiet about some sort of pervy something or other?

I also like the "this is a total outrage, here, let me show you some blurred out clips of the footage".

By the way, re: zombie preparedness, if you're going to go with a tactical blade get the best, go with an Emerson CQC 7B.
