I was watching the Denver Broncos/San Diego Chargers football game yesterday.
Near the end of regulation, the Chargers kicker, who presumably knew he was shortly going to have to kick a field goal - and one way out of his range - had to go to the bathroom.
I guess he didn't want to spend time running into the locker room, so he had a towel man hold up a towel while he relieved himself into a bottle (or something - never actually saw what it was.)
Unfortunately for the kicker, the two announcers were talking about him, and so a cameraman focused on his at that exact point in time, and for five minutes or so did not bother to pan away. So everyone in the country watching that game saw this guy - or at least his back - and knew what he was doing.
Why? Did the cameraman not have the sense to tell the announcers (with whom he is in constant contact) "Hey, something personal and private is going on here. Hold off a few minutes to talk about this guy? Or just pan away from him regardless?
But it gets worse. Of course, Yahoo "News" had to get into the act. So a couple of hours after the game, if you go to the Yahoo home page, you see the story highlighted there as if its newsworthy. "Embarrassing moment for Chargers kicker." And if you click on it you get to see the video of his back
And this article was right next to one that said, "Actresses caught in ugly dresses." (Well, I paraphrase that headline. It was something like that.) And I'm like...jesus christ - keep your fashion statements to yourself.
Also in the last few days, Ive been seeing commercials for the Victoria Secret Fashion show.
Victoria Secret - the lingerie people - need a fashion show? An excuse for skinny women to strut on stage wearing teeny tiny bras and panties? While guys - and gals, I suppose - ogle them?
Does this really need to be on TV?
