Joke

I mentioned last night that I didn't watch any of the NHL all-star fantasy draft ridiculousness.  After this morning's commute I am so glad that I skipped it.  On the radio this morning I heard some audio clips of the event and... well... oh my god was it awful.  Just... Awful.

Every time a player was selected they blared music as said player walked up to the stage, or whatever it was, to join the team he was selected for.  The music was straight out of a 1980's techno porn movie.  It was terrifying.  That was lame enough, but the audience (which in the clips I heard sounded like about 30 people) were mic'd in such a way that you could hear everything they said... and... well... imagine an audience full of Bob and Doug McKenzie's.  You get the idea.  Stereotype is the word that comes to mind.  I did clearly hear one person refer to a pick as "a beauty."  It was straight out of Strange Brew.  Imagine each pick being woohoo'd by 50% of the crowd, and vehemently heckled by the other 50% of the crowd.  Really... just... wow.

I'm so glad I had better things to do.
