A tale of two wrongs

Dear Congressman,

There sometimes appears to be rips in the space/time continuum when it comes to making logical sense of why some decisions are made. I give you two examples from the depths of the twilight zone for examples.

Hypothetical Case study one: A young American male (who will go nameless) manages to win ... hmm... lets say for arguments sake... eight gold medals at the Olympics in his event and set a new record for gold medals at a single event. He has dedicated his life to his sport and done nothing for the majority of his life other than go to school and train for his event(s). After this glorious achievement, he is given sponsorship deals by several companies to pimp their products and allow them to associate their names with his for a nice amount of renumeration to the athlete in question.

But this athlete, being young, makes an error in judgement and is talked into taking a few bong hits at a frat party at some college he is visiting. Worse, some schumk with a camera phone decides he can help for his own bong hits by photographing the individual in question while "play the sax".

When the photo is released, the young man does the honorable thing; he fesses up and apologizes for his behavior. After this show of fortitude, his main sponsor pulls his contract and runs for the hills quicker than Darva Conga could turn down a Playboy pictorial. (oh wait... she didn't turn that down, did she)

Hypothetical Case study two: A young American signer breaks onto the music scene in 2005 at the age of 16. He becomes very popular with his fans and released several albums over the next three years, all of them reaching the top ten on the charts in the U.S.A.

But this young man also makes an error in judgement. According to the complaint filed in Los Angeles county, this young man decided that his current girlfriend, who again, for the sake of argument, lets say is a very popular female recording artist from Barbados, was not being very respectful to him and he decided to adjust her attitude utilizing proven techniques of a physical nature. A detective in the case filed an affidavit in support of a warrant to arrest the young man stating that "the singer allegedly told victim, "Now I'm really going to kill you!" after first assaulting her with punches to the face, eye, mouth, and body.

However, in this case, a certain very popular children's TV channel has decided that he should not be removed from a ballot to receive an award at that show, even though parents around the planet are in the process of signing a petiton to have him booted.

So, I would have to say the best way to sum up this situation would be as a rapper might:

"Hit a bong and your life will go wrong

hit a bitch and you can still get rich"

Word up, congress homey......
