    A case of Stockholm Syndrome where a writer's in thrall to their own insensitivity.

    How will she take it when she finds out that Tevin Campbell never made good on the promise he showed so early on?

    "Boy howdy this week in sports has been amazing. In Baseball, the Yankees really snatched victory and ran away with it like a man snatching a young girl from the loving arms of her family. And in football, the Jets really put on a show, imprisoning the Cowboys in their own endzone and repeatedly raping them with touchdowns. Oh and now my editor is waving frantically at me. I wonder why I dictate my columns live?"

    Mark Whicker, just write "Believe" on your tennis shoes and go out there and do your best not to get fired. It worked for Melanie Oudin...oh wait.

    Never mind sports ... Just think of all those seasons of American Idol she missed while she was being repeatedly raped and forced to bear her rapists' children.

    Oh, and Survivor too!

    So I do not work in media as I know many of you do... but wasn't there someone else that read this before it was published? How on Earth did an editor or any other person that read it beforehand let this go through? One man being a fucking dumbass, sure. But everyone? Stupid assholes.

    @scouts honor: when newspapers started failing, fact-checkers and editors were the 1st to go and columnists were asked to do their own fact-checking and editing... that way, if a controversy did come up, it would increase interest in the paper and maybe increase sales

    @HenryLovesFonzie:

    The second I read this post I giggled because only one of two things could be true: His editor is an empty shell of a human being OR his editor is incredibly savvy because s/he hates the writer sooo much s/he let this go with a chuckle while thinking, "Finally. Everyone will know what a monstrous tool this guy is. My work here is done!"

    I've totally done that before.
