TheWeekholeView – Wrestling Not Sufficiently Telegenic to Remain a Sport

Here, each hole starts on Wednesdays and this is what fell through this past week:

Last Wednesday, February 13, a Fecebook page was open for wrestling fans and people like us who, although never practice or watch wrestling, do oppose the “shocking move [of] the International Olympic Committee [, which] voted to drop wrestling from its schedule for the 2020 Games.”

On Thursday, February 14, President Obama moved America closer to a virtual democracy when he or someone on his behalf initiated a Google+ Hangout, where he answered soft questions about baseball and beer tasting but avoided our question about why google+ and no longer reddit?

On Friday, February 15, more media outlets tried to explain the meaning of Prisoner X, including the NY Times, but none did it as well as The Daily Beast. Bravo TDB!

On Saturday, February 16, more pictures of bare-breasted Duchess of Cambridge surfaced, or so we heard. A google search did not produce any images, despite the fact that we did not choose to filter the results. It seems Google uses its filters whether you want it or not…Thanks, Big Brother Google.

On Sunday, February 17, we read more British news, this time about some British MP’s speeding ticket saga which ended up in his leaving his 60-year old scary hag for a 58-year old equally scary hag… and the Brits didn’t think that was enough punishment.

On Monday, February 18, Yoko Ono turned 80, and Beatles’ fans had still not forgiven her.

On Tuesday, February 19, Oscar Pistorius, aka Blade Runner, defended his actions by asserting that

I only know how to use prosthetics expertly as the badly aimed multiple shooting of Reeva with a hand-held gun show.

That’s good for us here at TPV.

  1. I see, the first published joke about Pistorius, I thought it was too mean but here is to continue your train of thought:

    If he could somehow rotate those things for skiing, he’d be a shoe in for Olympic Biathlon (still a sport)

    I feel somehow sad for all the sponsors he’s lost and events he’s had to cancel, oh boy, that’ll teach him, or the next person who flies into (I assume) a homicidal rage.

    But what I, and men everywhere want to know is, exactly how long was she in that bathroom before he had to resort to using real guns?

  2. Dear Sam:
    That is a very good question and we will ask our South African commentator to look into it, but my feminine mystique tells me that it all depends on her schedule: whether she was going to school, to model or to shop…
    Thanks for writing.
