The Real World


An interesting moral dilemma has crept up in the world. Former Tennessee Titan quarterback Steve McNair was shot dead in a murder-suicide by the the woman he was having an extramarital affair with. The Titans plan on honoring McNair by retiring his number. McNair was married with children. I wonder how many Titan fans truly feel that retiring McNair's number is a good thing considering the way his life ended.

Can you imagine how McNair's family feels?...especially his wife and kids?


Billy Mays died a couple days after Michael Jackson passed away. Originally, it was reported that Mays died of heart disease. Shortly after he passed, it was announced that commercials with Billy Mays and his booming voice and hand gestures would continue to run. Now that it has been revealed that his use of coccaine contributed to his heart disease, I wonder if his spots will continue to dominate commercial time.

Unfortunately, in these days, people appear to be so hard up for heroes that they overlook the whole package because there's one thing that appeals to them.

And I'm sure that the Oxy-Clean folks aren't looking forward to the "white as snow" jokes that will be associated with their product.
