Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Kobes
You know one thing I notice every time I go to Southern California? A lot of the kids out there are wearing Kobe Bryant jerseys. And many of them are new, post-alleged-rape jerseys, too.
My kid will never wear a Kobe Bryant jersey.
Sure it's wrong to discuss that incident as if he's guilty. We'll never know. Charges were dropped. But it was definitely a scummy moment for him. And he's a scummy, unlikable dude.
In fact, I think Kobe Bryant may be my least favorite athlete of the last 25 years. As marvelous as his skills are, his personality is every bit as un-marvelous. Aloof, phony, selfish, immature, and arrogant.
(Or at least portrayed that way by the media, which is the same thing, right?)
So who are these parents who think it's OK for their kids to idolize Kobe? They should all be forced to hang out with him for 24 hours straight.
cW gets 12 kwachas for his answer of Zambia. Malawi was the other answer. PB may have gotten Malawi, but he may also have googled it. We trust him; if he says he didn't google, he'll also get 12 kwachas. For three bonus genius points, what now-defunct-or-relocated NYC pizza joint had a kwacha displayed under the glass counter (like it was the first kwacha they ever made), and what corner was this pizzeria on? And for 10 GP's, tell me whodat. Hint: he is far lamer than many things he would probably consider lame.
We have a new review posted for you on the mother site. Check it here.
