Ban the bottom-of-the-TV-screen sports ticker. Everyone has a smartphone, they can get scores anytime they want, they get alerts every minute about the teams and players they care about, so enough already with the endless scroll that clutters up every freakin’ sports broadcast. ESPN used to only show scores of other games twice an hour and that was okay but now it’s a non-stop distraction that simply disrupts the game for people with razor-thin attention spans like me. I also believe that the non-stop score/news ticker is an insidious communist mind game that can hypnotize some and convince others that world-altering news is going to scroll by at any second. The sports ticker is causing mental instability and the general breakdown of society.

Every once in a while it comes up. We try not to talk about it because it makes people uncomfortable, but it’s impossible to avoid all of the daily triggers that could result in words being exchanged about my urban-ness.
In Other Words
Most of the people I encounter should spend less time trying to be gluten-free and make a more concerted effort to be glutton-free.
