NICE Real NICE….

Are all your blog titles this misleading?

Does Hybrid Nation have the sole rights to the letter “G”? Did Micheal Jordan send you this?

No, and uh… NO!

I even question your use of the word respect. Gatorade doesn’t “respect” you. All that happened here is that some PR flunkie sent you an over-produced promo package because your name happens to be on some list of media contacts.

You were meant to get this “gift” and then talk about it, so congrats on being an unknowing corporate shill. Or maybe you do know… and you think that all the people that read your blog won’t see through this blatant advertisement.

So go ahead, put these plastic bottles on the shelf. Right next the the awards that are probably worth even less.

Juan,
They even doubted Jesus. What makes you any different that “they” wont doubt you. Gone and let them haters motivate.

It’s too early in the morning for what that reader is dishing out. Today is suppose to be a good day. Peeps need to go back to bed with the foolishness. LOL
.
I did think you were about to do a give-away though. But I wouldn’t let go of the case.. Even if I don’t drink the G I’d put that up on a shelf and marvel at it for a minute.

Ya know… I said my peace and that was it. Until I read the Jesus response.

Haterade, that’s a good one.
Haterade, Gatorade. Wow, it rhymes. That must mean its a valid rebuttal. Because things don’t have to make sense as long as they rhyme. Johnnie Cochran would be proud.

Look, my beef is with the fact that this is an empty and obvious attempt at self-promotion via useless corporate schwag. I personally see through it and consider it an insult to my intelligence. But hey, what do I know. I can’t tell the difference between PR and “customer relationship managers”, let alone Juan and Jesus.
-
Besides, I am waiting for the seventh bottle in the series. The one with “with pix and words” that describe how Jordan’s unpaid golf gambling debts resulted in his father face down in a South Carolina swamp.

All of this stuff is real tight. PEACE!!!

Oh Jordan gets plenty of love, all professional athletes do (except maybe Pete Rose). For most of them it starts at such an early age that their core value system hasn’t had a chance to fully develop. They are allowed to get away with almost anything as long as they keep performing.
-
I personally find it to be a sad commentary on our society when these young men and women are spoiled early and raised to be adulterous criminals who are worshiped like demigods.
-
That sadness builds to contempt and disgust for people, such as yourself, that are so vacuous that, despite your intelligence, are drawn into such empty pursuits.
-
I am not without flaws. And I’ll admit that there is a small amount of envy that motivates these words. But the idea that some international corporation puts sugar water in plastic and wraps it with an image of a non-deserving deity and everyone gets excited… well that just bothers me.
-
You can keep your bottle. Hell, I don’t even have a shelf.
-
ps. I’ll hold out for the Lawrence Phillips special AssaultAde. Or maybe the Barry Bonds RoidAde. Or how about the Magic Johnson AIDSAde! (his wife likes that flavor). Maybe the Kobe SlutAde, or Warren Moon WifeAde, Andre Rison ArsonAde, The Plaxico TriggerAde, The Michael Vick DogAde, Jayson Williams DriverAde, Ray Lewis KnifeAde… and of course the ever-popular OJAde.
