News, but not the serious kind

Taking all the sport out of it!

Blog Guy, haven’t you overlooked a fashion story this season? You always review the new creations for police decoys, designed to entice the criminal element for easy arrests. Well?

That’s a very sore subject with me this year. Sure, I went to the big insider decoy show, Snare Wear 2009, but this year they’ve gone too far!

The new creations lack subtlety. If you stick a ballerina dress on some hairy guy and put flowers in his hair and send him out in the snow, that’s not decoy work, that’s entrapment!

So you’re saying this dude is overly-tempting?

He may as well carry one of those huge Ed McMahon checks for $5,000,000, made out to “Anybody who can take this away from me.” If I were allowed to use Photoshop, I’d put one in his outstretched arm right now!

Apparently the Bolshoi has really dropped their standards.
