Also known as "Happy Party with Pizza, Wings, and Chili Day" here in the currently really frigid environs of Metro Detroit.
That alternative name is because no Lions are involved, yet again.
May your team of choice win, or at least score sufficiently so you win your square. May at least some of the commercials be clever or funny, and may you have a fun event with friends, family, or both.
Some people tend to be conveniently and easily distracted and prone to outrage.
The Cecil the Lion incident has not only whipped up some SJW outrage as well as death threats, but conveniently drove all sorts of important news stories that actually affect people and the world right out of the headlines.
Indeed the attention paid to the death of one lion may lead to a whole new Zebra protest movement:
After all, #BlackAndWhiteLivesMatter.
Not to be outdone by the display of national outrage over the death of a lion thousands of miles away, the Detroit Papers are now full of outrage over the killing of some geese.
Yes, the killing of 4 common geese and the injury of 2 more in a roadway incident by an as yet unknown motorist, in an act that may have been intentional or simply accidental, out in Mount Clemens has filled the headlines:
The Detroit Free Press: Did driver purposely run over geese in Clinton Township?
The Detroit News: Geese find new homes after several killed by motorist
Note that now some of the Macomb County Sheriff's best detectives are on the case to find a motorist that ran over geese blocking a road. I'm glad crime in the Clem must be at an all time low. Misbegotten outrage does tend to lead to a mis-allocation of resources.
It's a sad commentary on the state of media today. Considering their focus on trivialities, to the media the world situation may be desperate but it's not serious.
Oh, and another thing: Heh.
