Cheezy Entrepreneur Dale Begg-Smith Wins Olympic Gold
I guess i'm a dreamer. I'm a guy with his head in the clouds. I go about my daily routines believing that some cosmic force greater than us all is keeping balance in the universe. I think that murderers that have escaped justice are eaten by bears and that burglers who have evaded law enforcement can only find work on the set of According to Jim.I suppose i know better, but ignorance is bliss.
Then something like this jumps up in my face and forces me to accept the fact that life isn't fair. That's right, Dale Begg-Smith, a freestyle skier and Internet innovator, won the gold in moguls skiing at the Winter Games in Turin, Italy.
Let me clear something up, the "Internet innovator" is the owner of a web pop-up ad company and worth $40 million. Do you hate him yet? Have I mentioned this tool drives a $300,000 Lamborghini?
The man dubbed "Spam Man' by his Australian bretheren has a vast fortune aquired by annoying every single computer-using drone in the world. Look around the cube farm and find your most annoying co-worker. Is it the guy who never cleans out the microwave after his leftover lasagna splatters everywhere? Is it the lady who sells Pampered Chef? Well multiply their annoyingness by roughly a thousand and you get this guy. Not only should he not have won a gold medal, he should have been clubbed by a baby seal.
Australia has a storied history of giving us undeserving celebrities. But at least Men at Work and Paul Hogan vanished into obscurity after they favored us with A Land Down Under and Crocodile DundeeI, II & III, respectfully.
I suppose the balance of good and evil has joined the counter-clockwise direction of their toilet water in being completely out of wack.
