The creepiness that is the Masters

Even I’m impressed by the luscious greens and landscaping at Augusta National. But it’s almost too lush–and I don’t even have HD. What is it hiding? What are they prettying up? Well it’s all hiding a heck of a lot of chemicals, I would bet. And then there is the lovely history of discrimination against African Americans and the ongoing discrimination against women. Somewhat old news. The new news: a female reporter was not allowed into the locker room to do interviews. Haven’t we dealt with this issue already–repeatedly? Apparently it was a mistake. Security thought women weren’t allowed in and so they banned Sullivan. Luckily the reporter’s male colleagues shared their transcripts of interviews they did with Rory McIllroy in the locker room. And in other unofficial creepiness…what was up with all the love for Tiger Woods? How quickly we all forget, eh?
