Soccer Dad

He was drinking milk and when he laughed ...

Donna Hamilton of WBAL TV decided to do a report on an alternative treatment for allergies called neti potting. Given that I'm married to an allergy sufferer and several of my children suffer too, I sympathize. Really.

But does she really need to show this poor guy squirting saline up one nostril and out the other? Wouldn't words have sufficed?

She comments that he usually does this in private and did he ever think he'd be doing it on television. And of course he answers "no." But then in our society people get paid $1,000,000 for eating bugs on television.

I feel like Calvin when he describes Tommy telling a joke when I watch this. I feel a bit grossed out but not quite guilty.
