Just a random vent before I go to work...
I'm watching Family Feud right now, and the subject was "Things you associate with New Orleans."
Oh boy.
I jumped out the shower just to see just how these people would answer.
The Stella family won that round, hands down. Problem was the reaction to the answers. the first one wrong, then the next 2 correct. The first answer was "The Big Easy."
Then came "Gumbo."
I'm holding my breath so hard I'm bout blue. Well, black blue. Whatever
Then came "The big easy." Of course it was correct.
Then came Mike Stella. He bites his nails, gets a few nods from the fam, and screams out "Hurricane Katrina!"
"....Correct! The Stella family takes the board and when we return..."
Okay I know it's just a game, I know I know. And Hurricane Katrina is now a part of history so it will come up on game show topics. But the actual tragedy has not ended down in NO and people STILL are homeless without assistand. So it's hard watching people cheer cuz all of America agrees that when you think of New Orleans you think of gumbo, Big Easy, and HURRICANE KATRINA.
You remember that game in grammar school, which one doesn't fit? You see an apple, an orange, a banana and a shoe. You already know which one doesn't belong. It sucks that such a tragedy has not been resolved, just left alone so long that now, gumbo is the orange, Big Easy is the apple, and Hurricane Katrina is the banana. Which object doesn't belong? The object of humanity. Justice has STILL not been served to New Orleans. God Bless all those still in need.
Oh, and congrats to the Stella family. I think they made it on to the final round.
