Assalamu'alaikum.....

A lot of things has happened over the weekend, not to me personally but just in general. Last night the Detroit Pistons lost to the San Antonio Spurs 95-96 (if I remember correctly, somebody should check the papers for me). Dennis and I didn't watch it 'cause we wanted to catch the Spiderman 2 showing at Top of The Park, but Dennis kept tabs on the score through his cell phone, and we were rooting all the way, even when the game went into overtime. It actually works pretty well for me 'cause I barely watch whenever the game's on anyway, I just like knowing who wins, heheh. As you can tell, I'm not the best fan in the world. But I will kick your butt if you ever diss our Pistons.

On another note, Formula One weekend in Indy didn't go so well. I sympathize to those of you who did go and paid for tickets just to watch 6 cars compete. It sucks to go there all the way and pay for all that money and to be dissapointed that way. For those of you who are going "wha..?" while reading this, 14 cars pulled out of the F1 race in Indianapolis because they were using Michelin tires that couldn't handle one of the turns that the cars were supposed to take. The remaining six cars all used Bridgestone tires... which included Ferraris driven by Michael Schumacher (who apparently scored his first win of the season in Indy) and Rubens Barrichello.

So now the upper echelon of the F1 organizations are debating if tickets should be refunded to fans. To be honest, it probably doesn't matter, 'cause everything's ruined anyway. People dished out a lot of money to buy plane tickets or rent cars just to watch their favorite teams compete. Refunding tickets would just be like trying to put an itty bitty band-aid on a big gashing wound. I'm sure a lot of the fans are debating whether or not they would wanna come again next season after this fiasco.

Which bings me to MY own dissapointment..... the comment made by Formula One head Bernie Ecclestone about Danica Patrick, a female race-car driver who's making waves by (finally) shaking-up the male-dominated world of racing. Reading what Ecclestone said about Danica would make just about any female blood boil. The article below is taken from FOXSports.com:-

Danica Patrick has surged onto the open-wheel racing world, but that might not be sitting well with the old-school boss of Formula One racing.

Formula One is getting its most high-profile United States presence with the U.S. Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend, but Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone doesn't seem to be too crazy about Patrick joining her male competitors on the track, despite her recent Indy 500 success.

"She did a good job, didn't she? Super. Didn't think she'd be able to make it like that," Ecclestone told a gathering of reporters about Patrick's Indy 500 finish.

"You know, I've got one of these wonderful ideas that women should be all dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances," Ecclestone added.

Ecclestone has controlled Formula One for 25 years, amassing a fortune estimated at $3.7 billion. He has a holding company which operates some of F1's commercial ventures, ranging from television rights to sponsorships.

But nine of the F1's 10 teams are in dispute with Eccletone and others over the running of the sport and have threatened to start their own series in 2008. Only Ferrari has signed to stay with Ecclestone after the 2007 season.

Domestic appliances...... DOMESTIC APPLIANCES??? What the fuck?? Liking women to "domestic appliances" is so wrong in so many ways. Not only are you saying that women should stay at home where we "belong", but you're liking us to just things that are used when needed, discarded when not. We are not even human to you!! How do you even sleep at night? How can you even walk on this earth with such an over-inflated ego? And how can people tolerate this male chauvinist pig who should be condemned to life without his penis? Bernie Ecclestone, go eat shit and die, you bastard, I hope one day Danica Patrick would kick your ass till you beg for mercy, and I hope your lil' F1 empire crumbles before your very eyes. Judging from last weekend's fiasco... I might not have to wait too long.
