I recently read an article about how Hamas was seizing all the aid supplies pouring into Gaza in the aftermath of the Israeli invasion. I began to read the comments regarding the article and came across the following “joke” and thought it to be quite topical… even though it borders on being somewhat racist.

Last night, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in the closing minutes of Super Bowl XLIII. Almost immediately, the media began to fawn over the perceived greatness of the game.
Sports Illustrated writer Peter King, described the game as “the best Super Bowl ever.” Joe Henderson of the Tampa Tribune felt the game was so good that there is no further need to ever watch another Super Bowl again. Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, not only lauded game in great esteem, but exclaimed that it also featured the “best play” and “best catch” in the history of the Super Bowl. Gary Henderson of the St. Petersburg Times felt that in a hundred years, Super Bowl XLIII “will be the finest of them all.” The praise did not stop with the media. According to ESPN’s Sportsnation, fifty six percent of those polled, thought that last night’s game was better than its predecessor. I am inclined to think that those same fifty six percent are greatly mistaken.
