Bad On Top Of Bad


A couple of times in your life, you run across something that is unquestionably a bad idea.  Hitting a golf ball out of somebody's mouth is one of them.  It doesn't matter if the golfer in question is John Daly, a well known and trained golfer with decades of experience hitting golf balls for money.  The reason that this is a bad idea is this:


The story of the model suing Playboy after a golf stunt went wrong is one that made the rounds on the internet last month.  Given the date that the John Daly stunt occurred, the people involved in the stunt should have been aware of the botched Playboy stunt, and been more adverse to doing going forward with the stunt since major structural damage to the face due to impact with a golf driver is more likely than major structural damage to the buttocks due to impact with a golf driver.  Even the people involved in the Playboy stunt should have known better due to a previous radio stunt.


After the Hold Your Wee For A Wii contest, which resulted in the death of one of the participants, radio stations across the nation reformed the way that they handle contests, and became less likely to hold contest that involve actual physical activity.  In fact, long ago many radio stations stopped doing physical stunts altogether due to the liability that can come from such stunts, and the likelihood that the radio station, as well as it's corporate ownership, will get sued.  The Hold Your Wee For A Wii contest is why the Playboy stunt was a bad idea, and the Playboy stunt is why the John Daly stunt was a bad idea.  It's bad on top of bad.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch the video of the Playboy stunt over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
