Beckham Schmeckham

Greets to you, oh Rambling Masses,

One particular piece of behavioural oddness that strikes me at the moment is the Rambling Masses' and the Rambling Media's obsession with all things David Beckham. For God's sake - he's only a football player.

Everyone is going on about what an amazing guy he is, how giving he is, how kind he is, blah, blah, blah...

Did I miss something? Why are we all queueing up to kiss his ring? Let's just put it into perspective - he gets paid hundreds of millions of dollars to play games in front of a crowd. He's the one that should be abasing himself in front of us and thanking us all for paying him more than anyone on this planet is worth.

This Cult of Personality thing is really an incredible bore. Get over it. When he finds the cure for cancer, then come and talk to me.
