The Wall Street Journal, Obama, and Now the Onion Use Nats for Punchline
The Onion has another brilliant feature on the newest time-out entertainment gimmick catching fire in the sports world: the Fuck-Cam.*
Of course, these geniuses located the gimmick at a stadium where the fans need the most diversions: Nationals Park.
A portion:
"We've been really surprised and delighted by the crowd reaction," said Washington Nationals public relations director Janine Perry, who started the Fuck-Cam program that has since been emulated by every other ballpark in the major leagues, except Miller Park in Milwaukee. "Apparently, people who like watching baseball games also really enjoy watching other people have sex.
The Kiss-Cam is a little passe, come to think of it...
*I'd put "NSFW" in here, but after last week's cover, anybody who comes here better know what they can get.

When you are by far the worst team in baseball, you get to be the punchline in jokes (although I honestly think Obama's remark was less a joke than pretty much a simple acknowledgement of truth - although I probably could have lumped in a couple other franchise like the Pirates too in terms of teams whose fans obviously know they have no shot).
If the Nats don't like it, they can stop dicking around and try and become a better team (and no, firing Manny Acta doesn't solve jack).
