Is it the truly disturbing, and often unnatural things that occur, and are, through the miracles of modern technology, captured on film? The grotesque, which, when carefully dissected provides a glimpse of something which without the benefit of advances like the slow motion replay, we would never be able to truly appreciate in all its awful beauty...Yes, I am talking about Charles Barkley's golf swing...


Why is someone getting knocked out or mistakenly punching their own football coach funny? Why do I find myself laughing when a grown-up child who likes to break stuff with his body ends up busting his nose while fighting an inanimate object? Why is it funny to watch an announcer who has to look up before he can talk into a microphone? Like a Mackey Sasser of the sports announcers set...I don't know why it's funny? Maybe it's because it's not happening to me...
