Mad at Lebron? Hire a Witch Doctor

Seems that some folks in Cleveland are still miffed about Lebron James' exodus to Miami. Namely, one radio host, who thought the best recourse for Lebron's abandonment of the midwest was to hire a witch doctor and place a curse on the NBA All-Star.

Cleveland Radio Host Hires Witch Doc to Curse Lebron James

I'm having difficulty classifying this retaliatory measure. Is it the equivalent of a 4-year-old yelling at his bullying friend, "Well, I'm rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!" Or is it more akin to the tantrum a 2-year-old throws when his mom takes away his toys because it's bedtime? Yeah, I think the 2-year-old analogy nails it.

However classified, it's got to be one of the most exaggerated forms of passive aggression I've seen in a while. I wonder if the radio host was also sticking his tongue out at a picture of Lebron while the witch doctor performed his ritual? Might as well, for extra emphasis.

Ironically, I actually can't stand Lebron James. I think he's going the way of Michael Jordan, believing every self-inflating word the press and others can heap on him. Maybe instead of a witch doctor, the radio host could put Dr. Phil on retainer for when Lebron's career is over and he is still desperate for the spotlight. (but that would be a nice gesture, wouldn't it...)

I wonder if the radio host actually feels any better. Probably not. Tantrums never produce the initially expected result...

UGH!

After a 3 Year Break...

So, after 3 years of doing something other than writing regular UGH Report posts, I guess it's time I fire a few off until something else comes up in life to draw me away again.

I might write one post, 10, 100, or just this note saying that I will write something. Regardless, I'm back. (Maybe...)

Now, let me go find some UGH-worthy stories to pick apart.
