Pretty much what you said.
I am having an arguement over on alt.tv.american-idol with some numbnuts
that's screaming that Tiger Woods is having his personal live invaded.
He says that being arrested etc. is just the arresstee's personal
business; I'm pointing out that that's ludicrous. Once the cops are
involved, it's public record. Doesn't mean I want to hear about it, but
it ain't just in the family anymore at that point.

Stargate Universe SGU: It puts the "U" in "SUCKS"!
It's the show 'Defiling Gravity' would be if DG had more regulars,
fewer abortions, worse writers, and no budget for lighting.
Remember, you can't spell "disgust" without SGU!
