Afishionados,
It’s been all over the news that Barbaro the horse has died today. My local news channel reported that a fund has been set up in the horse’s honor and has already raised over a million dollars. Apparently, proceeds will go to help other horses or animals with their animal problems.
Fans and past sexual partners of Barbaro also sent emails to the horse (before it died, of course) wishing it “good luck” and better health. Unfortunately (and obviously) in the end, these emails did little good for two reasons:
1.) Horses can’t read email.
2.) The damn thing died anyway.
Is this really newsworthy? Why did I have to hear about Barbaro for 10 minutes?
It’s just a goddam horse.
