Thoughts in a Skitoliv World

We here in a Skitoliv world wish to express our condolences to the family of major league pitcher Cory Lidle. Lidle was killed the other day when his plane crashed into an Upper East Side apartment building. Cory was not a superstar pitcher, he was also a replacement player from the strike in 1994, you always knew what you would get when he was on the mound. Cory was honest man who always said what was on his mind. He will be missed in MLB.

Here is a photo from the crash site, we will dissect what is wrong.

I believe that the actual conversation here is;

Policeman: Stay behind the line sir.

Alec Baldwin: Don’t you know who I am?! I am Alec Baldwin! I am a celebrity and I am needed at this emergency!

Policeman: Oh! Thank god you are here Mr. Baldwin! We, the professional emergency managers were completely lost without your presence. This way to the Chief! He will be so happy to see you! By, the way, how come you did not move to Canada after ‘W’ won the election, like you said you would?

I mean really, Alec, why are you there? Are you; A) A fireman, B) a policeman, C) a trained emergency person. If the answer to those choices is "no" (which it is), then get the hell out of there. All you are doing is causing a scene and making yourself look like a jackass. I hate to be repetitive, but Alec seems to like himself enough that I do not have to.

This also raises another point. Many "celebrities" are complete media whores, always looking for a camera that they can stick their face in, ‘ole Alec seems to be one of these. I understand that when an incident like this occurs, many people want to know what is happening, that is why we have traffic tie ups on the opposite side of an accident. Yet, when something like this occurs, what is it you feel like you can do? I mean I for one would feel much better if I was to show up at the scene of an accident and see that the calming presence of Alec Baldwin was there. "Oh, everything is okay! Alec Baldwin is here! I wonder if that is Stephen Baldwin doing CPR" I also quote South Park, "What’s the worst part about being a Baldwin? Nothing!"

This is advice to all "celebrities", you are not different than anyone else. There is nothing you can do to help here. Let the professionals handle this. Go back to your own little fantasy world where you believe your own publicity, and you believe you are special.
