All Apologies

I have been thoroughly taken to task for my mischaracterization of conditions on “Survivor” as “cushy.”

“It’s no beach blanket bingo,” an e-mail from Chicago informs me, and provides a list of tropical horrors endured by the contestants: miserable humidity, open sores that don’t heal, malnutrition, dehydration, vomiting, snakes, jellyfish stings, torn muscles, etc, etc.

I...I...I am so sorry. I thought I exaggerated my humble opinion for humorous effect...since that’s pretty much what I do on this blog. I admit I carelessly tossed that post off without much thought. In fact, reading it again, I see it's not even particularly coherent.

My deepest apologies to anyone who was offended by my failure to acknowledge adequately the trials of reality tv participants. A complete review will be conducted. I take full responsibility.
