More Media Lies about Nepal!

How come Nepal always gets the short end of the stick when it comes to the media? Now I know that this statement was only meant in jest, but I feel that ridiculing Nepal has become all too prevalent in our society. This example is from ESPN's Tim Keown:
Take this example: On Sunday, the 49ers were faced with a fourth-and-1 from the Eagles' 40 with 45 seconds left in the first half and Philly leading 24-3. This isn't even a decision. Ninety percent of the population in Nepal would have made the right call: You have to go for the first down, then take a shot at the end zone or work toward a field goal. You have to try to score, or else you're simply trying not to get blown out. But Niners coach Mike Nolan -- one of the most stern-faced, hard-workingest guys in the biz -- decided to punt.


90 percent! More like 99.8 percent, Keown. Nepalis aren't that stupid. Get your facts right, and stop disparaging the great people of Nepal, you pompous American ass.

Boy, all this blogging is making me hungry. I think I'll go have some momos.
