There was a riot in Vancouver after the Vancouver Canucks lost the final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs to the Boston Bruins. While we can deplore the behavior of the disappointed Canuck fans who rioted, it's somehow understandable as due to their disappointment.
However, this young couple seems distracted from the task of rioting. And this raises some questions:
1) Was she hurt, and he is offering some help; or is this a moment of passion? I think it was the latter.
2) What prompted this private moment to become public? Did he propose marriage, was it on a bet, or does losing hockey matches or rioting somehow inspire Canadians to l'amour?
Ovid suggested in his Ars Amatoria that arousing a women through the spectacle of watching gladiator games or other sports could later on be translated into her being more receptive for love-making. Maybe he was right: the excitement of a riot can be translated into sexual arousal.
Anyway, I hope the couple was not abashed the next day because of their occasion being public!
It’s scary and frightening how people can react when a team wins or loses a big game. It’s just sports! I hope every fan who caused all of that property damage is held civilly and criminally liable. The courts must send a message that violence can’t be tolerated.
ReplyDeleteThis little vignette aside, riots are nothing to make sport about.
ReplyDeleteSo if I take my gal to a football game, will she make out later on?
ReplyDeleteNot on the first date.
ReplyDeleteRiots and demonstrations were a turn-on back in the 1960s/
