Sportscenter Complaint

Alright, so I'm an avid football fan and I watch espn, especially sportscenter with my morning coffee. I like it, but lately during the basketball hightlights the announcers have been using the word "facial" to describe someone gettting dunked on. I'm alright with the word facial and all that it implies, but I'm not alright with it being used as such. I remember when I was like ten and cuss words and naughty words came into popularity among my peer, specifically the phrase, "go suck an egg." Now, at the time, I didn't realize that that phrase meant to go suck your momma's tit or some such nonsense, but regardless, using it as a synonymn for "piss off" was a little embarrassing the first time I used it in front of an adult who asked me what it meant. I fear for the children. Bodily fluid deposition should not be synonomous with playground chatter as it will be if the propogation of this "facial" term becomes commonplace. Additionally, I do buy into the objectification of women through porno thing and the facial in terms of pornography is the apex of what I see as the hierarchtical structure between men and women that pornography portrays and proliferates. The metaphore of an agressor soiling a submissive victim is in no way a progressive or healthy movement in the english language or the way in which sexual relations are pursued between men and women. While the term "facial" may intimate an agressor/victim relationship due to its literary history I would have no issue, for example if the term were used in a neutral context such as a jump ball whereas the meaning of the word would change, but to use it in terms of a situation that entails subjegation is both inappropriate and irresponcible.

In other pseudoerotic news, apparently erotic photo hunt has become the new bartime past time, I'll have to check, but I think I've written a "deposition" regarding that bar/coffee place phenom elsewhere (likely lj). Overall a great time killer though...or something.
