And now something completely different ...

Pics of Me in Front of Stuff has never gotten around to figuring out what exactly it is. Definitely not a mommy-blogger, Pics of Me in Front of Stuff has narrowed itself down to either a travel blog or one of those completely random comedic blogs rolling around the internet.  While not a sports blog, Pics of Me in Front of Stuff has been known to delve into sporting events especially those featuring the Philadelphia Phillies. Pics of Me in Front of Stuff went to Opening Day with 30,000 other Phillies fans to Washington, D.C.  Fensty was watching and nobody died. This Guy and T-Rev were there as well.
The Opening Day post will be upcoming.
But first, a little Mets-bashing!  If you have been a baseball-free environment for the past 5 years, the Fightin Phils have been pretty good including 3 straight division titles and two straight NL Pennants and the mantle of World Phucking Champions in 2008. All of this recent glory has come primarily at the expense of the New York Metropolitans and their star third baseman David Wright. Without the Mets epic collapse in 2007 this recent golden age of Phillies may never have come to fruition.  The Mets were leading the NL East in September in 2008 when the Phillies overtook them on their way to World Series victory.  Last year Pics of Me in Front of Stuff watched as the Mets suffered through an atrocious season filled with injury and misfortune.  Pics of Me in Front of Stuff almost felt pity for them.  
And then David Wright went and tried to borrow music from Rocky, THE iconic movie of Philadelphia for his latest Vitamin Water advertisement.

This video combines two of my favorite things:
1. The Jersey Shore's The Situation.  That guy is comedic gold.
2. Making fun of the homoerotic activities of the New York Mets especially David Wright.  In case you missed it, this is not Mr. Wright's first foray into advertising that led to questions regarding his sexuality.
  Should Citi Field just change it's name to The Birdcage?
You may be wandering how any of David Wright's homoerotic activity relates to the video above.  Pics of Me in Front of Stuff is about to school you.  If you happen to be a fan of the Rocky series you know a few things.  The first is that Rocky V NEVER existed.  The second is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change...and end the Cold War.  The third and maybe saddest thing is that the hug between Rocky and Apollo at the conclusion of the training montage from Rocky III is one of the least heterosexual moments in any sports movie ever.  Here are the real life versions.
It is not surprising that the Mets go ahead and borrow the least manly thing possible from another proud Philadelphia franchise.  There's a reason the Mets play in Queens!  The Situation is the obvious heterosexual.  The 'Harder, David, Harder' moment may have been questionable but he slides headfirst into a pool full of bikini-clad women and Vitamin Water.  Pics of Me in Front of Stuff imagines Jose Reyes saying the same thing.
You never see what kind of pool David Wright slides into but Pics of Me in Front of Stuff feels it's a safe assumption that the pool is full of semen.  Where else do you think that David got those extra nutrients?
