Angry Nasty Analogy
Someone, not all that aware of the sports world, asked me to explain the NHL lockout. The best I could do was come up with a rather inappropriate, but accurate analogy. The NHL is a nice sport, an exciting sport and my favorite sport, but not all that popular in the states compared to most sports.
This lockout and possible loss of a whole season is akin to an ugly man (NHL-Owners and players) with a sizeable genitalia (more than a billion dollars a year revenue) dating a supermodel (the fans) who shoots his penis off to try to teach her a lesson.
It sure is a dramatic move, but your girlfriend has better options and she's gonna take them. You, meanwhile, have no penis left. Sure, you'll come back and try to date, but good luck getting another supermodel.
