Sunday Scribblings #71 – Scandalous

A serious and not-so-serious post:

The Serious Part:

Sexual, Political, Religious, Academic, Social, Sporting, Corporate, Journalistic.

All kinds of
Shocking,
Outrageous,
Disgraceful,
Shameful,
Indecent,
Disreputable,
Appalling,
Reprehensible,
and
Wicked
events.

In my lifetime, there have been some pretty scandalous events. The ones below are particularly un-nerving:

Camillagate — Tape of a telephone conversation between Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker-Bowles
Grannygate – Controversy surrounding Stephen Ireland, a Republic of Ireland football player, who claimed his granny had died in order to secure a leave of absence from international duty
Lipstickgate — The brouhaha associated with Barack Obama’s use of the saying “putting lipstick on a pig” during a campaign trail speech
Nipplegate — Justin Timberlake reveals Janet Jackson’s nipple during the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII
