The U.S. Open went down this weekend, and in case you didn’t get the memo, golf is suddenly the weirdest f**king thing ever.
Example one: PGA fans taking the random Tiger Woods swing-shouting (“MASHED POTATOES”, “YEAH PLAYA”, etc.) to another level by screaming YABBA DABBA DOO during Graeme McDowell’s* shot on the 15th. Most people know Fred Flintstone could bowl, but don’t forget that he was also a championship golfer. Not sure when Fred became a big Graeme McDowell fan, or how he’s still alive in 2012. 99% sure that’s not the real Fred Flintstone.
Example two: U.S. Open winner Webb Simpson was being interviewed by Bob Costas, and they were interrupted by a guy in a Union Jack mohawk winter hat doing bird calls. No, seriously:
I think my favorite part of that video is the Michael Scott looking dude in the background who is so unbelievably disappointed by what’s happening. Just the saddest face.
*Suggested Flintstones name for Graeme McDowell: Granite RockDowell

Everyone was just confused. They thought they were at the tennis US Open, which is well known for the crazy people.
God you people this is golf! Go back to your shanties!

I think my favorite part is the awful come-back by the Jesus-freak who won the golf.
This is what happens when you hold events in San Francisco. If I wake up to a 300-pound tranny taking a dump on the hood of my car to spite the parking meter, it’s barely out of the ordinary.
Respect to the Union Jack mohawk guy for that sweet peacock impression.
I think we could be witnessing an epiphany. I’d imagine pretty soon we’ll be seeing spectators at golf events setting themselves on fire just to relieve the sheer mind-numbing, soul-destroying tedium of it all.
