Las Vegas television is obsessed with Siegfried and Roy. More than 2 years after their show closed because the tiger named Montecore gored Roy, we're treated to weekly updates on the former magicians. Sometimes it seems like they do a Breaking News alert every time Roy leaves the mansion.
It's driving me crazy. I don't care! Leave me alone! No-one but Siegfried cares about Roy and we're not to sure about his commitment, publicity machine not withstanding. (Weren't these two rumored to be "divorcing" several years before the attack?)
It's so bad I'm surprised they don't have daily updates on Roy's bowel movements, complete with grainy, closed-circuit footage of Roy's paralytic face half scrunched under the strain while Siegfried stands in the corner shouting, "You're doing it, Roy! You're really doing it!"
"Breaking News! Setback for Roy Horn -- diarrhea!"
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Immediately after the attack, one of the theories floated by the Siegfried and Roy camp was that a "big haired lady" in the front row had spooked the tiger, causing him to lash out. I swear, if I see one more update on Roy's condition I'm going to loiter around the "Secret Garden" till Roy comes to visit Montecore, glance both ways, then chuck a Marge Simpson doll over the fence.
We're counting on you Montecore, boy. Don't let us down again.
