After a bloated Super Bowl in Dallas, it's time to rein in big game →

wilwheaton:

For absurdity, how about those four Navy F-18s flying over the stadium - with its retractable roof closed? Everybody inside could only see the planes on the stadium’s video screens. It was strictly a two-second beauty shot. Know what it cost taxpayers? I’ll tell you: $450,000. (The Navy justifies the expense by saying it’s good for recruiting.)

Emphasis mine. It is disgusting and morally repugnant that the government will spend $450,000 on a stupid flyover that the people in the stadium can’t even see, while schools and libraries are having their budgets slashed all across America.

Yeeeah, this is so not shocking. Highly sick and disturbing, very much so, but color me not surprised. *sigh* That’s what the US has come to these days. =/
