Meghan Markle is upset about the recent episode of South Park that poked fun at her and Prince Harry.
Those of you who have been following me on the Shemon and Sheppard Show for nearly 6 years now, also know what a huge South Park fan I am.
One should probably feel extremely joyful that they are mentioned or made fun of in any way, shape or form on the show. It's not different than any late night host telling jokes about different celebrities. Ok. Ok. South Park can take it to another level sometimes, but that's what makes the show hysterical. Lets explore why Meghan is so pissed.
Why is Meghan Markle upset with South Park?
The issue of privacy for public figures, particularly members of the British royal family like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, has been a subject of debate and discussion in the media. It's possible that South Park's take on this topic, as well as its treatment of Markle and Harry, could be seen as controversial or offensive by some viewers.
However, it's also worth noting that South Park's approach to humor is often intentionally provocative and designed to push boundaries and challenge norms. Ultimately, the show's content is up to the viewer to interpret and evaluate.
You can view a couple of clips from the recent episode and judge for yourself. I personally think it's hysterical. These "people" need to seriously lighten up.
Meghan and Harry Are Now Fighting
According to The Spectator World, the South Park episode has caused friction between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Reports say they have been arguing since the release of Harry's book. The friction between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stemmed from the negative reaction to Harry's memoir, "Spare."
The public response to the book has been mixed. Some reviewers praised the duke for his candor while others criticized the book for being too self-indulgent or lacking in substance.
However, it is possible that Meghan may have felt embarrassed or disappointed by the reception to the book, particularly if it was an important project for her husband.
Oh, The Humanity!
California sources claim that Meghan has spent the last few days “upset and overwhelmed” about how she was portrayed.
Meghan Markle is annoyed by the South Park episode and refuses to watch it. She is also reportedly obsessed with her half-sister's litigation. Meghan’s half-sister Samantha Markle is suing her for defamation following their tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
I can't wait for South Park to air part 2 of this saga!
The Average NFL Waterboy Gets Paid More Than You, And If Their Team Wins The Super Bowl – They Get A Ring
I'm not sure which rabbit hole I was going down when I learned this information. But when a team wins the Super Bowl, the members of the staff usually all get a ring, too. Then I started looking into salaries. That's when I ran across what an NFL Waterboy makes.
First of all, let's discuss duties. The waterboy's primary job is to keep players hydrated. Along with water, they provide towels and whatever else coaches and players may need. They also need to stay out of the way. And despite the name, NFL Waterboys are not limited to men. There's plenty of women doing the job as well. The main qualifications seem to be a high school diploma, some football knowledge, and ambition. And to be in shape. The waterboy is constantly moving during practices and games to ensure everyone gets that high quality H2O.
Waterboys aren't also totally anonymous, either. According to fanbuzz, "Even a United States president--Herbert Hoover--once served as a waterboy. In fact, he was the first of these hydration experts in Stanford University history. The most famous of all time is without a doubt Adam Sandler's character, Bobby Boucher, from "The Waterboy."
There's some extra perks, too. Players sometimes give them game-worn items as gifts. Ok, enough stalling. How much does an NFL Waterboy get paid?
NFL Waterboy Salary: $53,000.
But this does vary by team. And some waterboys are unpaid interns that at best receive a stipend. But the Career Explorer Guide lists the average salary as 53K a year. It may be even more now. Back in 2019, Chad Ochocinco verified that number in a tweet.
And there's perks, too.
As an employee of an NFL you're entitled to benefits plus two free tickets per year for each employee. Players also gift out souvenirs like game worn items. Plus some clout when your Tik Tok is loaded with vids from your job. Probably should keep that to a minimum, though. Focus on the job, not your phone.
Rather work indoors?
Data shows NBA towel and ball boys they earn an average of $55,000 – $60,000 annually. When LeBron breaks the all time scoring record and they stop the game, someone will hand him a towel. That's someone's job!
