Man Lands On Freaking Moon

Guys, get this! Sometime "a generation or so ago" something simply horrendous happened in Philadelphia, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Dave Molinari:

He might have a valid point, but in a city that celebrates the hostility of its sports fans -- remember, these are the folks who, a generation or so ago, generated national headlines by booing Santa Claus -- chucking popcorn hardly seems to constitute an act of wanton violence.

OMGZ! Who knew?! It's amazing that his column also references The O'Jays, whose only #1 hit was five years after Eagles fans threw snowballs at Santa. "Love Train," I will note, was on Philadelphia International records.
