NY Times & Rich White Folk Are Out of Touch & Completely Insane

Nigeria

This is not an episode of South Park, this is real. From today's NY Times. This is SERIOUSLY how the article opens, verbatim: 

For an avid runner, perhaps a synthetic running shirt would be a welcome gift. Maybe a heart-rate monitor, or an iPod. But for a truly one-of-a-kind gift, nothing could beat what Michael Chambers received for his 40th birthday on Thursday: a world-class runner from Kenya for a day.

Chambers received the gift from his parents and his wife, Tina, who gave him a parting kiss before he departed with Kiplagat.

All I can say is that this the best opening paragraph I've read in the NY Times in a very long time, here it is again for your enjoyment

... perhaps a synthetic running shirt, a heart-rate monitor, or an iPod. But for a truly one-of-a-kind gift, nothing could beat what Michael Chambers received for his 40th birthday on Thursday: a Kenyan!
