Quest for Head leaves Vonn fans disappointed
U.S. Ski Team coaches sat on pins and needles Thursday morning awaiting Lindsey Vonn’s training run on her bruised and swollen right shin as men across America focused on Head.
While the news of Vonn’s downhill exercise at the 2010 Winter Games facility could boost U.S. team optimism throughout Whistler, British Columbia, many of those in search of Head walked away from the experience empty-handed.
A single Web user is thought to be to blame.
After informing each and every one of his 442 Facebook friends via status update that he’d stumbled across “Blonde Utopia” while Googling, Bob Wright, a 38-year-old Knob Lick, Mo., resident, suddenly felt the blood rush back to his brain after further investigation.
“I’m extremely disappointed … there’s no other way to express my embarrassment,” said Wright, who, coincidentally, reported that he also was quite bruised and swollen. “I feel as though I was left holding the bag. “There should be some truth in advertising, don’t you think?”
Wright was referring to the Web site www.head.com, which are the fourth and fifth Google links if the words “Vonn” and “Head” are typed into the search engine. Wright’s status update seemingly set off a tidal wave of information sharing between men surfing the Internet in search of Head. Sportspoop sources have learned that the site received an unprecedented spike in Web hits.
Ron Palmer was one of thousands who found themselves lured in by Wright’s lack of knowledge concerning sports equipment.
“We’ve been bombarded the past few days with Vonn’s television interviews and pictures on the Internet,” said Palmer, a 28-year-old Needmore, Texas, resident. “After seeing that smokin’-hot woman so many times in such a short period of time, what man wouldn’t want to find some Head?
“So my friend PMs me and says he has a friend who has a friend who found this, this Utopia … or some shit like that. I mean the address sure seemed promising. But this ended up being even more of a letdown than being president of the Eddie Griffin Fan Club.”
Wright has since deleted his Facebook account and has created a MySpace page using a pseudonym.
