You've Just Been Posteriz'd.

You gotta love how sports has managed to find a way to embarrass the already embarrassed. To be ankle-broken is one thing, to be posterized is another.


Captured in a moment's time. Not just any moment - a moment of weakness by one completely dominated by strength and vitality of another. A freeze frame reminder of the oohs and ahhs tweeted. Sportscenter's Top 10, centerfolds of magazines, posters on walls, front pages of websites...all allow those who missed the moment to share in the trending topic and those who were witness to it the first time to relive it.

Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Blake Griffin...just a few who have mastered the art of posterization. Validating their superiority on the court with monster dunks is just the salt to their tequila.

So, here's a Shot for Thought...What if we could bring posterizing to life? I don't mean 3-D posters or 4-D Fatheads. What if we could posterize moments in people's everyday lives? Imagine capturing an "I told you so" moment with your superior at work. Or an "I don't need you" incident with a parent or guardian. Makes you thirsty, doesn't it?

MTV is on the right track with "Punk'd" (recently revived). The difference: no hidden cameras, no practical jokes. You've just been posteriz'd.
