The Prophecy of Drew Magary

If you buy something from a link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

It’s funny, because it’s true. It’s a popular refrain when trying to describe the allure of particularly good comedy, and last week, reading another of Drew Magary’s fantastic “Why Your Team Sucks”-NFL previews over at Deadspin, you couldn’t help but chuckle:

You’ve got LaSulkysulk making like Jay Cutler on the bench. You’ve got proven roid users in Luis Castillo and the rapetastic Shawne Merriman. Wideout Vincent Jackson got a DUI. I think the Chargers get away with all this strictly because they have such awesome uniforms.

Tila Tequila, for those who don’t watch MTV or frequent her wildly popular MySpace account, first made waves when she was the most popular artist on MySpace in 2006, and later hosted a bi-sexual dating reality show on MTV. More recently, she’s delved into the world of fashion.

If both of the characters in this story are cartoons of contemporary culture--Merriman the hulking, unhinged product of modern-day sports, Tequila a product of the new age in reality programming--that doesn’t make the alleged crime last night any less tragic. It’s much more fun to call someone “rapetastic” when they haven’t alledgedly choked a woman that was trying to leave for the night.

Further details are sure to emerge in this case, but for now, TMZ is reporting that Tila Tequila has left the hospital, so that’s good news.
