On the lighter side- Sports

So this World Series has started to become too exciting. Both of the teams Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies are strong competitors. For all of you baseball fans it has been an exciting series with ups and downs coming through at the last minutes.

One curious thing that I saw (I am just learning the game rules) in the stadium was that it was jam packed. I guess no matter what the economic situation or mess we are in with all the grim news regarding the foreclosures, bankruptcies and joblessness, people find enough money to go to these ball games. Or you can say to escape the grim news this may be their way of saying I had to enjoy this game no matter what.

Look at what is happening to the Movie industry, since or because of the recession the price of tickets have gone up and so is the revenues of the movies (but not the attendance).

People want to escape the reality. It is too stark and whatever their economic circumstances, they will continue to enjoy the cheapest form of entertainment they can find with their families, whether it is movies, sports, a small meal out at night or taking short vacations near their homes.
