A Crackhead Alcoholic Watching Porn and the Cosby’s

Jemele Hill recently wrote a column about her being new to fantasy football. Sure. Anyway midway through the column she starts listing out random thoughts on fantasy football.

This was number 2.

2. Top-5 addictions: (1) crack, (2) fantasy football, (3) alcohol, (4) porn, (5) "Cosby Show" reruns.

Help me out here. Is she saying that these are HER top five addictions, or the top 5 addictions, generally (her guess of the top 5 addictions of the general population)? Assuming they are not hers, let’s review:

1. Crack is probably up there, although I don’t know a single person who has done crack and I can only name a couple famous one-time crackheads (Marion Barry, Richard Pryor).
2. Okay, that’s the point of the column.
3. Alcohol – Sure.
4. Porn – Okay
5. Cosby Show Reruns – okay, it’s a joke. Ha. But, see, this is where I get confused. I don’t know anyone who’s watched the Cosby Show in 10 years, so I think Jemele is just talking about herself, not the general public.

This explains a lot of Jemele’s writing. She’s on crack, watching porn and drinking booze whilst she writes.
