Maybe it's just me but I've been noticing that the athletes in the Winter Olympics are truly in love with themselves. I am not a fan of sports in general, but every time I go online there are articles of athletes rewarding themselves whether or not they win or loose.
How narcissistic and desperate for attention can these people be that they make weird announcements or gift themselves extravagant things? Case in point this figure skater, dude seriously, isn't a medal enough.
What if scientists rewarded themselves every time an experiment worked? the NIH would be filing for bankruptcy. I just identified a new novel interaction between two genes never before reported, do I go to the Coach store and buy a bag (that I have been eying like forever) with grant money, no, buy a car, go on a fancy trip stay in a 5-star hotel and write it off as a conference, NO!
These people need to stop this foolishness.
