Occasional Nike entertainment

Sometimes, the sun shines even on a dog's ass; as the man says. Today, the sun has shown on Nike's ass. Well, or something like that. What's cooler than shooting a golf ball at random objects? Video-taping it at high speed for slow mo.

The Norwalk Dilemma

Perhaps you've heard of Yelp? Perhaps you've reviewed a restaurant? Then, you may understand my dilemma. Step this way...

There is a restaurant you've rated highly before, and you've enjoyed thoroughly previously. Then, you go one Saturday evening, and have a good time. Mysteriously, during the middle of the night, one of the participants gets sick. A little internet digging and some basic logic analysis leads to the conclusion of Norwalk virus via oysters.

Now, you can always blame the victim (what the hell were you doing eating spicy oyster appetizers), or bring on fire and brimstone (there must be some reason that shellfish are specifically forbidden in the Old Testament). However, my focus is on the restaurant review.

What is the etiquette for this? Am I honor bound to write a new bad review? I mean, how seriously do you blame the restaurant? I suppose the only answer is completely... Sigh.
