The Bobby & Simon show: a cure for a stretching fetish

The Story

First run this very short clip from Denver's Channel 2 News without any sound. ... What you'll see is Dr Sir Robert McGee, PhD & Bar, mental health advisor to the elite, explaining how he intends to treat a runner with a sad fetish for wearing extraordinarily brightly colored running shoes and attempting to pull them off his feet with a strap. Note the obsessive, continual stretching motions. Well, that's what it felt like. We were trapped at the studio for nearly THREE HOURS while the TV people got increasingly hysterical, in a very serious way, about a SWAT team festival at Boulder High School triggered by a sighting of two men allegedly wearing camo. Bobby's very important message -- that pre-race stretching is guaranteed to switch off your muscles -- did eventually get an airing. All two minutes of it. (And those are Newtons I'm wearing :) )
