Is it just me, or is that just a bit over the edge?

I guess for those who don't know, the Polk County Board of Supervisors just declared September Shawn Johnson Month...

I'd totally be like, "Mom, I'm not doing my chores this month, I don't know if you've heard but it's Shawn Johnson month..see you in October."

And I, Bruno, will dive 1,000 feet into a block of cement. On my head, yet!

I can totally understand a day...but a month? That's borderline plain creepy.

Does this mean we get to hear even MORE about her!?!?!?? I haven't heard enough yet!

Save us tonight, the last hope for all of us,
Light-years gone by, we're still holding on,
Save us tonight, a star shines in all of us,
Far beyond our lives, still our glory lives on.

I'm not necessarily against it. It's a HUGE accomplishment. Declaring it Shawn Johnson month doesn't change your life at all, just another honor for her IMO.

I do think Keith Murphy is kind of creepy...

And this 7 year old who just forgot this question is hilarious...

Quite over the top. It is kind of like a baseball player hitting his first home run. You don't go mad in a celebration, you trot around the field like you have done it before.
Iowa needs to act like they have done it before.

Not being from Iowa, over the last 10 years of living here I've come to realize that if the media outlets in Iowa can find a link between any one significant person or event with the state of Iowa... they will.
To some extent is seems pretty sad; especially when it's "so-n-so's brother's big sister who holds the world record for eating the largest footlong sandwich once had an uncle with a dog that bit a guy that used to live in Adair County, Iowa..." kind of things.
But at the same times makes me happy to see something of true significance (i.e. Shawn Johnson) get a good amount of attention here. She is a gold medalist... best in the world (and did it without lying about her age I might add) so I say give her all the attention that goes with it.

Iowa needs to act like they have done it before. but Iowa hasn't...no matter what you think, it IS a big deal in Iowa. Also, you can't compare hitting a home run to winning an olympic gold medal, no comparison. As I said before, I'm pretty sure this isn't going to affect your life, just a way of acknowledging her accomplishments.

From the last 6 months of coverage I would say it "the year of Shawn Johnson".

She deserves whatever accolades she gets.
