Pay for Play Punishment


Karma can indeed be swift and severe. Soccer Star Ronaldo's embarrassing predicament may be the subject of endless ridicule and a possible break-up with his girlfriend. The 3-time FIFA World footballer is being victimized by three male cross dressing prostitutes when one of them, Andrea Albertine, took his vehicle documents and demanded US$30,000 - all because the AC Milan striker threatened to hit him inside the hotel room upon discovering he was a transvestite. Ronaldo's "brokeback" moment may be the butt (pun intended) of jokes for his failure to determine the genders of his "acquired assets".

He dropped off his girlfriend beforehand and proceeded to pick up three prostitutes to"amuse himself", according to his own statement. There was indecent haste in dropping off his girlfriend, or in picking up the "women" or both; perhaps because of his immediate need to satisfy his amusement. The tendency of certain celebrities to demand immediate gratification leads to errors in judgment. The case of Hugh Grant comes to mind. But for one who has traveled the world and met so many people, how
he could mis-identify the transvestites shows poor judgment indeed.

Aside from the potential flood of jokes and cartoons from this transvestite caper, the fact that he patronizes prostitutes which could tarnish his image and lose endorsements, and the embarrassment he has inflicted on his girlfriend; Karmic retribution for his betrayal may not be over yet. Disease may lurk around the corner. Unfaithfulness does not pay, it is actually very costly.

Haaarrrrwwwwk...Twooooooph...Ting!
