What the heck are they thinking?
Page 2 staff

You know the drill by now.

There's a lot of strange stuff happening in the world of sports -- and in the real world, for that matter -- so Page 2 is here once again to try to make sense of all the weirdness with another edition of "What the Heck Are They Thinking?"

Jay Leno
Don't expect to see Jay Leno take "The Tonight Show" on location to South Korea.
We've tried to figure out what some prominent folks might be thinking -- if anything -- and the best we could do was come up with multiple possibilities, all equally plausible. So, as always, we are asking for your help. Check out the options for each questionable act or quote, and vote in the poll to move on to yet another sports story.

What was "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno thinking when he angered South Koreans by saying short-track speedskater Kim Dong-sung "was so mad he went home and kicked the dog, and then ate him," after the South Korean was disqualified and denied the gold medal in the 1,500-meter final?

A. He forgot whether it was North or South Korea that Bush said was part of the Evil Axis.

B. He's trying to attract a pet food advertiser.

C. He knew ABC's attempt to lure David Letterman would get a lot of front-page pub, and he didn't want to get left out.

D. He's trying to get a job as a spokesman for PETA.

E. Johnny Carson once told him that people love jokes about dogs.

F. He once tried kim chi, which tasted so bad that he figured even dog would taste better.
