i don't watch much television

but i was sitting in a bar the other night, trying to get drunk, and saw a program called "american gladiators" or something like that.

i just kept thinking "next on the violence channel, it's "ow! my balls!"

they even had a gladiator that looked like beef supreme.

1. Its an old show that has been ressurected

It used to be on after midnight on one of the off-brand channels. The networks have sunk low enough that is now ready for prime time.

2. it's really awful

the "cast" of gladiators mug in the intro segments in a comical way to demonstrate how intense and tough they are.

it's like a live action cartoon.
