Considering that I was pointing out yet another irony myself, you tell me. And really, you think that there's nobody on these boards who might type that and mean it? On these boards?

Morgan Spurlock should do a documentary where he's forced to watch nothing but Russo-produced shows every day for a month straight. Personally, I think it'd kill him.

Says the guy whose new avatar pic is just a message calling someone queer.

Yeah, it does look better than the first one. But as previously mentioned, that's not really hard. Beating the Grim Reaper in level 5 of Castlevania: hard. Making a better movie than the broken condom known as the first AvP: not hard. Even though some of it looked pretty cool, I do have a few notes: 1. WAY too many goddamn kids, teenagers, and twentysomethings. Remember back when both of these franchises revolved around grown adults, and also put out better movies? 2. Why is the setting AGAIN on earth in the present? That works for Predator, I guess, but is a thousand kinds of wrong for Alien. 3. If you're really looking forward to this movie, DON'T watch this trailer. It gives away at least half the kills in the movie. Really, gives away WAY too much, which I guess is okay for an internet trailer, but still, too much.

It would have to be REAL cheap, though. Vince had competed with NWA/WCW for decades, and finally got the opportunity to buy them out for a ridiculously low price, something like 3 million dollars. And WCW had a hell of a lot bigger and better tape library than TNA does.

People killed each other before guns, and would still kill each other if guns magically disappeared. Guns just let 'em do it faster and easier.

First of all, you're just describing America, not "the world". Turn on the news, and odds are right now they're talking about someone who murdered someone else over religion. Secondly, you're getting it wrong even in America. The crime rate is DOWN, way down from twenty or thirty years ago. Hate the sin, not the sinner, amirite? Well, except for people like Fred Phelps who mostly hate everyone who isn't them.

Aw c'mon, watching 50 joke competitors in a row wipe out at the first or second obstacle is always entertaining.

Bound for Glory is the "big"? PPV? Had no idea. TNA has done a godawful job of specifying which of its shows are more important than others. All I know about their shows is that Lockdown is all in a cage and Slammiversary has the KOTM match.

Time off doesn't necessarily prevent those sudden outta-nowhere injuries that put most of the injured guys on the shelf, though. Hell, there are several instances when a guy gets hurt on his first match back from time off. Nash's quad tear comes to mind.

I doubt Vince cares about them at all. I certainly don't get the impression that he sees them as any sort of real competition. Unlike he did with WCW during the Monday night wars, nobody's ever mentioned TNA on the air even once that I can think of.

And so can a circle, and a straight line, and a picture of the sun, and a picture of the moon, and pretty much any symbol that's ever been invented. She's just a fucking idiot. I agree with Koab hating generalizations and the human populace en masse. Where I used to live, there were a few travelling Mormon missionaries who'd just walk down the street handing out literature. I'd always hand back their pamphlet, tell 'em I already had a Book of Mormon back home sitting next to my Koran and Necronominicon, and then walk off humming the "Dum DUM Dum dum Dum" tune from that episode of South Park. The most annoying part was the people involved: two of them were the dorkiest white boys who ever wore a necktie, and the other two were obviously the two hottest girls they had in their local church, put out on the street in a manner not dissimilar from charity carwashes that always put the cheerleaders out front while hiding the ugly motherfuckers like me who actually did the washing in the back.

To me, that one's all about context. Kobashi doing it in a big dome show main event? Fine. Super Dragon doing it in the midcard of some random indy show? Ugh. Might be that one big Kobashi vs. Akiyuma match from a couple years back, I remember they did some completely laughable sequence at the end where they kept hitting finishers on each other and popping right back up as if they were playing a game of fuckin' leapfrog. Okay, the bit where the guy randomly jumps over the other guy who's been knocked down? Another case of a good spot ruined through lazy repetition. In theory, the guy on the ground is supposed to dive sideways towards the other guy's feet, trying to trip him up as he's running (traditionally called a "drop down"). But guys who don't know how to work have turned it into one of those rope-running spots they do for pointless fast-paced motion in order to simulate action going on inside the ring, when really they're just running around not touching each other. Nah, he bounced his face right on the concrete, you can see it clearly in slo-mo. I agree with the Van Daminator sometimes looking like the coolest spot in history, sometimes looking like "why the hell did the guy just sit there for ten seconds straight holding that chair over his face?!". But all those people who bitch about how the other guy NEVER just hits RVD with the chair are wrong, I've seen that particular swerve done several times.

And her jaw. And forehead. And cartoonishly muscular build. The only differences between her and Nicole Bass were an adam's apple and a lotta cosmetic surgery.

So, the final verdict seems to be not that her mammary itself is offensive per se, but it's offensive in conjunction with y'all's projected feelings about her personal reasons for putting that pic in her avatar and the quirky pout thing she's doing with her mouth? Just want to make sure I've got it straight.

Hey Smitty, you're quoting me there, not him.

You think X-Pac wasn't? Dig up some pics of him as Lightning Kid and then compare that to how much bigger he was around 1999. As to the other example: if Road Dogg was on the gas... how could you tell?

Haven't they gone up the last month or so? ::checks how long Mornitro has had the belt:: Whoops, nevermind, looks like the ratings did indeed only pick up with the Whose Your Daddy angle... sigh.

Bright side?! MNM was one of the few good new teams to come along in the past few years. Compared to black holes of suckitude like Deuce & Domino, they're fucking awesome. There is no across-the-board "top-rope moves rule". The 450 and the shooting star press are the only things they specifically discouraged. Personally I don't like the Morrison gimmick, I didn't see any need to change Nitro in the first place, and 90% of the fans have no idea who the hell The Doors were anyway. But something must be working, since ECW's ratings have consistently gone up ever since Johnny got the belt.

My girlfriend went, so I did too. My dick was attached to her pussy 24/7, at least in a metaphorical sense. That's pretty much it. Plus, it was back in college, when I'd do goofy stuff like be the only male actor in the all-women feminist's one-act play night. I almost wish I hadn't been in a relationship then, cuz I coulda got all kinds of tail from that particular endeavor. And it would've been my specialty: pretentiously artistic, overly sensitive, precociously intelligent, at least half crazy, but still-awfully-ignorant-about-the-real-world tail. I'm like spanish fly to those types. Especially if they're bigger than me, for some reason.

Because Saddam killed everyone who disagreed with him. He ran a tyrannical dictatorship where either you did exactly what he wanted, or you were shot. Hell, if you were LUCKY you were shot, don't forget him using real live WMDs on his own population. And a SHITLOAD more Iraqis died in the war he led against Iran (unfortunately, with US backing) in the 80's than in every other conflict since then combined. Yes, Turkey and pretty much every other country in the region oppresses the Kurds. No, I don't think that's right. No, Saddam wasn't much of a threat to us. He sure as hell was a threat to his own people and all his immediate neighbors, as the tens of millions of people who'd died in those wars could tell you. It comes down to: do you think it's worth it to try to help other people in shitty countries? I do. Sadly, we've not done a very good job of it, but I don't think that taking Hussein out of power was ever a bad idea.

OH yeah. Attend a women's studies class or a Take Back The Night rally and you'll hear all kinds of crap like that.

Meh. Battledome is to American Gladiators like Gobots is to Transformers. They need to have Gemini back. He was the fuckin' man.

You think Saddam was doing just fine as a humanitarian leader?

Okay, I take it back, Marvin's got the biggest misery dick. But I'm, like, Ron Jeremy to his John Holmes.
