What was up with American Gladiators last night?

You know, besides the obvious (that the show is fucking retarded).I had to post this picture of Malibu again. Shit, something tells me that 90's Mayor (back when I was but a wee School Trustee or Secretary of...I clearly don't know the levels of civic leadership) I probably had a crush on Malibu. And if I had to wager a guess, I would predict that Malibu has spent all his Gladiator money and is doing rails off an LA club owner's balls in exchange for a hot meal. Imagine if, in reality, he had a wife and children? Then what I just said would be considered slanderous (and also very funny).
Okay, so last night was...something. I can't quite put my finger on it. Wait, yes I can. Did it not seem super punny to you last night? "Little pigs, little pigs, come challenge me on the rings! The Wolf is hungry for some food! (Howls)"
Who is writing this stuff? I bet it's Malibu.
That 'good ol' boy' from the midwest was driving me insane. Everything out of his mouth was a crude stereotype. I almost turned off the TV when he said "it was just like rasslin' a hog back on the farm! Go America!" Uh, what? And then that blonde girl who kept speaking in motivational posters? "When I was up there on the rings with Crush, I just held on tight to my goals and believed I could achieve anything I set my mind to! Go America!" Shit, no wonder the terrorists hate us. And the Mom who is the North American grappling champion but spoke like she was always talking to a 3 year old? "That Gauntlet is sure a gosh-darn thingamagig of owies, but I managed to wiggle my little patootie outta there in record time! Go America!"
And then there was a black guy who really didn't fit a stereotype at all. He is a smart guy who went to college and loves his momma. I was hoping for his back story to be that he grew up on the mean streets of inner-city Chicago and killed his first Crip at 13 or something. Not so much.
Anyways, as usual, Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali were pretty stupid and provided me with an opportunity to check out other station's commercials. Muhammad Ali must be so proud, eh? Whatever, I will clearly be watching it next week (especially since Monday television is a steaming pile of homeless dookie).

GINGER TUESDAYS WILL RESUME NEXT WEEK.
