Wipeout!

I am back. Had some technical issues with my last post, so I am pissed about that. I may to try to recreate that post later.

Anybody watch that show on ABC called "Wipeout". I must be a sucker for bad television, but this is really bad. It is based on a Japanese game show and much like that Japanese show, dubbed into English, run on Spike called Most Extreme Challenge. This is where contestants go through this obstacle course and have the announcer actually make fun of them.

In Wipeout, the goal is to have the fastest time in the final challenge, after getting through 2 other challenges. The obstacles included water and running across 4 big balls. The best part is the wall where random boxing gloves punch out at the contestants. They get hit and fall into a pit of mud.

The part that I find funny is that I do find it entertaining when people get hurt. This is made all the worse for me as this is.....the goal of the show is this...we will knock the ever loving crap out of you and make snide remarks throughout. For this, you have the chance to win $50,000. For the CHANCE to receive $50K, you can debase yourself. Now, that is a show.

Of course, listening to the large African American woman cry for Jesus after getting hit and falling into to the mud was priceless. Actually, her inability to get out of the mud, still calling for Jesus, was hilarious. It was getting to be pretty obvious that Jesus does not help those who would put themselves through this abuse (I am not complaining about the physical challenge, that is pretty cool) for money. I think Jesus takes his break at that point. Either that, or he is watching and laughing his ass off.

Ciao!
