They say "cartoonish violence and sex appeal" as if it's a bad thing.

Hey, Tony Atlas doesn't have to wear African garb anymore. Plus, the only wrestler from "deepest, darkest Africa" was a white man. So there. They teach diversity.

Haven't watched WWE in a long time, but the divas are still hot. I'll check out the WWE Divas page periodically to see who will be in Playboy in the coming months.

No. They seem to inhibit memory, actually. Maybe she can institute the same drug policy as the WWE--if you get caught we will publicly humiliate you and you may have to even kiss Vince's ass before going on suspension.

Hmm, considering that WWE has been rated TV-PG since last summer, something tells me that this writer still thinks this is 1998.

I hate when people say Pro Wrestling is fake. You have no idea how much hard work those athletes put in to compete at that level. Let's see you get thrown 10 feet into the air and have a 300lb. man land on your head. It's not fake dammit, you just don't get it because you probably like some pussy-ass sport like golf. I'll suplex your ass, biatches!

I read that as "math format".

Suzy wants to add sequins to her bra costume. Blue sequins can fit 10 to a square inch, but red only fit 5 to a square inch. Suzy is a triple-D and thinks using both wouldn't clash at all. How many sequins will she need?

I think it's hilarious, actually. No one ever complains that "The Office" is fake or the latest movie is fake or whatever. Of course it is fake--they are actors (just like any other fictional show on television, including Survivor and Man vs. Wild). So I don't even get the "it's fake" criticism. "It sucks" maybe, but "it's fake" just is so weird to me.

Indeed. Wrestling is NOT fake. Wrestling is choreographed, and is not a legitimate athletic competition. But you need only look at the myriad of injuries suffered by wrestlers, coupled with the daily punishment their bodies receive (you may know you're going to get clocked with a steel chair before it happens, but it still hurts like a motherfarker), to realize what they're doing isn't "fake."

QFT.

I'm willing to bet 90%-95% of what anybody watches is "fake", but somehow, that criticism only gets applied to wrestling, as if it's some great sin to act (act badly, yes, but act nonetheless).
