Hmm, I won't be watching "Tearing down a wall with your damn bare hands on ESPN2" because, "Women Sure Are Dumb Slut Bitches: Pass The Beer" is on Comedy Central.
Dude, The listings that you posted are from the theonion.com Web site. They are a satirical Web site ...
Re: Re: ESPN2 Listings... Oh my god! ;-) I can't even tell who's one-upping who anymore. which is not to say that i don't have one or two guesses...
Re: Re: ESPN2 Listings... Oh my god! ;-) Dude, The post that you quoted is from the BigSoccer.com Web site. It is a satirical web site ... Satire, by the way, is only funny in so far as it captures something about the reality of things. And that ESPN2 has a number of shows whose link to sports is ... hmm ... tenuous at best, is a well documented fact. That ESPN2 seems to prefer shows not far from "Death-Rink Rodeo" to Major League Soccer is also something frequently discussed here. Anyway ... I don't know 'bout ya'll but I'm gonna be watching Fox's "When Women Get Their Dresses Torn Off". And, frankly, MLS can't compete with that for my attention ...
Before anyone gets crazy about sme of the real stuff ESPN shows, can you remind me what the E stood for when the network began?
Re: Re: Re: ESPN2 Listings... Oh my god! ;-) Rink Rodeo wasn't really popular until they added "Death" in front of it. That's why I think Letterman's idea of changing "soccer" to "Deathball 2000" deserves serious consideration.
Re: Re: ESPN2 Listings... Oh my god! ;-) A-ha! I knew there was something fishy... dang kids. COME ON !!!!, you didn't actually think I was serious did you?
Just thought I'd have to point out that The Onion's classic spoof of local stadium-building politics, "Congress Threatens To Leave D.C. Unless New Capitol Is Built" (http://www.theonion.com/onion3820/congress_threatens.html) was picked up by a Chinese news service as if it were true. I think the best Onion article is "NFL Star Thanks Jesus After Successful Double Homicide" (http://www.theonion.com/onion3604/nfl_star_homicide.html)
Best one ever (can't find the link) is something like \ "78 Percent of Americans Are Sick and Tired of This Sht." Classic. Sachin
Several years ago there was an Onion 'story' about a Chinese woman who had sextuplets but due to the one child policy she had to throw the rest off a mountain. (included convincing picture of middle aged chinese woman looking distressed). Apparently the story appeared on one of those televangelist TV channels and people phoned in offering to adopt the remaining kids.
Yes...Entertainment. You really are an old-tyme cable dude if you remember that back then, there was another channel called "Sports Programming Network" (SPN) so they had to have another name. One other old-tyme naming recollection: today's Arts and Entertainment ("A&E") channel was the merger of two channels: ARTS ("Alpha Repertory Television Service," the Alpha meant it was the first fine arts channel) and the Entertainment channel. Today's Comedy Central was the merger of two comedy channels: The Comedy Channel (I think it was "channel," not "network") and HA-TV ("Humor Access Television"). No, the Weather Channell was not the merger of two meterology networks...
