Points: 14,045, Level: 76 | Level up: 77%, 5 Points needed | | I watched a little bit of RAW, but I turned it on just after 9PM. And I turned it off at 9:30 PM as I went to get some shut-eye. Oh well. I imagine there may be a match between McCain and Obama in late October or on the day before the general election in November.

Seems like a pretty good way of getting some face time with a demographic that wouldn't normally get it. A captive audience at that.
Oh and thanks for calling me a youth.......

Call me old-fashioned but I think it belittles the candidates and the gravity of the electoral process by stooping down to this level, instead of inspiring WWE fans to raise their sights.
It's all part of the general American malaise which is increasingly unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality, accompanied by an ever-shrinking attention span which demands that everything be "entertaining"!

The influx of immigrants who enjoy things like cock fighting aren't helping the situation either. Have you ever wondered why NASCAR and reality shows are so popular in America? Such a pity we are turning into a nation of marching morons. |
