What more can anyone ask for..

OK.. I read history - Caesar, Claudius, Caligula, the might of the Roman Empire and of course Ben Hur and Gladiator with Russell Crowe. The screams of the crowd around the arena and life and death within it..

But, I was not prepared for "American Gladiators". What pathos, what suspense, what thrill, what courage, what inane stupidity.

If anyone wants to know what is wrong with our society, then please watch this program..

But personally,I'd mud wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sackful of porn."

Never heard of it or seen it ,, I dont watch the telly much. But let me guess,,,,,,does it involve some muscular blokes and blokettes smeared in body oil wearing gladiatorial outfits bashing each other with padded sticks and things. ?
