Vick, B*rbaro Stories Converge In (Where Else?) China
Today in the Courier Times, diminutive 76ers guard Lou Williams says he supports Michael Vick, who will be sentenced next month for his guilty plea in a dogfighting case. You know, he’s not into dogfighting, but Vick attended his high school games when Vick was on the Falcons and Williams was a high schooler in the ATL, so he hopes he can get his life back on track once he’s out of jail. (Horse people, of course, want him executed.) Anyway, ever since the Michael Vick dogfighting story broke, I’ve been using a joke about how the sport (uh, whatever) I really want to see is horsefighting. It combines the brutality of horse racing and dogfighting with the gambleability of, well, horse racing and dogfighting. Turns out, like most cool things in this country, horsefighting is made in China. Yes, Britain’s Telegraph. According to the paper, the sport has been celebrated for over five hundred years in China and is even on some tourists’ itineraries!
As you may know, I have been engaged in a War on Horses ever since B*rbaro broke his leg last year. B*rbaro, who has received more attention than any human murder victim this year, not only blew my Preakness Stakes trifecta but jokes about him (and other horses) have caused people to call my boss, threaten to call my advertisers and generally make me love the Internet more and more with each passing day. I am glad that China is now on my side in the War on Horses. Hopefully, I can add more great countries like North Korea, Iran and Saudi Arabia to the list of War on Horse supporters shortly. Ira Einhorn is also reportedly interested in supporting the cause. As you can see in the photo above, both Vick and Lou Williams love the sport! Also, does anyone know if they have kangaroo fighting? I think that might be a better replacement joke, but I’m guessing that could actually exist. How about hippo fighting? Horse fighting condemned as ‘barbaric’ [Telegraph] |

Ooooh boy.
That horse is about to get a right hoof and a new look.
So very, very wrong.
hey dmac, why the long face?
I actually do kind of want to see what this is like out of morbid curiosity. How do horses fight?
On the other hand, I don’t know if even *I* could support this sort of activity. But I won’t be able to afford going to China anytime soon so it’s a moot point anyway.
You are quite a glutton for pain.
I’m so sick of you showing up in my B*rbaro alerts. Grow up and get a real job.
Ah! So that’s how it happens! I’ve always wondered where the FOB’s come from, how they find out if you’ve been writing about B*rbaro again. The solution was so simple, I’m ashamed I hadn’t thought of it: Google News Alerts!
I guess I didn’t realize PWD qualified for Google News.
Of course! It’s nice when your stupid blog is attached to a newspaper, you can get on Google News. Unless the B*rbaro people protest to have me removed! Oh, that would be great.
Anyway, apparently I’m not allowed to mention B*rbaro in any post except when he’s eventually canonized for fear of showing up in someone’s news alert. I’ve censored all mentions of that great horse in this post and comments.
Yeah, get a real job! And cut your hair, hippie!!!
