Alleged Gladiator Maniac Robber Caught

Hey, so cops caught one of the alleged robbers who tied up a Penn dental student and then sat down to watch American Gladiators.

The robbers allegedly went around town using the victim’s ATM card at the Gallery, the Shops at 69th Street and other places that make you wish these guys had better taste than that. Cops eventually caught one of the alleged robbers after he used a stolen card at, uh, the Rite Aid at 23rd and Walnut. Let’s hope the rest of the guys are caught soon, too.

Malibu, Zap, Nitro, Gold, Thunder, Turbo, Tower, Viper and Ice could all not be reached for comment.

U. City Robbers Are Gladiator Maniacs

As you may have read, I was quite the fan of the new American Gladiators, for various reasons. It did fairly well in the ratings and is coming back for another season.

And apparently some robbers liked the show a lot, too, as two men allegedly tied up a Penn dental student and stayed at his apartment to watch a rerun of Gladiators. They also stayed overnight and took his laptop and iPhone.

While I enjoyed the show, I don’t think I’d commit a home invasion to watch it. Even if it was an episode with a lot of Hellga in it.

This Is The Greatest Show In TV History

if you’re not watching the new American Gladiators on Monday nights, you’re not living. Here, we see my favorite Gladiator, Hellga, in Assault. Oh, yes, this is television at its best. Can we bring back Guts, too?
