Wrestling IS fake!
A few days late (stupid babies catching every stupid cold they can), but still worth posting about…
In the sixties, I Dream of Jeannie’s censors required Barbara Eden to hide her belly button under a blob of putty. The modern viewer chuckles at this example of prudish olde tyme logic — she’s a hot chick living in unmarried man’s house, but clearly it’s not a problem because she doesn’t have a navel… or something like that.
Today, graphic designers remove wrestlers’ nipples. (read the original article as well)
I haven’t had a good laugh at wrestling since they lost their right to call themselves WWF (can you really blame the World Wildlife Federation for that?) so this was a good day.
When the WWF changed their name, I had no idea what the “E” stood for, so I called them the “World Wrestling Empire.” Alas, a few months ago, I saw their trucks parked outside the performance center in downtown Columbia, and it said “World Wrestling Entertainment.”
