How can anyone watch suck dreck?
Anyone other than mentally deficient rednecks I mean.
Table? Cardboard! Plain stupidity!
It’s the same as with NASCAR, I just don’t get it.
And this has what to do with anything? Gasparrini, stop letting your 10 year-old post for you. =P
Its all too easy to point out dreck for dreck but aren’t all “SPECTATOR SPORTS” more alike than different? Not absolutely the same, just very similar along certain lines.
Then you realize those certain lines are also present in other human affairs.
Are we as individuals more INVOLVED in politics, or moreso just SPECTATORS??? We are all mostly spectators–even when voting.
Life as a spectator sport. How to maximize the meaning===without entering a make shift sweat lodge???
We come to grips with these issues usually after the energy to do anything about it has been sapped.
I wish I could play the guitar.
YAAAAAAWWNNNN!
I wish he would do this to Lady Gaga. Then she can wear the table.
When I was a boy we had real sport. I can still remember the Coliseum in those days, no faking there. Heads, arms flying everywhere, but the hungry lions were my favorite.
#5 Good points!
Hopenhagen is indeed a spectator sport.
I wish I could play the guitar too…
I agree with AkiKazeta. Who gives a shit about Mark Cuban anyway?
#9,
I just wish you could play “semi intelligent”.
#11 Mr. Fusion the only posts you ever make are bashing others.
How much involvement have you made at Hopenhagen? TTHor and bobbo are completely correct, politics and Hopenhagen especially so is a spectator sport and your nothing but a hooligan getting pounded by the supporters of the opposite team.
These must the most poorly made tables, hope they saved the receipts.
Professional wrestling is like opera, great myths of good and evil played out on a grand stage, with larger than life characters.
Think about it.
To bad Cuban will not be on injured reserve for the year. We could use a break from him here in Dallas.
who is mark cuban? what is this video about? none of it makes sense…
What kind of people think that watching to people beat each other nearly-to-death is wholesome family fun?
Who and what is going on? Is Plain involved? I don’t get it. Is this some sort of reality tv show?
Who is Mark Cuban???
Yea. Let’s throw Lady GoGo through a table.
5, Most voting Americans believe in the concept that we live in a Democracy albeit a Democratic Republic. We are socialized to believe in the “Democratic” way.
However, every major institution in our lives does not nurture this concept. We are conditioned to conform. There is no democracy at work in the Family, School, or at Work. Nonconformity is punished while conformity is rewarded.
The one opportunity people have to exercise their “Democratic” right is at the voting booth. And depending on who you talk to, that too is up for debate.
So you have a point in that much of all politics is a spectator sport no matter how “involved” we’d like to think we are politically.
Mark Cuban is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, an NBA basketball team, and Chairman of HDNet, an HDTV cable network.
And we wonder why the world hates us?
I’m surprised no one has said the obvious post for this…
FAAAAKE!!!!!!
🙂
Is Cuban bored? I suppose doing this is cheaper than space tourism. I wonder, did he have to take “acting” lessons?
30 years ago my uncle posed a rhetorical question to me: “Why don’t they just give them all knives and guns and let them have it out once and for all?”
America: “We care about stupid bullshit.”
I don’t care much for Cuban but you know, it’s kind of fun to see a rich guy actually enjoy his millions.
Take Murdoch: a rich man who worries about staying rich instead of enjoying being rich. A man who’s loyalty to his own country is up for sale. I wonder when the last time was he had a laugh?
Wow, I didn’t think that my impression of Mark Cuban could sink lower. I was wrong. He is now approaching Dennis Rodman status.
Well, better this than an exposé on his dalliances with porn stars, ala Tiger Woods.
If only it was real, that would’ve been entertaining.
