Is it wrong to admire these guys:
I think you can probably admire their industry and ingenuity, if not their goals and accomplishments.
That's a lot of hard work. I'd rather get a job.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

From Wired:
Smackfest Slapped Down
A New York City radio station has agreed to stop its Smackfest promotion -- women slapping each other for prizes. WQHT Hot 97, a hip-hop station owned by Emmis Communications, held 24 Smackfest contests and then posted images on its website of the young women fighting. It was hit with a $240,000 fine for violating a state law prohibiting the promotion of a combative sport. New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said the fine should be a wake-up call for businesses that think "outrageousness is a clever marketing strategy."

I'm getting the pig!
Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?
Not that I'm pro-Smackfest. I'm too fragile for Smackfest.

Maybe they thought slapfights were too silly. I certainly do.

If you think round's funny
Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?
My understanding was that the event required a license, which they did not have. Less clear is whether event involving might fists of quit it need a license.
