I just thought I'd let you know that while I was in Idaho over the holidays I saw American Gladiator on my parent's cable TV. This time the "atheletes" were rolling around inside giant wiffle balls, while the crowd roared for blood and the commentator rambled on about the subtleties of being inside a giant ball.

So the gladiators have now made it as far as Idaho. The end of civilization as we know it is nigh.
