Spare me. Was it really so good that they had to bring back "American Gladiators?"

But doesn't Kelly Clarkson deserve more votes than Ralph Nader?
I'd be more likely to vote for Kelly than for George W, if we could rewind four years.
Why has American Gladiators become the go to example for the end of all that is right and good in television? At least with American Gladiators they're awarding people for actually doing something. This as opposed to The Bachelor or Rock of Love. Their only contribution to society has been to set the women's movement back a couple of centuries. I know it's the thing to mock AG right now, but there are far, far worse shows that exist. If Flavor of Love didn't usher in the apocolypse, I don't think some bodybuilders in Spandex will.
OMG. The Rock of Love was like a car crash in slo-mo.
....and they brought back American Gladiators?! !
Gladiators --> Rome --> Empire go bye bye
American Gladiators --> US --> Who knows?
It's some sort of culture issue, don't you think?
I see where you're going. Well, there have yet to be any deaths or man vs lion battles on AG, so I think that for the time being we're safe.
So, which is worse do you think: Rock of Love or Tila Tequila?
Wow. That's like whatever the opposite of Sophie's Choice is. I guess I'd give it to Tila because she's taking down women, men, lesbians and bisexuals all in one fell swoop.
