It hasnt aired here yet (its a programme) i just saw the ad...

and that made me think about it. I hate it already after just seeing one ad.

Thats the best link i have on it.

Hopefully some of you have seen it, so you can say what you think about it.

But what i got from that article and the ad is that Humans challange animals in certain tasks, like a tug of war between a chimpanzee and a sumo wrestler, etc

I really hope this is only a one of and it isnt a series.

Here is what i think of it: it's sick.

I think I will buy myself the coward t-shirt:

'On the front is a cowboy riding a horse and the word COWBOY but the boy is crossed out and COWARD is spelled.On the back is the saying,"BECAUSE SPORTS ARE BETWEEN TWO LIKE-SUITED WILLING OPPONENTS".'

There are no words for how revolted I am at that.

(I LOVE that shirt thought!)

Interesting title..... "Man vs. Beast". When I look around at (hu)man's behaviour, it seems much of the time we're more the Beast.

Jesse Owens stated that it was somewhat humiliating when he was pitted against a horse in a race. It was the '30s, I believe, and the world class athlete and Olympic champion, had no other options because of the racism of that time. Many people saw it as "wrong," which, I guess it is in those terms; yet who would ever blame him? He had no opportunities, even as a champion, based soley on the ignorance of others.

This aired on fox once last year, so I've seen part of the episode. They didn't make any after because it's so F***ING STUPID!!

Midgets vs and elephant? Come on.

Also, the sprinter loses to the giraffe and demands a rerace because the giraffe got a head start. And he was serious!

Just hearing the title, I already don't like the show. "Beast" what a human-centric word. Here are some of the definitions at dictionary.com:

Quote:

A brutal, contemptible person.

Any four-footed animal, that may be used for labor, food, or sport; as, a beast of burden.

As opposed to man: Any irrational animal.

Fig.: A coarse, brutal, filthy, or degraded fellow.

Animals are equated with contemptible persons. The implication being that humans are so much better than animals.
