..I also struggled to decide what category to put this under, it's definitely NOT sport, so I settled for SAC. Utter madness, what next, pick axe handles?

I'm guessing a man thing although some women will insist on the right to take part I am sure. I first thought I must have the date wrong... How people can be so stupid is beyond me. There is also all the negative connection to slapping, ranging from slapping children, to partner abuse, the slap of the hysterical or shocked person, the high camp ' how dare you'slap, the movie soap after a kiss, None of these speak of a fair battle between equals so how they think turning it into a contest will change that. I despair of humanity sometimes, but sadly somehow I am not that surprised.

Probably inspired by Will Smith.

No different to boxing

What very uncomfortable reading! How soon before a 'contestant' has brain damage or worse? Sheer stupidity.

[pastafreak]

A boxer is allowed to defend himself...these contestants aren't allowed to.

Very different to boxing. No skill involved here, just the desire to do physical harm to another person, I don't like boxing either but at least defence is part of the art. It's pathetic , I wonder if those running this are hoping for one of the competitors will lose it on screen and a real fight will break out. It's the only way it could provide any sort of spectacle.

1) find the page you want to link to
2) click on the address bar, it should highlight it, if it doesn'y click on a blank part of the page heading then click again.
3)Hover over the highlighted bit and right click and select copy
4) go to the area where you want the link to appear, eg the answer box in AB and press CTRL+V together or right click and select paste.
the above instructions make it look more involved than it is but it's really very simple

Certainly won't be on my 'Must Watch' list.

Thanks for that 3T.Any word on Gromit now that he has left this site?

[rowanwitch]

Can 't see being able to give someone a good slap being a route out of crime,and anti social behaviour somehow in the way that inner city boxing clubs have done. And Ladies would you date a man whose claim to fame us he won a slapping competition in 2023!

[ToraToraTora]

Gromit's still here though he has turned a bit trollish.

[rowanwitch]

More Were -rabbit then
