I rarely watch television except for the occasional movie and sporting events. So whilst flipping through the channels after the NBA game last night, I was confronted with not one, but two cases of reality bullshido.
1) I'm not certain of the programs name, but I posted it before...some Dr. who is a plastic surgeon does TKD....either ITF or WTF...he's been seen training on other episodes before.
Well in this episode, he's training to compete again (he used the word fight) after a 3 year layoff...because he was KO'd. Anyways, spend 10 minutes filled with the usual, "I'm deadly, the is fighting for real, full contact, take no prisoners", etc, etc. They show a small bit of him sparring someone who was supposedly a Korean Army champ for practice (his instructor) and he is just getting worked silly by the much smaller opponent.
Ok...bad...it gets worse.
2) Later on I happen to catch a glimpse of Karate Uniforms and low and behold...it is the Gotti show and Victoria and her sister are taking "Self Defense". Looks like TKD or some McDojo BS again. Best part of the entire show is at the end.
Victoria's sister asks one of the sons to "grab her". So he does and she looks all confused and doesn't do anything. He's like, "what's up" and she says you grabbed the wrong arm...you have to grab the right arm. So she sticks out her right arm and the kid (who has done a little boxing) pretends to stick her in the face/grabs her arm/punches her again.
Classic...and much more hilarity ensues.
It was so terrible I had to share and the first person smaller than me with less skill who makes any comments about me watching these shows I'm kicking your ass. ;)
