I can not believe what I just saw on TV!!!!
TNN has a show call Thunderdome. It caught my attention while channel surfing because a whacked out looking camo wearing wrestler-want-to-be was brandishing a m98 with CO2 while yapping at an interviewer. No there was not a barrel plug.
The next scene is a similar interview with his opponent. In this segment, the 2nd member of this opposing team actually shoots the interviewer on camera in the back from about 20-30 ft. No one pictured has a mask on. I'm freaking at this point but it gets worse!!!
The competition is of the two 2 person teams riding dirt bikes with side cars around an off road arena course while shooting each other. Not one of the course workers, commentators, audience, or players has an approved mask. Oh it gets worse still...
They wail around this course ripping paint at each other and one of the drivers appears to have his motorcycle helmet shield up!
Unbelievably... there is yet another level of stupidity.....
In the closing interview, the winning team shoots the unprotected interviewer AGAIN!
I've never seen this show before and don't know if this is a regular debasement of paintball or just a onetime Monstrous act of reckless endangerment.
Someone help me find an email addy for TNN. I am completely shocked that I saw this.
