    TNN Thunderdome ** Possibly the worst exposure for PB Ever!

    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.

            what is up with this? the past few days has been nothing but bad representation. Given thunderdome is a show of poor representation, and its targeted audience is the old audience of American Gladiators (better show IMHO) and people who like to see things go boom. THe show is created to draw the attention of some of the lesser minded. People who like to see things get shot up, and things done wrecklessly. You all know this, and i dont condone it. IM just tired of it thats all, it is infuriating me and im tired if this shtuff

                was there a reason? and were the whale watchers planning on letting it happen?
                I'm going through paintball withdrawal, I haven't been able to play since November 2003!

                  he didnt shoot any whales, i think they just thought he was joking or something. im not really sure tho cause i just saw the last minute of it and it was at 3 in the morning so i didnt really remember the details.
