What's kind of funny is the author says for them to "get a job" and the media has been calling them has-beens but if they checked their facts some they would see Bonaduce (of all people) has a top-rated LA morning radio show as well as a syndicated tv show. Not exactly king of all media, but certainly moreso than his fellow combatants.

Apparently wearing advertising body art is the key to victory. I hope you aren’t questioning the legitimacy of the noble sport that is Celebrity Boxing. Personally, I liked it just because it was untrained people fighting each other on TV. It was Jerry Springer without the pretense of being a talk show.

I enjoyed the part where Vanilla Ice got punched in the face repeatedly. Several years too late, but better late than never.

I can't imagine wanting to do this. It's like volunteering to be ridiculed. And then Vanilla Ice acts put upon because he couldn't use his real name! Listen, man, you're in a celebrity boxing match! Going by your given name is not going to salvage any dignity; there's just nothing left to salvage.

I hope you aren’t questioning the legitimacy of the noble sport that is Celebrity Boxing. Absolutely not! Just the other day we were talking about how the temporary tattoos are a constitutional right, and the Salon article says "Bonaduce, Bridges and Harding, wore body-art advertising for a Web site." They all won, right? So clearly the temp tattoos are responsible.
