Extreme

So last night I was watching TV. I don’t have cable, which means I have 6 channels from which to choose what I watch. My options last night:

1. George Bush talking about something
2. George Bush talking about something
3. George Bush talking about something
4. George Bush talking about something
5. Eye for an Eye
6. Blue Collar TV

Of course I went with Eye for an Eye. Was there really any other choice?

Have you ever seen this show? I think it’s rather fabulous, though I think it’s definitely a tad on the racist side and I shouldn’t have found it as funny as I did…
In the show, Judge Extreme Akim is like a Judge Judy who uses a baseball bat instead of a gavel. His commentator is Tommy Habeeb and his bailiff is Sugar Ray Phillips (former middleweight boxing champion of the world).

On the episode I watched, the case was two sisters fighting it out over money. Sister I was unemployed and living with Sister II. Sister I won $500 in the lottery and Sister II thought the money should go to her since she had paid so much for Sister I (rent, food, etc.). Since so much badmouthing took place over the trial, Judge Extreme Akim’s decision was that both sisters would fight it out. The winning lottery ticket was hidden in a full dumpster and the sister had to search for it. After one of them found it, they had to fight each other for it. He also threw in an extra $200 so that the ultimate winner got $700. At some point during the battle, a spectator jumped into the dumpster and Sugar had to yank him out.
