American Gladiators Returns: Bigger, Badder & More Christian?



The triumphant return of a television relic. (But with strong Christian under tones???)

C4NN: What do NBC's American Gladiators and Christianity have in common? Apparently a lot more then you'd think according to this guy.

"American Gladiators could definitely be a platform to spread Christianity." Out in the seats of Gladiator Arena, his supporters (Andy, a recent contestant who is an ordained minister) wore T-shirts reading "REV IT UP." Jesus Christ.

C4NN Says:


I'm going to harness all of my will power and ignore the part about "REV IT UP. JESUS CHRIST" and get right to the point.

Lets start off with a direct excerpt from the new American Gladiators website.

"American Gladiators celebrates the everyday, true American heroes -- weekend warriors who excel and take pride in their physical fitness. These contestants will go up against the show's gladiators -- charismatic and eclectic warriors -- in the ultimate David & Goliath battle"

And to think this whole time I thought NBC was using a random biblical comparison. Apparently not. Well, If everything NBC says is so literal then this leads me to believe that Chuck Norris really did once win a game of Connect Four in 3 moves. And leads me to another conclusion...

If American Gladiators is a platform to spread Christianity...

And American Gladiators is sponsored by Subway....then does that mean....



...Not that I'm saying religion is a profitable business or anything. Also with the TV show sporting events such as "The Eliminator" it really is easy to see how this show is able to spread such a wholesome Christian message.

THE ELIMINATOR: "This is the ultimate timed obstacle course with fire and water. Contenders ascend and dive off of a 10-foot platform, swim beneath a flaming surface and climb a cargo net to pedal cranks high above ground. The contenders then pedal to a beam they must traverse across, then leap off and sprint up the Pyramid to a giant zip line that drops them at the reverse escalator. At the top of the reverse escalator they race again to crash through the finish line."

I mean with a description like that, you can literally just close your eyes and picture Moses crossing the desert. Or Bruce Willis in your favorite Die Hard. Same deal....right?

Yeah, maybe if the Bible was produced by Michael Bay.

Here to Breitling Navitimer standard "port hole" rubber strap, but I think Chronomat B01 will look really nice on a metal bracelet. This functionally styled Montbrillant Datora is exactly what has been selling well for the brand lately, and I think the design really helps clean up the look of the older model, as well as helps it stand out more in the overall collection of Superocean .
