We, as a society, allowed this to happen to two young girls. They're building up their entire lives for this moment. And who are they after that?" Al-Doory said.

We, as a society, never endorsed or promoted knee whacking. In fact, we have always taken the stand that it's a crime. Do people get to toss all sense of personal responsibility these days? I must be behind the times.

I thought the lifetime ban was extreme, especially after SLC, but give me a break.

Thanks attyfan, it's the same one.

Jhar, to post a link, just copy the url from your address bar into the GS dialogue box. The v-Bulletinboard software will do the rest automatically. (You can practice in the "Testing" folder if you want. )

Please, Nancy and Tonya are old news. What I want to see is Plushy and Yags: the Musical. That would be so awesome!

"Tonya and Nancy" follows the lines of "Jerry Springer _ The Opera," a London hit based on the equally lowbrow world of daytime talk TV. Al-Doory takes the well-known rivalry between the skaters and recasts it as one in which they both struggle to overcome personal troubles and public perception.

This article aroused enough curiosity in me to actually go to Amazon.com to see if there were soundtracks available for either of these plays. The Springer one is only available as an expensive import. It's interesting that the British often have a more realistic take on American culture than us yanks. Click HERE to take a look at the thing. There are a few song titles (one involving Montel Williams) that cannot be mentioned in this or any other family oriented bulletin board.​
