Idiocracy . . . Coming to a Television Near You . . . .

Jeebus Fugging Kripes . . . .  this exceptional "culture" of ours is just so hopelessly fucked up:

Who wants the first shot?

George Zimmerman has announced he's putting up his dukes for a celebrity boxing match — one that still needs an opponent.

"It was my idea," the heavyweight gunslinger told Radar Online of his upcoming plans orchestrated by former professional boxer Damon Feldman.

Zimmerman called boxing a hobby he had "prior to the incident" — that incident allegedly being the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin in 2012 — and one he's since started up again.

It was bound to happen though -- namely the idea of some enterprising, modern-day P.T. Barnum coming up with the idea and the balls to try and  capitalize monetarily on the tragic death of a 17 year old kid in a politically tinged, racially tainted shooting.

As much as the whole idea itself and the thought of the frenzied media twerking that is certain to surround such a tawdry event is disgusting to even ponder, The Gadfly knows full well that a whole lot of Americans will drool over the whole putrid spectacle.  In fact, it would not surprise The Gadfly in the least if it were to be produced as a cable television Pay-Per-View event and break records for viewership and highest money gross.

And since it's going to happen no matter how many people blanch and publicly protest such immature ugliness, the only way you'll pique The Gadfly's interest enough to have him forcefully hold back his desire to vomit long enough to participate in this freak show as an observer, is if Quick Draw McZimmerman has to fight this guy:

That man is Tracy Martin - Trayvon Martin's truck driver father.  The Gadfly is only speculating when he surmises that Mr. Martin might very well welcome the opportunity to get the unarmed McZimmerman in a ring and close physical proximity.

And to enhance the viewing public's bloodlust and overall spectator experience, both warriors must be outfitted just like this fellow (and yes - that would be an authentic, forged steel pitchfork and shield/spear shown here):

Hell -- make it happen just like that and The Gadfly might even be inspired to fly to whatever goddamn city the event is taking place in and attend the event in person -- maybe even with his own, hand picked entourage of dear Frolicking Gadly readers in tow.

Sigh . . . . . . . . . . . .
