We’re in an era where television executives take the day-to-day lives of exterminators, meter maids, and people with irritating mother-in-laws and turn them into reality TV. In other words, people are so starved for entertainment that they’ll watch just about ANYTHING. What if, my friends, we had something as amazing as this on the boob tube here in the states? The ratings would be ASTRONOMICAL.

In a stunning upset, Liberal MP Justin Trudeau brawled his way to a third-round TKO victory over Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau. The referee stopped the fight in third and final round.

…It was an astonishing turn of events, which followed weeks of speculation that Trudeau would not only be beaten, but injured. Brazeau was a three-to-one favourite to win. He has a background in martial arts and formerly served as a reservist in the Canadian Forces.

…As of Saturday night, the event had raised more than $230,000 for the cancer foundation — $30,000 of that raised by the fighters themselves.

Politician vs. Politician — in the ring! The possibilities are ENDLESS.

Who wouldn’t pay good money to see Bill O’Reilly slug it out with Keith Olbermann? How about Norm Coleman vs. Al Franken? Todd Palin vs. Levi Johnston? We could even break it into teams like it’s done with the ultimate fighter. Imagine Team Tea Party vs. Team Occupier. What’s not to love?

It’s such a genius idea because it combines two things Americans love: senseless violence and complete unpredictability. Just imagine it: Heath Shuler is trained by a professional boxer and signs up to fight Allen West, who’s being trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by the Gracie family. You think American Idol could stand up to that? Then think again, my friend, think again!
