Lighten Up Already
World Wrestling Entertainment recently found itself in the position of defending the psychological and cultural nuances of one of its characters after a particularly ill-timed episode of "SmackDown." The episode featured an Arab-American character named Muhammad Hassan, and it ran on July 7, the same day as the London terrorist attacks.For the record -- professional wrestling is fake, it's as bogus as Monopoly money, it makes a three dollar bill look legit. The whole thing is scripted, they have writers for crying out loud.
Anybody that takes professional wrestling seriously enough to get offended really, really needs a life.
