You crazy Canadians. I fully expect this to become an Olympic event....
[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]Pillow Fighting Now a Sport
It's official: pillow fighting has gone big time and is now a competitive "sport" in Toronto, complete with its own [a href="http://www.gopfl.com/"]Pillow Fight League[/a]:[/p] [blockquote] [em]"We've created a new sport," Case explains. "They're not joking around; the fights are real. The girls are going for martial arts training, boxing, and then they're applying a pillow to it."[/em][/p] [em]Like with any league, there are rules - fights are won if a competitor is pinned or surrenders, or if the referee stops the fight. If the fighters are still standing after five minutes, a three-judge panel determines the winner. And, yes, the pillows are all regulation - medium-sized, man-made fibres only - bought during a raucous testing session at Honest Ed's.

So many times I read these bizarre things, and I WANT to respond. I actually go to the reply page and everything. Then I sit there wondering, 'What can you really SAY about that'. Then I move on.
