Full Metal Jousting
 

Yes, you read that right - jousting. Full contact modern jousting.

I saw an ad for this at the movie theatre yesterday.

I can't decide who this show is *supposed* to appeal to (especially on the History Channel). Rennies? Sports enthusiasts? Reality show junkies? I'm also surprised that PETA/ASPCA is letting them get away with using horses for actual jousting.

I don't have History Channel, but I'll totally be looking at the episodes when they post them online.

I just accepted a part time position of Promotional Director for www.WorldofRennies.com (getting into Renaissance Faire stuff has actually paid off), and it would be awesome if I could get some interviews/exclusives, but I'm having trouble figuring out a way to make that happen. Buuuut, where there's a will, there's a way. :)
