MFADD has been around forever (#18)

and they can't influence anything.  Every single ballpark in america has beer ads everywhere.  And every day, families bring their kids to the park.  You can't say alcohol is legal and not allow games or sponsorships involving alcohol.  Now, the World Series of Joint Rollin'  would be a tough sell.

a better comparison... (#19)

This would be kind of like when the world series of poker aired on espn. More teens and kids started playing poker for money thus starting gambling at an early age. Parents (mostly mothers) didn't like espn airing poker and started some controversy. If kids and teens see these guys playing beruit, they are going to  want to try it too. Anything that kids see on tv is going to influence them so even spike might not be able to do it. I know that there are middle school kids that watch spike so putting it on spike would not make it any better. I feel like one of their only options is like late night HBO or something of the sort. Even though parents weren't able to get poker off tv, I think keeping beruit of tv would be a lot easier.

f em.  Parents need to do some parenting and talk to their kids about alcohol and drugs.   Why ruin a good time FOR adults just cause they can't control their kids?

there really is no way of controlling what a kid watches on tv. Any parental blocks and they will always find away around it. Same with playing beruit. I'm not saying it can't be on tv but it would have to be a channel FOR adults like HBO late at night or starz late at night. I'm not saying it wouldn't be a good show to watch, I just think it wouldn't be able to happen on cable. What I was thinking about though was like going in a direction sort of like what UFC did and make a reality show for it. Takes you through the life of a beruit competitor and how they train. I think that would be really fun to watch.

Beirut Reality Show (#22)

A reality show following the life and training habits of a championship Beirut player would have the potential to be the funniest show in history.  It could redefine Bill Simmons' unintentional comedy scale.
