Sporting names like Betty Clock-er, Digit Jones and Persian Princess, and tipping the scales at approximately 120 pounds and 5 feet 5 inches, the female fighters of the Toronto-based Pillow Fight League aren't particularly intimidating upon first glance.But, clad in short skirts, clingy leggings, midriff-bearing tank tops, and armed solely with a pillow, though, these fighters are a mystifying melange of sex appeal and strength.

I have no doubt that this will be the pinnacle of sportsmanship conduct and will be highly regarded and respected by the public.
Oogaba.

Are there rules determining pillow size, weight and content. Like say if I sleep with a pillow stuffed with buck shot, can I use said pillow?
Also, shouldn't they be required to wear pajamas? Or at least be nekkid?

Well, in the story and accompanying video, they use standard queen-size from the stores of that furniture-king dude in TO, and "loading" your pillow is against the rules.
And as a bizarre postscript, the pillow-fighting meme jumps across the Pacific Rim to serve as the ice-breaker in a mass-dating event in Shanghai.

This...is...awesome...

It's too bad Toronto smells so damn bad, or I might be inclined to check it out!

The red head in the video is hot in my opinion.

Yeah, this sport does not seem targeted at a heterosexual male audience. Much more a Rosie O'Donnel demographic. Unless the promoters are seeking into my natural heterosexual male curiosity about lesbians (who I deeply respect for all the right reasons), and some innate desire to see them fight each other with pillows (which, strangely, I am not that interested in).

Way too dorky. They ought to be wearing Anime T-shirts and slug it out with Kazumi hug pillows when they're doing that.

Going off on a tangent here, but I was thinking about netflixing the DVDs for this show. I figured, if I'm going to watch a show about relationships in the modern world, why bother watching one with dudes in it when you've got an all female alternative?
In my mind, they're hot and toned, between the ages of 21 and 24, and happy to dress up. Also, they look really hot beating the hell out of each other.
I like to think that my mind is a better place.

Because the one with dudes is better written and has more compelling characters. Seriously, Queer as Folk was an excellent show (although the last season felt a bit rushed). I would have never watched it if Luna hadn't decided we were going to, but I'm glad I did. She also decided to watch the L Word, but I just couldn't get interested (she says that the storytelling has improved since the first season, though). Strange as it may sound, pretty faces and hot bodies aren't enough to convince me to watch dozens of hours worth of TV. And at times when that is all I want to see, I'll watch porn, you know?

I was about to revoke your Man Card, until I read that last sentence. But for the time being, consider yourself on probation. One more violation and it's curtains and cosmetics for you, mister.
