Pro Wrestlers Against Bullying?
http://www.tnawrestling.com/news/item/2246-TNA-Launches-Anti-Bullying-Campaign

TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION (TNA) WRESTLING LAUNCHES ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGN

Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling wants to put a headlock on bullying, an epidemic that has gripped the U.S. for decades, but has recently gained national attention this fall with its link to a number of teen suicides.

TNA officials today announced TNA’s “Eliminate the Hate” campaign, aimed at ending bullying of all kinds.

TNA Wrestling is implementing a massive marketing effort for their “Eliminate the Hate” campaign. PSAs will be featured on TNA programming, including its Thursday night line-up on Spike (TNA iMPACT! and ReAction/ 9pm-12am ET). In addition, spots will be placed on all other TNA Wrestling platforms, including their website (www.tnawrestling.com), DVDs and all social networking sites including Facebook® and Twitter®.

TNA is also working closely with the hit Sirius XM® primetime show, Derek & Romaine, as well as other Sirius XM® programs, and with broadcast partner Spike, who will air the PSAs across their network.

What? They don't want any competition? :rofl:

Seriously, though...at least it is a good message, even if it is just a publicity stunt and comes surrounded by a contrary message!

And they are doing this on D&R? If the rednecks only knew!

1. I don't follow wrestling but is Mick Foley in TNA?
He was on the Daily Show promising to hurt anyone who went after a fifth grader who was showing tolerance of gays or something... Let me find it...

I wonder if Mick had anything to do with it. :)

2. Yes, he is in TNA now
That's how I found out about it!

Mick Foley (aka Cactus Jack/Mankind/Dude Love) will be on "The Daily Show" tonight (Nov 10, 2010), I presume, to push this as well as his book!
