Plastic Chairs Injured At Australian Open
Although I refuse to watch tennis unless it's Wimbledon and I'm sitting on my couch in my underwear on the 4th of July weekend, I was pretty excited when someone promoted this clip as a "near riot" happening outside the Australian Open.
My disappointment level, however, couldn't be greater. That's a fight? Throwing plastic chairs at each other from 10 yards away? Sheesh. I've cleared the bar at Frilly's with more violence than that.
And what's up with the fat man in the yellow shirt? He can shut down the whole fight just by raising his hand? He should have just held up one of those "Quiet" signs you see at a golf tourney -- I think the hooligans would have run away at the sight of it.
