This is going be really quick since I’m crazy busy today, so there’s only one topic. I just wanted to chime in on this latest internet trend (or should I, keeping with the rasslin’ parlance of my title, call him an internet phenom?): Casey Heynes, the Zangief Kid.

I really prefer Zangief Kid to Casey “The Punisher” Heynes, but all the great pro wrestlers have multiple monikers, so I guess it doesn’t really have to be a one or the other situation.

Anyhow, for those of you who are not familiar with the events, video is here, for those of you who prefer strange Taiwanese re-enactments of news events, you can see that also, here.

So here’s how I imagine this whole thing went down, Casey is a little on the tubby side and is probably picked on all the goddamned time, this little kid is probably a “cool” kid who likely picks on Casey on an almost daily basis. Scrawny kid probably feels like this will be the sort of thing that years from now he will want to reminisce about the “good ole days” of picking on Casey, he’ll probably even want to tell his kids about what a standup little fellow he is. Why rely on simply TELLING your kids though, why not video the whole thing, throw it up on the internet and save it forever. Nothing is better than public humiliation right? ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
