Wow. Thanks for the link. I have a loving pit, so by nature I am anti-Mike Vick and other ass-clowns like him.

I'm new around here, so maybe I don't get the joke about this handle.

But I don't particularly find it funny to make light of the pain -- physical and emotional -- that these dogs have been through.

Quite true

Nor is it funny to patronize and attempt to mimic Michael Vick in such a way. It seems you are portraying him as an ignorant black man who speaks with horrible grammar using "ghetto" slang.

Agreed. Whoever is behind the Vick "persona", please stop. It's not funny.

Perhaps "portraying" is the wrong verb?

Agreed. Mods....this person should be banned. His humor is not funny nor appreciated.

Uh, sorry but Vick is an ignorant black man (not because he's black though). He didn't even graduate college. Hell, if it wasn't for sports you know he probably wouldn't have been able to get into college. The guy has now been busted for dog fighting in addition to other things (ie, Ron Mexico). Sorry, he deserves any heat he gets.

If you're asking if I meant that if someone doesn't go to college they must be ignorant the answer is nope. That's not what I think. It wasn't meant as a slight against anyone that didn't go to college. My point about him going to college was that it can't be used as something to proclaim that he isn't ignorant, especially considering he was an athlete and athletes are notorious for receiving special treatment in college. It was just a preemptive statement. The guy's track record speaks for itself: dog fighting, giving a girl herpes, having friends that sold drugs (supposedly without his knowledge) out of his car...and you can bet there were other incidents that were cleaned up by someone from his team. The guy deserves no sympathy.

there's a special place in hell for those who torture animals. I think it dehumanizes me to think like this, but i hope he is sodomized viciously, brutally and repeatedly during his time in prison.

What's best is how the stupidity runs in the damn family.

That's cool. I agree that he's got a track record that doesn't really lend itself to sympathy. He deserves the punishment that he's gotten. And it's really hard to argue that he hasn't been ignorant in the lifestyle choices that he has made.

The whole "Michael Vick" screenname with the purposely bad grammar is in pretty poor taste, though. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned before now.
