The Rock Paper Scissors Movement Continues!

by RD Heldenfels on January 20, 2006

in Sports, Television

Hello to everyone who is here because of the link from www.tvtattle.com. (And thanks, Tattle, for linking to my late-night ravings about "Lost," found below under "Ladies and Gentlemen, M.C. Gainey.") Feel free to browse.

But in this post, I am going to another topic. About a year ago, I wrote a column about an FSN special showcasing a Rock Paper Scissors tournament. Yes, you read that right. And it was eerily fascinating television, applying all the cliches of sportscasting to an event you wouldn't usually think of as a made-for-TV sport. I could not find the column in the Beacon Journal's online archive but there was a blogger who saved it. (Note, the blog contains some strong language.) You can read it by going here and scrolling down to the section titled "Reaching A New Low."

Anyway, it appears that isn't the end of RPS on TV. Check out this story (which I found on TV Tattle,  by the way): A&E/RPS.

The press release from the RPS organization behind this event is here.
