Right now, I'm working on a TV pilot for called "The Deadliest Warrior". It's basically a show where they're going to take two warriors and pit them against each other and see who would win. They're going to test the strength of armor and weapons, put all that info into a computer and have the computer be the judge. Then there's going to be a final showdown between the two warriors. The pilot episode is going to be a Ninja vs. a Spartan. We found our Spartan but we're having trouble finding a Ninja. We're looking for someone Asian, over 18, has great martial arts skills (preferably Ninjitsu) and has great camera presence. If you know anyone or if you're able to post this on your site please have people contact me at ninjavspartan@gmail.com.

I just wanted to emphasise part of the above. wtf?

The show is going to be part of Spike TV's new reality TV lineup. Variety reports on it here:

LOL, that's pretty funny.

You know you can never find a ninja. If you could, they wouldn't be a real ninja!

HTF did they find a Spartan? It's just a sad sack who likes wearing black underpants and a red cloak, let's be honest!

Are you sure they said Spartan and not Trojan...maybe they are going to see if a Ninja can punch his way out of a condom.

[sanjuro_ronin]

Of course they can't find a Ninja !
HELLLOO !!!
If he is any good, he can't be found !
DUH !

typically, the show wouldn't actually air, because the ninja would kill the spartan while he slept.

"Hey look a spartan! Let's see if he's into fighting a ninja on tv for money and the sake of lowbrow entertainment!"

mmmmm premise.
