Who interrupts my enjoyment of the Pants Off Dance Off marathon?

Facetiously refer to my "old friend" at your peril, hudsucker. After all, I'm the one who came to the good Herr Doktor's defense not too long ago. I never asserted that his movies were anything other than the celluloid embodiment of some ancient Sumerian curse, but he's hardly unique in that regard (*cough* Ratner *cough*).
Anyway, the big payoff to his mildly hyped Critics Challenge finally hit the internet tubes this week. Care to take a look?
Me neither. It's hardly a surprise that Boll - a man who felt BloodRayne didn't get the credit it deserved for giving us Kristianna Loken's boobs and talked about its franchise potential with nary a hint of irony - beat the shit out of these guys. He seriously thinks that pummeling his detractors somehow legitimizes his films, so of course he trained like a beast for this. Now that he can claim victory over the likes of Rich Kyanka and Jeff Sneider, I'm sure some part of him believes Dungeon Siege is safe from criticism.
As for those participants crying foul because Boll insisted on only fighting those with no boxing experience while he himself has an extensive pugilistic backround...it's Uwe Boll, people. He spun the whole thing as a "PR exercise" while secretly plotting to exert some of that unique Teutonic rage on a few of his many detractors. You'd have to be a fucking idiot to think this was anything less than an opportunity for sweet, sweet revenge.
I also have a boat I'd like to give them at my nondescript, city-owned building downtown, if they're interested.
What disturbs me the most is that you claim to enjoy Pants Off Dance Off. I first encountered that show a few months ago, and what I saw in a few brief minutes of viewing has haunted my dreams since. OK, maybe that’s a bit harsh, but lord it wasn’t good.
I thought the most disturbing thing about this whole affair is that he apparently plans to use footage of these fights in his next film.
Admit it Vonder Haar, you can’t wait.
