THE FIRST RULE OF PILLOW FIGHT CLUB IS GET AS MUCH MEDIA ATTENTION AS POSSIBLE

Since hockey isn’t quite captivating American viewers, Canadians have created the next professional sports league to take over the world. Get ready for the Pillow Fight League (PFL) which made it’s U.S. debut in New York last week after building up a cult following in Canadian bars over the past year or so. According to their press release the Pillow Fight League “leads the way as the most exciting and innovative new wave in sports entertainment.” Uh-huh... The league boasts the catchy slogan “Fight Like A Girl” and employs 22 women brawlers with names such as Sally Spitfire and Boozy Suzy. Official PFL rules call for five minute bouts which can be won by pitfall, surrender, referee-stoppage or judges decision. The rules also allow punching, leg drops, clotheslines, submission holds (as long as a pillow is used to execute the attacks) but has banned all the stuff men usually want to see when watching a catfight, including eye-gouging, biting, scratching, hair-pulling, low blows, and (I’m guessing here) french-kissing. Also, loading a brick into the bottom of your pillow is strictly prohibitied. Check out the next bouts or join the league at GoPLF.com.
