8. WWE Pretends Women Are Covered In Poop Without Actually Saying It
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDbxKHhotus Vickie Guerrero's farewell segment was actually a tremendously executed pro wrestling angle. WWE did an amazing job turning Vickie babyface, Stephanie McMahon showed why she's one of the best non-wrestler performers in the business, and while there was a bit of embarrassment for Vickie, she was triumphant in the end. There was just one problem: The handling of the vat of...stuff that the women tried to throw each other into. The inflatable pool is obviously filled with butterscotch pudding. That's exactly what it looks like. Yet, for some reason, Stephanie talked about how disgusting and foul-smelling it was, while the announcers reinforced her statements about just how disgusting the pool was. The implication was, seemingly, that it was some kind of excrement. Nobody actually comes out and says it. But the implication is clearly that these women are trying to throw each other into some kind human or animal waste product. Why? Ask Vince McMahon.
