ESPN is covering a topless ping-pong tournament tonight?

I think most of us are familiar with the fact that ESPN is owned by Disney. That naturally means that ESPN tends to tow the line of being relatively "family-oriented" and doesn't exactly push the envelope.

Well, that's what I thought, until I saw the poster above.

The Las Vegas based Sapphire Gentlemen's Club, which is the world's largest gentlemen's club, is hosting Ping Pong Palooza tonight, which is best described as a topless stripper competition where women face off in singles and doubles matches. As the poster says "Come watch the topless stripper competition."

So naturally I was surprised to see in the right hand corner of the poster an ESPN logo, you know, because ESPN doesn't usually cover stuff like this. Mickey tends not to approve of strip clubs. But if you look real close, it says "ESPN - Live on Air Remote During the Event." That term, "live on air remote" is a relatively familiar broadcast phrase that suggests ESPN will be there to broadcast or hype the event in some way.

You can also find the poster on Sapphire's home page, with the ESPN image and wording, so it's not photoshopped. Naturally you can't find anything on the internet about ESPN's role in this event other than the poster. I would assume Sapphire is just trying to capitalize on the The Leader's name, but I find it odd that someone at ESPN hasn't noticed it yet - since I'm sure Stuart Scott's on the site at least 5 times a day.

Anyway, I have no problem with ESPN doing this - if it's actually true - and hopefully we can all find the broadcast, be it radio or TV. Let's hope it's true, because having this event and ESPN come together is perfect, considering The Leader has been involved in multiple sexual harassment cases.

Either way I'm sure Sean Salisbury will be there.

It's a damn shame H.R. won't be covering this one.

What an odd idea for a televised event. Trashy might actually be a better way to put it.

"On-Air Remote" means a local ESPN radio station will be there for a couple hours. They won't broadcast anything except for a DJ cutting into a broadcast for 60 seconds saying where they are and what's going on like "we're at the titty bar for a ping pong game. come by to get an ESPN tshirt and dollar beers" or something like that

It's going to appear on the Mayne Event.

Either that, or Stu Scott is about to have a Swingers moment.

The Las Vegas ESPN Radio affiliate (which airs local programming from 1-7 p.m. weekdays, FWIW) does live remotes from titty bars all the time. Not just break-ins either -- their MNF pregame show is live from the Olympic Garden, I believe, and they've done other such live shows from similar locations. As they say, anything goes here. I guess Bristol hopes that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

I stand corrected -- the MNF pregame show is live from the Orleans, where the titties are (barely) covered. But one of their afternoon hosts does host a "party" every Monday night at the Olympic Gardens. Either way, it's got the taint of taint on ESPN.

So did anyone here make it out to watch some table tennis at the club the other night?

That's a nice screen shot of the Palooza event. I really like the borders of the image. Is that called a beveled edge?

If I'm correct, the next Ping Pong Palooza or topless stripper competition won't be for another year.
