Gladiators with oversized forks. Boxers with oversized shorts. Rugby players with frighteningly deformed ears. Throughout history, man has pitted himself against his fellow man and cheered as limbs were ripped from limb and teeth flew like confetti at a wedding. Given our general lack of buffness, however, geeks have never got in on the act. Until now.
Today, with tongue firmly in cheek, metaphors at the ready and whimsy mode set to 'on', we're pitching the top celebrities of the technology world against each other. Kevin Rose, founder of digg, takes on Rob Malda, founder of Slashdot. Web entrepreneurs Jason Calacanis and Dave Winer will fight to the blog-loving death. Who will live to tell the tale?
Microsoft bigwig Steve Ballmer takes on Google boss Eric Schmidt. Even Rupert Murdoch is here, set to beat the living daylights out of Mark Zuckerberg, the young whippersnapper who conjured up Facebook. Can an ageing tycoon mutilate a scruffy 20-something upstart? You're about to find out.
Come and witness the torment, the Superpoking, the abuse of firehoses and the unstoppable mass of sheer Ballmer. Can Linux defeat Windows? Can digg conquer Slashdot? Can midgets enter the Olympics? Almost all these questions are about to be answered in the most unlikely series of rumbles since Battletoads.
