The UFC is challenged

Considering the immense amount of sponsors* currently supporting ultimate fighting -- the straightfoward "Cage Gear," the scary and ambiguous "Hostility," the scarier and a little more direct Pain INC -- I shouldn't have been surprised with the latest addition.

Manumission Skin Care touts itself as "Skin Care for Men Who Get it Done." Clearly, it's made for the GRIZZLY BEAR** in all of you.

And it's got a name that literally has no meaning. It's not even punny. The closest thing it could possibly be referring to is "submission," or a set of grappling moves used in mixed martial arts and wrestling alike to attempt to force the opponent into throwing in the towel.

But after staring at the word for a good 30 minutes, I still couldn't figure out why they would combine MAN with SUBMISSION and get MANUMISSION.

Then I decided to Wikipedia search for Manumission.

Which is when I came to the realization that the UFC just might actually be retarded. 

No where on the Manumission website or Facebook does it mention the racist*** history of this term. 

In fact, they provide a pretty paltry definition considering the centuries of Black mistreatment actually supporting their namesake. 

People who support this level of brutish stupidity are one level above the intelligence found in a pair Corona bottle-opening sandals**** -- a metaphor (at least half of which) most of these bros will understand.
