Which is more reprehensible: Ultimate Fighting or Blogging?

"Lewis Black's The Root of All Evil" returns for a second season Wednesday with a steel-cage match of the intellects: Andrew Daly and Patton Oswalt dueling over which is the greatest insult to mankind, Ultimate Fighting or Bloggers.

"Ultimate fighting is nothing more than cockfighting with human as cocks," Daly argues. "We are watching post-apocalyptic entertainment without the benefit of having had an apocalypse." He then decries the fact that children follow Ultimate Fighters, showing a touching little film in which a dying Make-a-Wish kid asks an Ultimate Fighter to choke his opponent that evening with his own intestines.

Oswalt responds that the blather emanating from bloggers' brain leakage is more ill-considered than poo-flinging: "At least poo-flingers take into account wind velocity, aim and poo density," he harrumphs, and then he presents his own short film, in which blog commenters of 1776 are invited to comment on the Declaration of Independence. Sample comment: "Want some wig with your powder Jefferson, you Gaylord!"

You can guess who wins, or you can watch and find out. Future powerhouse debates this season include Disney vs. Scientology, steroids vs. boob jobs and strip clubs vs. sororities, genuine quandaries all.
