It'll get stopped. Has to. I mean, people aren't just mad at the guy - many folks think he's a racist murderer (perhaps quite rightfully so). If he doesn't get killed walking into the ring, or in the ring, someone will, maybe an innocent, will get killed with all the tension surrounding this. It'll get cut off at some point, likely very early on.
This is the best take I've read on this proposed fight: http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospect ... ing-match/

This line from the linked article is all that needs to be said about this:
Rembert Brown wrote:Every single person directly or peripherally associated with this fight is worthless. From the actors involved to the space that holds the event to the charity that accepts any money from the proceeds. Worthless.

I wouldn't hate on a charity, so long as they're doing charitable work and aren't influenced by the means.

The writer of the article should then be ashamed. He is an infamous celebrity type now due to media circus surrounding the trial.

Recovering from stomach flu, having a chance to catch up on some home projects. Just pulled some of my pottery from the kiln - this one is inspired by an African Horn Drum; serving dual purpose as a percussion instrument as well as horn. The horn part still needs a reed of sorts, so is pretty quiet now. I like sound of the drum thus far. I still need to glaze:

I've played a little in the beta. Which design problems are you worried about?
