The Newest American Gladiator Is Cuban

Just when anti-immigrant sentiment is at an all-time high, having become a priority issue for politicians, the newest induction to the top-rated show, “American Gladiator,” is Cuban. Swam-90-miles-to-Florida Cuban. As we continue to stand rigid in our stance of embargo against Cuban primarily because they are Communists, the Olympics are being held in the largest Communist country in the world. Hmm, me thinks something isn’t right here.

38-year-old Alex Castro is the mighty Militia, in true Marine Corps style: he barks orders at the contestants while flexing impressive biceps. Despite the small racy shorts he is wearing, he is scary. While he has years of formal acting school training, his military persona is not difficult, nor is it a persona.

Maybe this Castro should have taken over.  At least those exploding cigars would have been useless on his massive biceps.
