They should have had people who are professional swordsmen and know the art do the test, you can bet your ass that a samurai wouldn't just go in hacking like an amateur. It's entertaining to watch sometimes, but I generally stay away from television in general, I feel my brain may go to goo if I watch too much of it -.-

Seriously though, isn't Deadliest Warrior the show where they try to analyze what a "warrior's" arsenal is, and then match them up against each other through some simulation, or silly-ass reenactment?

I fucking hate the history channel. All they do is stupid reenactments or hypothetical situations. There is no actual history there. Ancient Aliens? COMETHEFUCKON, DUDE. Shit's a joke.

It reminds me of that show where they had they would come up with two animals and try to determine who would win in a fight, then build robot facsimiles, and have them duel. What a crock of shit.
