Well-known pet owner Michael Vick has been sentenced to 23 months in prison for a laundry list of felonies associated with a dog fighting ring he was convicted of financing. Vick, 27, had been facing a maximum sentence of five years.

Vick also agreed to pay more than $900,000 for the care of dozens of pit bulls seized from his Virginia home.

It is still unknown whether or not the criminally violent ex-Atlanta Falcon will ever be allowed to return to the field and smash into other men for the amusement of others.

Not that we attend dog fights, nor do we sympathize with dog fighters, but we have trouble believing that dog fighting "burns the human spirit and kills all the humanity inside you." Dog fighting is a bummer, alright, but, as Sterohyped points out, so is a hypocrite who spouts hyperbole while his ex-wife parades around New York in fur coats obtained with his money.

The results are in, and according to Mollygood's intense sociological polling, the majority of you would rather have people believe you support your child's Nazism (Adolf Hitler, 239 votes) than have people believe you support their interest in Perez Hilton (232 votes), Chris Crocker (28 votes) or Michael Vick (72 votes).
