Updated continuously by citizens like you, Newsvine is an instant reflection of what the world is talking about at any given moment.
Article Source: FOXNews.comMexican authorities say two professional wrestlers found dead in a low-rent hotel in the capital may have been drugged to death by female robbers.
Autopsies are being performed on the two midget wrestlers, one of whom went by the name "La Parkita" — or "Little Death" — and wore a skeleton costume in the ring. The other was known as "Espectrito Jr."
Authorities say two women were seen leaving the men's hotel room before the bodies were discovered.
How can you not seed something like this?
#1 - Fri Jul 3, 2009 2:46 PM EDTMy 20 year old says, this story has everything an article REALLY needs...
Midgets, wrestling, and prostitutes! How could that be improved?
(Except the thieves needed to be Transvestites from Mars)
Was this seeded from the Jerry Springer show?
This is not a SMALL crime by no means! Every TINY detail must be checked out at the crime scene.

LOL
the headline sound like somebody telling a joke, but somewhere in between the body and the punchline things went terribly wrong....
#3 - Fri Jul 3, 2009 4:21 PM EDTTwo people have been murdered. That's a tragedy and not something to joke about. The fact that they were little people doesn't make them less human. I'm sure their families are devastated.
#4 - Fri Jul 3, 2009 4:23 PM EDTAgreed, Zed...but, it is the combination of midgets, wrestling and prostitutes that make it an irresistable (double take) headline...
zed (is dead)
Yeah, if their families are reading Newsvine right now I've got to say....why are you reading Newsvine right now?
Yes, if I was a family member I would be devastated - my uncle, brother, father (?) was A) a wrestler and B) murdered while looking for some strange.
It appears that even death doesn't stop the ignorant prejudice and irrational scorn that some folks have against little people. These were two brothers. They have names, Alberto Jiménez and Alejandro Jiménez. They earned an honest living as entertainers. Their lives should be celebrated for the laughter and joy that they brought to thousands.
Prejudice and irrational? The Jiménez bros. are dead, MJ is dead, Farrah is dead, Billy Mayes is dead, Carl Mauldin is dead. And some day you and I will be dead, too. I don't care who laughs or cries. I'm dead.
And some day you and I will be dead, too. I don't care who laughs or cries.
Agreed, VD, we all die. We're all terminal. Do the Jiménez brothers know that unkind jokes are being made about them? Maybe. Maybe not. But how we deal with the dead, the respect or disrespect that we give to their memories, relfects on those of us who are living, our society, our values and our morals. It's a reflection of our value of human life. A lack of respect for the dead suggests that their lives had no meaning; no value. But every human life has value. That is why we should treat the death of every human being with honor.
Just wonderin' Zed, what's in this for you? A proud trumpetting of the human dignity? All right brah, but I'm keeping an eye on you.
"If you don't like something that I post, why don't you take your own advice and don't read it. Duhhh! And, why even take the time to comment on it? That makes no sense whatsoever"
You have reached the phenomena of apothesis.
Just wonderin' Zed, what's in this for you? A proud trumpetting [sic] of the human dignity?
Yeah, that's right. You are really quick.
All right brah, but I'm keeping an eye on you.
I'm flatered that you like my postings so much. Thanks for the compliment.
"If you don't like something that I post, why don't you take your own advice and don't read it. Duhhh! And, why even take the time to comment on it? That makes no sense whatsoever"
The exchange that I've had with others on this thread has been interactive and productive. So, what is the point that you are trying to make by inserting one of my comments from a completely different thread? It's nonsensical in this context.
You have reached the phenomena [sic] of apothesis [sic].
I assume you meant the "phenomenon of apotheosis". Another compliment. Thanks!
P.S. SB, how about you post a comment relevant to the seeded article?
Those women were amateurs. All the pros know that when drugging little people, you use the same dosage you would for a child. Else, people die and humorous headlines result.
#5 - Fri Jul 3, 2009 7:14 PM EDTHow do the authorities know they were fake hookers is my question....Unless they were female midget tag team wrestlers as seen on security camera
#6 - Fri Jul 3, 2009 8:21 PM EDTHow do you now it wasen't a fake wrestler and a real hooker,
other than some one got body slammed. Sounds like Vince is on to something new
to sell to the nut-zo public. WW007 The Grand screw tag teams.

#10 - Sat Jul 4, 2009 12:13 AM EDTI think you all really need to read the full article. It isn't funny like Zed-7 said. Put yourself in their family's shoes for once.
#11 - Sat Jul 4, 2009 2:58 AM EDTTH-1107542, do you think we could maybe get Billy Mayes to come back for one more annoying azzzzz commercial? Guess he would have to read the fine print this time around and not shout it out, Oxyclean vs. Oxycontin, a LITTLE bit louder. Maybe run the hookers in with the spin cycle to clean out the dizzying effects of that new machine he was supposed to have started hustling. He could have done an entire one hour segment of "Pitchmen" where he could have washed the hookers vs the little people and see which one's ended up cleaning up their act the best. Time for me to cheat on the rinse cycle to save a gallon of water. It might just seem like a LITTLE BIT of water to you but think about those poor people in Big City's all over the world. I think Mayes was going to add the Oxycontin to their water so they wouldn't have complained about it, or anything else for that matter. To bad about the Galluping Gaucho's. I wonder if they were really trying to get their freak on when the hookers burst into laughter and had to defend themselves, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
#12 - Sat Jul 4, 2009 3:26 AM EDTThe only element missing from this story, and I say this jokingly (although the situation itself is quite serious), is a monster truck. Then it would be the perfect start to a movie script.
#13 - Sat Jul 4, 2009 3:41 AM EDTNEWSFLASH - Sara Palin, Richardless Cheney, Newt "the Slimey Lizard" Gingrich and Rush "To the ER" Limbaugh are going to join forces to save California from financial irresponsibility. They are going to start their own tag team wrestling, or is it restling in their case, freak show to take on the road. I can see the headlines now i.e. "Newt's All Over Palin", Cheney "My Friends Call Me Dick" "So Do Those That Are Not My Friends". Rush "Hurry, Don't Rush Mehoff to the ER." Sarah, well, her family says it all folks. Maybe there was a Mexican standoff at her place in Alaska so she decided to step downs' as the GUV.
#14 - Sat Jul 4, 2009 3:41 AM EDTMaybe these two were a little short on cash? So the prostitutes cut em down.
#15 - Sat Jul 4, 2009 4:05 AM EDTI can understand midget wrestlers, but what's up with the fake prosties? How much money do those broads make being fake?
