"Ex-Fat Kids and Bullies" Alike

Ah, the revival of a classic! No, I'm not talking about the new Coco Avec Chanel, but would like to direct your attention to a comical, congenial, not-remotely-PC video featured on http://www.good.is/ in the section dedicated to Wild Frontiers of Sport. I constantly and thoroughly enjoyed playing dodgeball during my childhood (even through highschool!) so the games at McCarren Park Pool look like good fun. Much appreciated is the Olympic apparel (just watch it) and... shirtless Tom. The "historical" segments that begin the video are handled with typical deftness by the editors at Good, and the video effortlessly and humorously conveys the counter-culture, fun 'n sun atmosphere of this Brooklyn renaissance. As this post's title reminds us, dodgeball is enjoyed by, um, everyone!
