Lingerie Bowl canceled, then renewed, then canceled again

God has offered us another conflicting sign that depending on who you ask, he either loves and respects us or is punishing us for doing something really, really bad. Check which chromosome they are carrying before you ask. Lingerie Bowl VI, that pay-per-view hotbed of halftime entertainment for lonely fantasy football players with too much time and money on their hands, lost their first venue in Florida awhile back. Then, the doomed franchise rose from the ashes like a mighty phoenix when the league's owners found a new venue at a nudist colony in Tampa.
But just as that majestic phoenix spread its flaming wings and took to the skies once again, someone blasted it with a fire extinguisher. The game has been canceled for the second straight year because of a dispute with their new venue.
The Lingerie Bowl is without clothes, dignity and a venue

If part of your Super Bowl plans consisted of watching the Lingerie Bowl on pay-per-view at halftime, then first of all find a girlfriend immediately and secondly, think again. The St. Petersburg Times reports that the owners of the four-years-young full contact football floozy-off lost their playing field in the zero hour.
This, of course, is a double whammy for the Lingerie Bowl organizers who had to cancel last year's game and hoped to make their big comeback with Super Bowl XLIII. They've also got less than three weeks to find a new venue, or the tears of hundreds of thousands of very, very, very lonely men will evaporate into sorrow vapor, form into a sadness cloud and create a tribulation hurricane the likes of which we have never seen.
