Internet ankle-biters got their wish when Barbi Blank was caned by the Sandman, but even after taking this insane bump her numerous cyber-detractors are still crying for her blood.

The Sci-Fi channel message board has an actual anti-Kelly thread filled with hateful invective. These “fans”, whose average age is around 32 as has been reported before, are unhappy with the performance of the 19 year old Barbie Blank, the actress who plays Kelly Kelly. The crux of their complaints, one discovers as they attempt to read through the ravings of almost middle-aged adolescents is that she’s not a particularly talented stripper.

You’ve read that correctly, the posters on the anti-Kelly thread are angry because a teenager can’t shake it like the coked-up high-school dropouts that work in the local titi … I mean “Gentlemen’s club.” Yes, there are several problems here.

1. She’s a teenager.
2. The people posting are not.
3. Barbie Blank can’t strip because she’s not a stripper.
4. The posters are unlikely to be qualified to judge Barbie’s stripping in any case.

It seems many on the post believe that the Kelly’s expose segments are a waste of time … yes the two minute segments are wasting their time. You know, because we E.C.W. fans and Sci-Fi viewers are such busy people with so much to do like watching wrestling, posting to message boards at 1:45 am, updating our blogs, etc.

Can Kelly dance? No, but so what? The ugly truth is that Kelly’s segments are as close to seeing stripping as most of the viewer’s who post on the Sci-Fi board will get. And frankly, as anyone whose been to a strip club will tell you, most strippers can’t dance per se, but they are hot. Stripping isn’t ballet, it’s about seeing some skin, handing over a dollar and going home alone. At least Kelly’s expose is free.

Besides, Barbie Blank doesn’t book the show. Calling her a “hoe” (I assume they mean ho) because they’d rather see some ‘rasslin’ is just childish. Or it would be childish if it wasn’t more likely than not coming from someone old enough to be her father, at that point it becomes unseemly.

Hey, I’m not a fan of her dancing either, but that doesn’t mean I’m not a fan. Those moments in a show that don’t work can be as entertaining as those that do. The Kelly segments, like them or not, are at this point the most memorable parts of the new E.C.W.

Besides, she’s just a kid, give her break.
