USA TODAY ran a story a while back about adult dodgeballers, so this is a growing trend.  However, GSN is once again ever so slightly behind the curve.  A Ben Stiller movie ridiculing the concept will be out on June 18.

The trailer for the Ben Stiller/Vince Vaughn movie "Dodgeball" can be found here. (http://\"http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/\") There's also an extended clip of the actors talking in character about the situations in the movie.

Next for GSN...Extreme Kickball! Mega Hide and Seek! Death Tag!

Random thoughts:

- Sadly enough, I'm sort of excited about seeing what they come up with for Dodgeball on GSN.

- I'm not too interested in the movie, however -- I liked Baseketball, I knew Baseketball, Basketball was a friend of mine... Dodgeball is not going to be another Baseketball.

- Speaking of adapting school games to game shows, does anyone think WinTuition would have been better if they had just licensed Milton-Bradley's Go To The Head of The Class?

- Forget Mega Hide and Seek.  I'm holding out for the $1,000,000 Celebrity Red Rover.

 I'm glad I'm not the only one to think of that. It certainly couldn't have hurt.
