Is your idea of "dressing up" an ensemble of jeans shorts, a wife-beater and high-top sneakers? Do you sport pecs like Amanda Beard and drive a shitty truck that advertisers your love for Dale Earnhrardt, Jr.?
If so, you're a perfect candidate to appear on psfights.com, a repository for fight videos of Americans so trashy Jerry Springer wouldn't return their calls.
You won't see any university buildings in the backdrop, no majestic skyscrapers, no thriving businesses. These brawls are held mostly in barren fields and empty parking lots, locales as desperate and hopeless as the people involved.
With several clips added daily, this voyeurism of violence apparently is quite popular. Here are some of the most interesting ones I've seen:
Bat Beatdown Mano-a-mano rules of engagement are broken when a third party enters. Madness ensues. Five-star rating if only for the clearly audible hick accents of the voices of reason.

Double Fight Listen to these heathens howling and yelling, "Break his neck!" while another worries about about more important matters. "Hey, off the car!"
Drunk Guy Gets Jumped Haha, your typical boozebag, couldn't-get-laid-so-now-I'm-pissed fight. I can only imagine what started this whole fracas. Maybe someone cut in line to pay for beef jerky or something. Anyway, this tall dude calls someone a bitch, then gets owned.

Pauly Shore's Best Work: VH1 Specials You know how you can rank an actor's films by rating on IMDB? Well, I checked Pauly's to see how his duds ranked. Pretty bad, as you can imagine. In fact, The Best of Jenny McCarthy Playboy video (at a palty 5.65) ranked better than just about anything he's done.

Mark Grace and Toby Harrah the Greatest Clutch Hitters of Our Generation An excerpt from a new Baseball Prospectus book examines whether David Ortiz is as clutch as his rep proclaims, lists the best career clutch ratings since 1972 and studies how much of an effect that quality has on a season.
Authorities Shut Down Sadomasochistic Dungeon Sometimes the lead paragraph is all you need: "At least six men traveled from across the nation and South America to have their genitals mutilated in what Haywood County authorities described as a sadomasochistic dungeon." (Thanks, Laurie)
Hockey League Shaken By Mom Who Shakes Boobs at Opposing Players/Fans The story is an oldie, but obviously a goodie. And a slutty. (Thanks, Larry)
