I was watching MMA with some friends, and the fight ring had a couple of ladies prominently placed behind the announcer while all the speaking was going on, and the ladies were diligently shifting their position to stay centered in the frame with their logoed … shirts?

> [@Chronos](#): > > Wow, that’s disappointing. I was expecting some sort of humanoid water elemental, or possibly a waterbender, from Fiji, not an ordinary mundane human hawking Fiji brand water.
