TruTV gets provocative after dark. At least, that is what a certain Charles Barkley was thinking when he opened his hilarious mouth after NCAA tournament play. 

March Madness is in full swing, and the glory that is Barkley is available to the masses in TV coverage. 

The CBS team includes the TNT Inside the NBA group of Barkley, Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith, and it has been just as wonderful as their weekly discussions on the NBA. 

As Johnson was about to throw it to break, he was tasked with giving some love to a show on truTV entitled Hardcore Pawns. 

I am guessing they were trying to dupe a few degenerates thumbing through the channels nightly. 

Well, they almost had Sir Charles who was absolutely giddy to sit back and watch some Hardcore Pawns. Which is exactly like porno, but for people that enjoy pawn shops and finding great deals on skeletons and shark suits. 

You see, Hardcore Pawns is unfortunately a show dedicated to the Gold family, owners of the biggest pawn shop in Detroit. 

Yes, this is exactly the kind of show that would have me question of owning a TV, but I can now understand where Barkley was going with this. 

When is Hardcore Pawns an awesome thing to watch? When it is something other than Hardcore Pawns—something very different indeed.
