 Bodog
Founder Calvin Ayre
Ranked Among Top 5
Cartoon Characters
of All TimeGambling911.com's Cuban transgender reporter Sparky Collins, who is in preparation for his much anticipated photo shoot in Miami Beach this coming weekend, has a secret. He loves comic books. "My favorite would have to be Spider-man and the way he clings to walls and moves from building to building with super human speed and his spider-shaped adhesive homing bacons keyed to his own sick sense," Sparky tells us. His other favorite comic strip characters: Snoopy, Bugs Bunny, Speed Racer and Bodog Founder, Calvin Ayre. Calvin beat Superman? Based on real people, AYRE FORCE reveals the hidden activities and past of Bodog's billionaire founder, Calvin Ayre, as he leads a covert operations unit composed of Bodog Music artists Bif Naked, Jason Darr and Nazanin; Bodog Fight mixed martial artists Tara LaRosa, Jorge Masvidal and Trevor Prangley; and Bodog Poker players Evelyn Ng, David Williams and Josh Arieh. "It's sort of like Batman," Sparky explains. "There is the Joker(Jorge Masvidal), the Cat Woman (Tara LaRosa), the Penguin (Josh Arieh) and the Poker Pro Granny Toe Sucker (David Williams)." Ayre and the AYRE FORCE have been engaged in a years-long war with pharmaceutical magnate Janus Winter, attacking the illegal operations of Wintercorp all over the globe. Sparky, who escaped Communist Cuba by intertube more than 10 years ago, believes that Janus Winter could actually be based on Republican Presidential candidate John McCain. McCain in the past has attempted to ban both college sports betting and Mixed Martial Arts - two activities that have helped to make Bodog Life a successful enterprise. Now, Janus has upped the ante by unleashing his genetically engineered, superhuman children on Calvin and his team, intending to put an end to the war between the AYRE FORCE and Wintercorp once and for all!
But how could someone relatively new to the comic scene move ahead of the legendary Superman? "He (Superman) was faster than a speeding bullet," says Sparky. "So am I! Also, Dean Cain, I think he may be gay." Gambling911.com should disclose that Ayre paid for Sparky's beautiful pink floral sun dress. Maybe that's why he beats Superman. Or Sparky is trying to get into the comic strip. --- Payton O'Brien, Gambling911.com Senior Editor POBrien@CostiganMedia.com
