Mariah Fights Inner Rage!
Mariah Carey recently admitted to radio listeners that she has discovered a way to relieve her inner rage. These days, the once-troubled diva takes out her aggression on a new pal: BOB.“Did you ever see that contraption they call BOB?” Carey asked New York’s Hot 97 radio host Angie Martinez. “It’s a heavy bag designed like a man. I have BOB set up in my basement with some nice gloves, and I release my anger. Every now and then, BOB gets a smack.”BOB, the Body Opponent Bag, is a lifelike “heavyweight” mannequin that fits on a free-standing base. BOB’s replica human torso and head feature realistic vital points such as the eyes, nose, throat, sternum and chest. When filled with water, the “plastisol” doll weighs 290 pounds.
“We are very honored that a superstar such as Mariah Carey is training with one of our products,” says Dan Bower, the president of Century Sporting Goods, the Midwest City, Oklahoma, company that makes BOB.
