I found this on CNN,
Here is an insert. Click on CNN link for entire story.
"The bad news is that audiences apparently still enjoy watching other people die in horrible ways," writes literary scholar Harold Schechter in "Savage Pastimes: A Cultural History of Violent Entertainment." "The good news is that we are willing to settle for simulations -- and relatively tame ones at that."

The "Govern-a-tor" warned us about this type of entertainment years ago with his "time-travel" documentary... "The Running Man." Remember?

Yeah, that would be pretty cool to have a gameshow like that. |
