Bread and Circuses

I can't really put my finger on why this is so utterly nauseating, but it is. Maybe it's because life and death shouldn't be a spectator sport. Maybe because there are no consolation prizes – you don't even get a case of Turtle Wax, you just die. Or maybe it's just because it illustrates the utter whoredom of the entertainment industry. But for whatever reason, I lose my appetite at the idea that they're actually going to air it.
