Ocean of Notions Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It still needs government oversight.But from when did government become the authority on entertainment? Again, look at C-Span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 C-Span isn't supposed to be entertaining. C-Span is supposed to faithfully convey what the legislative branch is like. The legislative branch is arcane, useless and boring. C-Span is arcane, useless and boring. I submit to you that they do their jobs perfectly.

The Evil Hat Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Well, seeing as executions are Bloody, Fun, and Just, we should have great ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Oop North Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Well, it is obvious that the free market will naturally provide the most efficient method of administering the death penalty. I'm sure we'll see schtick and gillette competing and thriving in the potential guillotine market. It is only a matter of time before the five-bladed guillotine three turbo is released, making half-headings and mass guillotine execution bottlenecks a thing of the past.

Inigima Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 The public loves sport. What if we mandate participation in some sort of Rollerball-type scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Oop North Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It'll help curtail obesity.Not to mention spur R&D in roller-technology. Finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Well, it would only help curtail obesity in the criminal population. I don't think we want that -- if anything, we want criminals to be the obese people. It's pretty hard to steal shit when your top speed is 0.3 miles per hour.Maybe the Rollerball thing isn't such a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Oop North Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yeah, perhaps we should stick to MXC-style challenges with a high frequency of injury and maiming, or epic hot-dog eating contests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I dunno, man. You never see fat people doing MXC.What if we just make them eat until they die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Oop North Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Sort of like the Food Network meets the Running Man, maybe? I like your creativity, but I really do think that we need to stick with sure-fire winner entertainment standbys like deathsports and deathraces and deathcourses. Such things are assured ratings hits, and they are also less offensive to the malnourished poor of America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I notice all of your proposals are in the format "deathxxxx." Would your concerns be allayed if we called it "deatheating," or possibly "deathfeeding" to avoid a lawsuit from J.K. Rowling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord of Oop North Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 They do say that branding is an art form. I believe that works, yes.Besides, I don't want them criminals eating MY food.The food used for deatheating(feeding) could be grown by criminal chain gangs?

Ocean of Notions Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'm disgusted and appalled. Only people living in the affluent comforts of the first world would come up with an execution method by overeating. I think we need to stick conservation friendly, greener methods.

Sorry, but we are unique snowflakes, and that sounds suspiciously like long-haired-freaky-people hippy talk. In the new America, long-haired-freaky-people will be executed by long-hair guillotine amputation.This is at odds with our stated goal of immediate execution.Ah, quite right.

Ocean of Notions Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'm just suggesting that we should look towards more progressive and efficient methods of execution. Such wanton wastefulness is more than unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxter Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It almost goes without saying that the penalty should be abolished. The potential for a miscarriage of justice is simply too grave. Take, for example, that ludicrous scenario involving Ghana at World Cup 2010 - the Uruguayan guy should clearly have been sent off and a goal instantly awarded, without need for a penalty. :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
