Texas to Televise Executions Live on Pay-Per-View

Wouldn't put it past them though

Thanks for the heads up.

Makin' me read, and what not.

This is a satirical site.

Although, when I saw the headline I did do a face palm and said, ' now, what else?'

becomes tomorrow's reality all too easily. I would never put this past the imbeciles who run Texas.

Frankly, I could see the crazies in Texas jumping for joy and being ecstatic over the thought.

Hmmm - wonder if Perry will take this up as a reality showtime? Man is freaky enough.

I read it as real for the few sentences.
Nothing surprises me ...much....anymore, esp. re: Texas and Fla. politics.

So you can relive, so to speak, your favorite moments as often as you wish in stunning high definition video in the privacy of your home theater.

what I think of Texas. That's scary.

Then maybe we'd stop doing it altogether.

The gorier you make them, the more popular they will be. Everyone here's seen some combination of Life of Brian, Logan's Run, The Running Man and Idiocracy - all movies that have a public execution component. (You could also throw the Death Race series in there.) And we all know about Roman gladiators. The nastier and more brutal the executions are, the more people watch and the more executions they will demand.

To get rid of executions, pass a law requiring the entire jury including alternates to attend the execution, and for one of the members of the active jury, chosen at random, to serve as the executioner. Would you as a "reasonable member of society" choose to end the life of another person if that choice meant you might have to kill him yourself?
