With parents not minding their kids playing incredibly violent video 
games I wonder if a public execution would be dramatic enough to 
compete with a regularly scheduled cop show or Grand Theft Auto. I 
might recommend a firing squad with instant replay. Closeups of the 
weapons as well as the Discovery Health channel doing the autopsy on 
the firing range. A public hanging is too tame for current viewers. I 
guarantee it would appear as a front page article in the National 
Rifle Association's magazine. Everyone gets a piece. It's a sure 
thing. I recall Phil Donohue petitioning the correctional system to 
allow him to broadcast an execution. That was before the computer 
games, though.

We could even get that afterlife guy to do a play by play of the 
convict's soul on it's way to Hell. Thing big, guys. This is show biz.

Having spent 20 years in New York City I'm convinced laws are just 
official suggestions (except those dealing with rent increases). 
Every single stop sign in the city is defective. Traffic lights are 
Christmas decorations left up all year round. They make the city 
really pretty during a snowstorm or when the streets are wet and the 
colors reflect in the water.
