This may be a drastic comparison but I'm rather reminded of the fact that the ancient Romans watched prisoners get eaten alive by wild animals, as a sport. Then again, I remember visiting the circus as a kid. That kind of 'live' entertainment is unparalleled by television, cinema and the information age. On a related note, the magician act seems to be rapidly dying out as well. But perhaps today's kids have more sophisticated tastes as well? 321964@desicritics.org Wed, 20 Feb 2008 02:55:49 EST
