If executions of criminals were broadcasted, live, would that not be a marvellous way of making them pay some of their debt to society? Imagine the ratings! All profits to charity of course. For those being innocent but still being executed, there must be some consolation for them in knowing that something good is coming of it all. It is expensive to keep someone on death row for years, even if they are young. Especially if they are both very young AND mentally ill. How about it Texas?

Hell, why don't we just reinstitute the gladitorial games and start feeding atheists to the lions?

I think I could take a lion. How much would you guys pay to watch?

Great, Caesar Georgus I presiding over a gladiatorial stadium in Texas where opponents are feed to lions. Back to the Roman era, hurray for progress.

The Advertizing, that's where the real money is!

Ten bucks to watch, and a twenty dollar bet on the lion. :D

Due to budget cuts to gladiator budget, all swords will made from polystrene to combat lions. Made in China of course. And due to the cost of maintaining lions, feral cats will be used instead.

Come now, bring on the flames!

So basically what we've got is me beating a housecat with a Nerf sword? Somehow I pictured something a little more epic.

I do have my own sword, maybe I could go find a lion...

No, i like the idea of you beating cats with a Nerf Sword, kinda has a twist to it :D

If I got a double bladed Nerf sword and fought an army of cats it might live up to my expectations. Otherwise I don't think we'd capture the Pay-Per-View audience.

You could use a lion with the Coca-Cola logo on it.

Why not take a group of prisoners, stick them in a sewer and tell them they can't come out until it shines? A service for society and punishment for the prisoners without anyone lopping their heads off.

Or throw them into a pit of Coke, where they slowly dissolve over a thousand years.

Ohhh I want a nerf axe or maybe a nerf poleax

That would be awesome …

And I have a housecat to contribute too! He is um … ferocious (is that the right word for a 11 year old cat that likes to cuddle and meow a lot?)

A Star Wars lion! Have a guy dressed as Chewbacca fighting a lion dressed up as Jabba the Hutt - with one of those crappy plastic lightsabers, of course.

Crappy plastic lightsabres covered in a sticky layer of Coca-Cola residue, of course.

No, we wouldn't want to scare the lion off, would we?

Other cool nerf weapons...

Nerf Nunchucks
Nerf Ballista (fires one of those swimming pool noddles at high speed)
Pretty much any large object made of foam firing at high speeds actually.

But they got to hold still long enough for me to hit lol

JOINS YOU IN OUR BLOOD BATH (note I think the cats will win hence our blood bath)

Hah, I've got an elastic band gun!

Yeah I can't really see a Nerf sword drawing blood. Hope you're dead on with those Nerf boulders.

Cant see a nerf boulder doing much more (not with the size that would fit on my catapult)

And not sure of my accuracy … things as big and puffy as that … if any sort of wind…

I have caused some nasty welts in my foam fighting league.

Ohhh I got some of those gigantic newspaper rubber bands! They could probably take out a cat! (they would take out mine I am pretty sure)

I got some elastic bands :)

We could team up!

Cool, I reckon I could get a cat with a big elastic band even if it was moving, beween us we might be able to hold them off! I'm not sure how well we'd do against that coca cola lion though....

Do you mean an actual lion made from Coca-Cola or just a corporate sponsored lion?

I'd prefer the first as it wouldn't keep it together in a fight - it'd get all fizzy.

Left a bit....right....right, right! Fire! Great, here's another elastic band son.

The Empire of Presidency has already implimented such a law and it is working wonders.

How do they get executed?
