Reminds me of a Jimmy Buffet (fictional)story: Some entrepreneur opened a place opposite Disney where you could purchase an appropriately attired rodent. Then release it into a pit cage of hungry alley cats. Seems fathers that had just spent $10 grand to bring their family down to the \"attractions\" only to lug their sleeping prodigy around all day - somehow found this therapeutic.
When I was a Carnie (don\'t ask...) one of the regular attractions I saw were boy scout troops who bought junkyard cars, and then charged patrons $10 for 2 minutes beating on it with a sledgehammer. It was amazingly popular, and I think for the same reasons.
Wow Judge Dredd starts to come true. I think the building was called The Agro Dome. Citizens would pay to go in and beat up robots to releive boredom and stress.
Seriously smart idea, though I really hope they are recycling the stuff and not just filling our landfills even quicker (note this could be in the atricle, as I\'m too lazy right now to read the whole thing).
