12. Give them Bread and Circuses and they will give the multi billion dollar owners....

....free coliseums and sports stadiums for even more Bread and more Circuses.

Fuck the gladiators they are the cannon fodder for the multi million dollars games of human brutality and glorious macho alpha male entertainment.

Let the games begin and never stop,.. the more blood and injury the better just pass the societal cost to someone else and have them pick up your tab for your sadistic entertainments and joys.

Hold my beer,.. watch this body slam as I toss this midget to the other side of the room and bounce him off the opposite wall.

We are here to excite and entertain,.. what good wholesome American fun.

Let's bring back bull goring fights, cock fights, and dog fights,.. the entertainment industry has certainly earned its rightful place in a free capitalist society. Supply and demand,.. they beg for blood,.. we deliver without hesitation,... because a free market economy is sacrosanct and paramount and the American way.
