I found this on <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/books/03/17/review.book.savage.reut/index.html" title="CNN">CNN</a>,
Here is an insert. Click on <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/books/03/17/review.book.savage.reut/index.html" title="CNN">CNN</a> link for entire story.
<i>"The bad news is that audiences apparently still enjoy watching other people die in horrible ways," writes literary scholar Harold Schechter in "Savage Pastimes: A Cultural History of Violent Entertainment." "The good news is that we are willing to settle for simulations -- and relatively tame ones at that."</i>

The "Govern-a-tor" warned us about this type of entertainment years ago with his "time-travel" documentary... "The Running Man." Remember?
