Don’t worry about it too much. It’s on Its way. We have some of the foundational elements, shows like COPS, Judge Judy, UFC, Survivor, Repo Games, American Gladiators, etc. Combine that with the president selling pardons and prisons loaning out prisoners for labor, and we’re nearly there. We just need to buckle down and create a situation in which fighting to the death is an acceptable form of the death penalty and in which “game show contestant” is a valid prison job. It wasn’t too long ago that public executions were a common form of entertainment. Once that gets brought back in broadcast form, we’re nearly there.

Thunderdome > Thunderball > Rollerball…Rollerdome? I feel like there a thunder-cougar-falcon-bird pattern going on here. I propose we build the Thunderrollerballdome and just see what happens.
Don’t encourage them… This timeline is dystopian enough. I’d rather we didn’t add The Running Man to the list of fucked up shit going on.
