Circus Maximus!

There was I, having just turned on the TV and hunting for the remote control to put Ceebeebies on for A Jr., and Entertainment Today was playing on Sky One.

The sound was muted due to having been muted last night when the TV was turned off, but I could see they were talking about the JonBenet Ramsey murder, and John Mark Karr, the suspected killer (nice photo of him with a real bad mullet). The piece finished before I had the volume back up, so I didn't catch what they were saying.

But let's back up a second.

Entertainment Today: JonBenet being murdered.

Anyone else find this slightly sickening? I don't see any way you can twist the real-life events to be classed as entertainment.

Bring back the Christians and lions, I say. Although obviously today's media frenzy would make damned sure it would be the Muslims vs the lions.
