Much of the country will be watching the Academy Awards tonight, as overprivileged lottery winners enjoy White House-level armed security, abusing their moment at the megaphone by demonstrating their utter contempt for the values and beliefs of Americans responsible for Trump winning.
I won't be watching. Still, the thought strikes, imagine a show along the lines of "24": The "CTU" is tracking a lead that "refugee" terrorists are planning to stun the world by attacking the Oscars ceremony, and slaughtering all the "stars" and other Hollywood luminaries on live television.
It's actually not a totally original idea. Firesign Theater, for one, performed just such a scenario, carried out under the slogan:
Eat flaming death, fascist media pigs.The show progresses from "CTU" getting the initial lead to following the actions of the terrorists, to going through the advances and setbacks of the agents trying to intercept and prevent disaster, until the final commercial break, at which point viewers are given the ability to provide feedback (via texting or social media or whatever) to determine the outcome based on popular (not electoral this time) vote.
What do you think the results would be, and do you think it would be a landslide?

It would be the only time I ever (intentionally) vote/cheer for the 'terrorists'.
Personally, screw Hollywierd. I will not put money in my blood enemies pocket. Let them eat statuettes and lucite blocks. Fuck em...
