Weird news of the day in Italy is a fun-fair in Milan where there is a new machine that is simulating a prisoner dying on an electric chair. 1 euro and you can put your child in front of a convulsing dummy that looks like a man... there are videos on Youtube where people are laughing at it... I found it horrible! Here you can read the news: http://www.ansa.it/site/notizie/awnplus/english/news/2008-07-23_123235392.html They've imported this machine from Los Angeles, have you ever seen something like that? What do you think about it?

I don't think it possible There can be anything remotely funny or entertaining about an Electric Chair being used as a Sideshow attraction...It's a piece of Equipment used to kill Murderers,it Shouldn't be trivialised in this way.It functions(ed?) as a Deterrent to People not to take another Life..it sounds almost as much fun as a Drowning Simulator or standing in front of a Firing Squad loaded with Blanks..

Sorry, what do you mean saying you don't think is possible? It's already in a fair-fun in Milan and people are actually "having fun". Children saying funny comments, teenagers filming it with phones and things like that...

In My opinion it's neither funny nor entertaining,and shouldn't be treated as such.

I see, I agree with you but I didn't get the meaning of the first sentence ;)

Its interesting to know the execution of a dummy costs 1 euro.Children will be more attracted towards these stuff.

So, do you think it's something good that they would learn they can smile at something like that without understanding the real context?
