The Power...And Dangers Of Fiction

First there was Battle Royale. Then the Hunger Games. And now...Game2: Winter.It's a Russian reality game show that pitches thirty men and women in a fight for a cash prize of 1.6 million US dollars. Rule number 1? We do not talk about rules. Rule number 2? Wedo not- talk about rules. You've heard right. In this reality game show you can fight, rmurder, rape, anything it takes to win.Anything.Sounds depraved? Needless for me to say more. The web is cluttered with comments more scathing than I can conjure.
