Of course. If you eat at McDonald's it's kinda like watching the same thing, only in slow motion. And now a question for you: If there were still public circumcisions where you live would you allow your Children to attend them ?

Good point. In the case of a firing squad, however, you'd have to get them a smaller rifle I would think. Pellet guns for the toddlers.

It really depends on what kind of snacks they're serving, if there's a good movie playing with it, as well as whether or not there are good seats available. I don't want to buy any "obstructed view" seats. That's just a waste of money.

You're really disappointing me lately. While the pre and post execution entertainment is important, and the seating pretty damn vital, I'd have expected you to be more concerned with The Executionettes, the local Public Execution Drill Team.

And to seriously answer the question, my kids could only go if they sold season tickets and we could get a Gallager-style tarp on the front row.

We're all witness to public execution.



Might as well not let them watch the news...

I've been a little disappointed with the Executionettes lately. Sure they have the token asian girl on their squad, but she's not nearly as sexy as the three that moved on to be porn stars. I want my son to have a healthy exposure to all kinds of women. Also remember, his mommy is asian, so he's got a built in propensity for asian ladies. As far as Gallagher style shows, I think they should move more toward GWAR style shows. It just seems more appropriate. Additionally, I'd expect everything splattered on me to be not only edible, but damn tasty too. They can do it. I've eaten gummy rats before. Mmmmm gummy rats.

NO. I wouldn't go either.. I had to put a STRAY cat to sleep one time. A stray! I figured if I had the balls to have a vet put a cat to sleep, I should be there with it.

Jeez, I cried like a baby, hard. Never. Again.

Well, at least you have family values and your kid's perception of women in mind. I can respect that. As for the GWAR thing...a meat grinder could be used to educate my kids not only on anatomy, but the food industry, as well. I agree.

Additionally, they should employ sexy baconettes to walk around selling bacon. Only then, would I consider blessing the event with my presence.

Probably a good plan for most of us, children and adults.

Everything should move toward GWAR style shows.
