In the past years, people have had an ever decreasing interest in the nature of politics. People have almost voluntarily become ignorant of the world outside of their own pathetic circle of activities. People who keep up on the news and watch C-span are becoming the butt of many office jokes, or are a scapegoat to force accepted views upon. People who question the government and what it is doing are marked as "terrorists", or "liberals". It's almost like a self defense mechanism, the weaker minded among us are voluntarily becoming ignorant to escape fear or harm. With all of these things piling up on top of one another, there seems to be no solution right?
There is hope...
My idea is to combine politics with professional wrestling. I bet you are sitting back, scratching your ass and thinking "What the hell...." But go with me on this. Imagine yourself watching C-span, and listening to the incessant droning of a boring old man.
You are about to change the channel to catch the end of "Friends" when suddenly Randy Savage busts into the hall of congress with a microphone and shouts out in his grizzly baritone, "Speaker Hastert, you're in for a world of PAAAAAIIN!! You and me are gonna have a cage match for the title of Speaker of the House, and I guarantee you won't be walking out. You promised you would encourage TAX CUTS and I heard you were thinking about supporting the RAISING OF TAXES!!!! I'm gonna snap into you like a Slim Jim!"
Not only would you be on the edge of your seat, but people would be talking about the implications of what the Macho Man had just said. Pretty soon everyone would be glued to the television listening to wrestlers promise each other pain over too much pork barrel spending. We would have "Title" fights every weekend, where someone could become the new President, or Senate majority leader, or Speaker of The House. A Battle Royal would decide whose sponsored bill gets passed.
Upon inauguration, the winner would receive a belt that signified his office. There could be interference at anytime on C-Span. Imagine the Macho Man giving a speech in the House when he gets clobbered from behind with a chair, by none other than Ex Speaker Hastert wearing a crazy outfit. Behind the scenes we would still have a working government, but its decisions would be acted out and all the issues brought forward by the wrestlers.
I think that it is a valid idea. I mean no matter what we do, any other country will hate us and think we are all dolts; we might as well try to appeal to those of us who are attempting ignorance by tricking them into learning.
Imagine a man and woman sitting on a couch channel surfing and coming up with zilch in their search, when the man lands on C-Span. Normally it would be disregarded, but they see the entire house of Representatives trying to break into a huge cage where the Macho Man and Rick Flair are punching it out over education spending.
Wrestling could bring America back into the enlightened state it once was in faster than you could say, "LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE".
