When art becomes reality

      The BBC is about to take the reality game show format to a new low - by asking the public to vote on whether individual asylum seekers should be thrown out of the country, reports the Guardian.  Maybe we're getting close to that Perotian model of democracy where anyone with a telephone can help decide public policy.  Here's some suggested formats:
    • Throw  ____________  out of the US
    • Choose between a flat 15% income tax, or ___________
    • _________ Bill & Hillary Clinton in public
    • Let the nation go  bankrupt, or jettison _________?
    • Make  __________ appear nude on television?
    • Bomb ________ now!
