George Carlin joked about televised executions decades before Pentagon announcement
What we really need is year-round capital punishment on TV every night with sponsors! Gotta have sponsors. I’m sure as long as we’re killing people, Marlboro cigarettes and Dow Chemical will be proud to participate.
Ironic that cigarette ads aren’t allowed on TV anymore, but this regime seriously considered airing a state-sponsored execution. Glad to see it won’t be televised after all.
