"This is just silly"

The analogy I was making (which obviously went over your head) was to the fact that some chosen elites sit in judgement of others and wield the power to decide their fates, all for the entertainment and amusement of the masses. The fact that some of the "entertainers" appear to be handicapped serves to provide the judges with an easy target to ridicule, much to the amusement of the audience. IMO this is sick and exploitive but hey, if you get off on this sort of public humiliation, by all means enjoy yourself.
