WHACK-AN-A-HOLE
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that a Wisconsin Chuck E.
Cheese restaurant--location of millions of children's birthday parties-
-has accrued
href="http://www.jsonline.com/news/wauk/dec03/195498.asp"> more than 40
visits by the police this year. My theory: the
href="http://www.us.imdb.com/title/tt0070909/">Westworld
effect. Adult attendees viewing the animatronic Chuck E. Cheese jam
band, are lulled into the belief that they are in a completely
synthetic world where they can punch people out, smash bottles over
other's heads, and gun fellow partygoers down with no negative
repercussions. I think Chuck E. Cheese should add a Yul Brynner robot
playing the ukulele to his line up, just to give these people pause.
