Diplomacy, Shmiplomacy


Someone on the radio made the usual remark of "We should just lock politicians in a room until they work out their (our) problems". Oh, sure, it's a fine idea, many people subscribe to it. But, my goodness, it's so dull. I mean, really, where's the glamour?

So, I think we should make our politicians mud-wrestle, instead. Your average citizen would pay way more attention to the proceedings. Just picture it! We'll broadcast the event over BBC and NHK, get some cute Japanese commentator(s) to emcee the whole thing (hm...think "Iron Chef") and toss our statesmen in the mud. In those white sumo-type loincloth things.

Just imagine the ratings!
