THE PULL THE SWITCH EXTRAVAGANZA.
Ever wanted to kill some legally? The state of Texas will auction off the right to pull the switch on the next death-row-inmate. Yes! You can pull the switch on a serial killer on homicidal maniac. Watch his head catch on fire close up! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will make you the envy of all your firends. The bidding starts at $10,000, and the minimum increment is $550. Duplicate prizes may be awarded, since Texas has a lot of guys to kill.
