‘A bizarre new service offering 'designer kidnapping' for thrill-seeking New Yorkers is dividing opinion across the city. Brock Enright, a 25-year-old artist, has created a business where people pay him thousands of dollars a time to be violently abducted.’
What is the world coming to? What's next? Killing people for kicks?! I can’t stop laughing. Imagine it:
''AAAGH! OOOH! I only paid for the tennis-ball-in-mouth-bundled-into-van kidnapping!''
''This is a new deal. If you order this week, you get a free beating.''
''Oh, ok...''
Sounds like a good business plan. This reminds me of that film Michael Douglas was in, The Game where people paid to be chased by unknown assailants. Except The Game was impossible. What if someone gets killed or seriously injured during the kidnapping? Or what if people find out about the kidnapping and kidnap him for real? Basically, this is sick. It's another example of the greed of American capitalism making people come up with new disgusting ways to earn money. What would happen if the person who is to be kidnapped turns out to be a nut, thus kidnaps the kidnappers, then demands a ransom from the business or he'll start sending fingers through he post? Being in America he would probably sue the business for psychological damage or something.
Also reminds me of a story by Roald Dahl. Can't remember which one though. In this story, 2 people set up a business to scare/frighten/kidnap people, to certain degrees of nastiness. Quite funny I think. The Game was a very stupid film, but the end really took the biscuit...
*SPOILER ALERT*
…when he jumped off the skyscraper and conveniently landed on a small air cushion which he would have to be pushed onto. And did so after falling through A GLASS CEILING. I dub this game "Get Cut To Bloody Pieces". It takes high risk to a whole new level.
New idea for a Monty Python script then. Only in America…

Ah well, it suppose it means he doesn't actually have to do anything...
