ROME (Reuters) -

 

[The Dork Lord]

An Italian funfair closed an attraction where a life-sized dummy was "executed" in an electric chair on Thursday following protests by opponents of capital punishment.

 

[The Dork Lord]

The macabre exhibit at the Luna Park in northern Milan allowed visitors to insert coins and watch the dummy strapped to an electric chair go through his death throes -- convulsing, smoking, and slumping from the simulated charge.

Milan's mayor, church organisations and "Hands Off Cain," a group working to abolish the death penalty worldwide, had all protested against it.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Hands Off Cain called it "a demented and culturally devastating attraction, which undoes years of work on the part of those struggling against the death penalty".

 

[The Dork Lord]

It was a way of profiting from the "base and bestial aspects of our society," it said.

 

[The Dork Lord]

The park owners said they had shut down the attraction and on Thursday it was covered with canvas.

Capital punishment is banned in Italy.

If you call Yub wanting to join the badlands, then yes I agree that it was a big joke.

Actually, I think it was just some good natured joking around, until you took it all super serial.
