For an epicurean such as myself, even an average, greasy burger can be a treat for the senses!

Pet’s Ahoy was a travesty; an orgy of animal cruelty. If someone made the world’s very best rollercoaster but themed it around genocide or 9/11, would it be ok to enjoy it? How acceptable is it then to visit a park the major attractions of which are performing animals?

Years ago there was a type of attraction popular in Florida called ‘mermaid shows’, in which naked or near-naked girls would swim in large glass-walled tanks for the amusement of diners (these were billed as ‘art’, not burlesque). For obvious reasons they went out of vogue, but apparently Seaworld is keeping the dream alive with their ‘pearl diving’ exhibit. This girl ostensibly shows how native divers collect oysters, but in actuality is putting on a show for male park visitors. Don’t worry ladies, a hunky male diver is in the tank as well. Seaworld is nothing if not equal opportunity in it’s delivery of cheese/beefcake 🙂
