First the colonies introduced Nascar, then Disney made Cars and now the UK offers the Drambuie Pursuit. Real sports seem to be fading into the background as technology moves to the forefront. Wheels are replacing legs not just because of Bush-Blair's Iraqi Debacle but because wheels, well, wheel and legs just walk or run, kick or jump but don't wheel!
The more the human race drives cars, rides trains, planes and rockets the more traditional sports that involve real human appendages are being left behind.
Animals were really the first ones to replace human sport with horse and dog racing and cock-fighting. Now all that is passe' as machines are going higher, faster and longer than human legs, arms and nasty bits.
Drambuie Pursuits seeks to send motor vehicles across the Cornwall Salt Flats at record-breaking speeds, rockets straight up into the air into the stratosphere and catapults throwing livestock greater and greater distances.
Drambuie Pursuits is already being threatened by VirtualDP, a videogame that goes virtually higher, farther and faster than anything really real.
VDP hopes that its relacement of sport is just the beginning. Their real goal is to erase war, hunger and crime with virtual games so humanity will eventually only play at such horrific pursuits while peace, food and justice will part of the real life of human beings. . .
