Yikes. I don't really see the resemblence, honestly.
Public executions would be, IMHO, a good idea. As a contest?? No way. Just as a "public access channel" show.
"Today we have Billy Bob Ray Tyrone Green here on the trap. Say 'Hi' to the audience, Billy Bob."
"Help me!"
"Ha ha, that's a good one, Billy Bob. Today's executioner is the winner of the lot of the mates of your victims, who shall go nameless as per tradition."
A person in a black hood with a
on it comes onto the platform. He puts a black hood with a
on Billy Bob's head, then the noose. He steps back.
"Any last words, Billy Bob?" says the announcer.
"I didn't do it!"
"Yes, I expect we're supposed to believe you, even though forty-seven people saw you drop the bomb on that birthday party. Pull the switch, smiley!"
Billy Bob drops through the trap. They show him dangling, jerking, then pissing his pants. He becomes still after a few minutes.
"That's about all for today! Tune in tomorrow when Ol' Sparky in Florida will warm the next multiple murderer! Until then, have a nice day."
