OK, Tell Me Again... I Still Don't Understand... Who is this for?

Calif. Lawmakers Vote to Ban Internet-Based Hunting
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) Hunters may now stalk prey online at www.live-shot.com, a Web site linking firearms and cameras so customers can point, click and shoot antelope, sheep and wild hogs on a Texas ranch from thousands of miles away... The operator of live-shot.com was not immediately available for comment, but customer Dale Hagberg of Ligonier, Indiana, who is paralyzed from the neck down, defended the Web site and criticized California lawmakers. 'They don't realize who the site is for. It's designed to help people like me, not just lazy hunters,' said Hagberg, who plans to use the Web site again after an initial and unsuccessful hunt.'

Dale, just start over from the beginning... how does this help you? Isn't this just like a video game? No, wait, isn't this really a video game?

Dude! How do you know your hunt was unsuccessful? How do you know if your hunt was successful? Like, do you see a video of a deer bleeding to death? Do they send you the carcass? And you know it is the carcass of the deer you shot because...?

This is either a very funny prank that's got those deer-huggin' granola eaters on the left coast all worked up over nuthin,' or it is one of the most sick and twisted uses of technology ever to emanate from a place other than the Pentagon.

If it is the former, except for the false advertising claims they're gonna get buried in, cool!

If it's the latter, there's some very real potential. But, heck leave the 4-point bucks and elephants alone. That just ain't PC. But link us up to a site in the Afghani Tora Bora's, or a Baghdad rooftop, and you are talkin' elephant bucks.
