I just think the novelty of these type of displays was up in the 90s, It's time for an upgrayedd. I propose leprechauns flying up and down the river wearing water jet packs, shooting people with their Chicago-style hot dog cannons would be more with the times. What's your idea?

Doing something isn't the same as studying it, though. If I were to eat a few litres of ice-cream that's not a study on the effects of excessive ice-cream consumption, that's just someone eating an unhealthy amount of ice-cream. People do stupid things all the time with the excuse that that's how it's always been done.

True but if they want an opportunity to study the effects, there it is.

Effects includea nausea, loss of motor control, and vomiting. And singing. But mainly vomiting.
