I kept thinking about that analogy myself. When I was younger and watched westerns with my mom I couldn't believe that townsfolk gathered to watch hangings and made it a celebration/picnic affair. I was amazed by that. At that time I figured surely people would never do that now. I don't feel the slightest desire or curiosity to see any footage of it myself.
