Reality TV is actually a more conrete sign of returing to Roman times. Now if they would just cut to the chase, own up to the power of the Lowest Common Denominator, and get to the logical conclusion of that trajectory already.
By which I mean, naturally, bringing back the Circus Maximus. Televised of course; no one wants to get off their sofa and actually go down and see some prostitutes getting raped by baboons on a life-sized replica of a merchant vessel afloat in a stadium filled with water in the flesh.
Well, maybe some would, but they would be "face-painter" types and no one wants to hang out with them anyway.
