[casual_games] slamdance competition

[Thomas H. Buscaglia]

Let's not forget the huge flap over rock and roll 
and the ultimate corruptor of American youth - 
Elvis the pelvis - on national TV.   I actually 
used the analogy when speaking before the Florida 
legislature committee considering a Wackie Jackie 
promoted anti game bill and one of the 
legislators was outraged by the comparison...he 
call my analogy shameful because Elvis was a 
great man - not evil and never had been.  Well 
the truth is that's not the way it 
was.  Interesting how Elvis is now revered as a 
great American icon in spite of the fact that 
when he came out he was a pariah and that he died 
on the floor of his Vegas hotel suite by choking 
on his own vomit from a drug overdose.  But now 
he is apparently been cleansed by time and nearly deified.
