It reminds me of a story I heard last week. Apparently you can now go on corporate racetrack outings where you sit in the bar, drinking, betting and watching the race on a TV monitor as usual... except that the race isn't real. It's a tape of some random past event, on which you can still place your bets because, let's face it, who's going to recognise the horses?
No good can come of this. It's just the sort of thing which ends up with giant invisible battleships materialising in mid air and dispatching their sailor servitor units to drag museum exhibits off to a more conceptual space...
