The trill of the kill from your own cubical

I got the coolest thing from Justin Walduck who I work with.

 

I think there is sarcasm hidden in there somewhere I just can’t tell…

Ever get up in the morning and feel like killing something? Well, now you can do it from the comfort of your home computer!

For $300, hunters can log onto www.live-shot.com and shoot a wild animal--in real time, with real guns. The only requirement is to obtain a Texas hunting license first, which is also available over the Internet. Here's how it works: Hunters pay for two hours and two rounds from a 30.06 rifle, having full control over the firearm which is connected to a motorized arm. The online hunter watches their prey through a camera built into the scope, and pulls the trigger with a mouse click.

The game--which presently includes sheep, Blackbuck Antelopes, and Wild Hogs--is stationed on a secluded ranch in Texas. Ranch personnel is standing by to provide the kill shot in case the animal is only wounded. Meat processing and taxidermy cost extra, and an additional $9.95 plus shipping buys the proud hunter a DVD recording to gloat with in front of his buddies.
