There's nothing quite like the thrill of possible injury to draw crowds. But regular bull riding, with cowboys holding on for dear life while midgets wrangle golden retrievers, doesn't seem to have the same panache it once did.

Exciting stuff, but what happens when this kind of endangerment is deemed mundane? Hunger Games at the OC Fair 2032.
