You know that TV program where they get a couple of teams to compete at building things from stuff 'found' on the scrapheap? They also have an expert assigned to each team.
Well, I would love to see Colin Furze[^] be on one of these programs.
Have you seen his latest creations at re-creating the X-Men Characters?
Pyro[^]
Wolverine[^]
Magneto[^]
I love the Pyro one!

That was a good program - that turned...well...cr@p.
They built some incredible machines: Dick's "Walking Landy" and the episode with the homemade jet engines...

Inspired by the man shot with a tranquilizer and a lad in the office commenting he'd love to be shot with a tranquilizer to see what it felt like.
Normal athletics track, contestants line up, but instead of a starting pistol each one is shot in the ass with a tranquilizer dart, this signals they should start running.
The winner is whoever can run the farthest.
Different strength shots can be used to get different length races.
Don't tell me you wouldn't watch that.

That would be hilarious!

Maybe if it were a "celebrity" event. And maybe have a steamroller or similar set to follow the pack to encourage any stragglers.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Make it a Political event, and I'm there. Especially if the steamroller is following.

You need separate categories; politicians and lawyers, and adjust the strengths accordingly!
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

Why would you need to adjust the strength? Surely "lethal" is the correct dose for both of those groups.

You can't use #1 on a lawyer - every extra second it took them to die would cost you £100!

Have them run past a gallery of shooters instead of some official having all the fun of shooting them. If they are shot outside the target zone penalties apply. Target zone to be decided by crowd acclamation.
Profession of runner to be published prior to race.

Towards the end of the race, I can see every contestant anime-style-screaming as they move forward an inch.

Love it.
I picture the lawyers taking the time to remove the dart, and sacrifice the leg with a tight tourniquet before running.
But I think we should do it with Congress, and as they approach the finish line.
We have the NRA sponsored shooters, and the OTHER SIDE (Pun intended) would be anti-gunners. So any stray shots that missed the runners, could take out someone anyways
All said and done, we'd be a better country.

Combine this sport with elections, and I'd definitely pay to watch.
Line up each candidate, dart 'em, and let 'em go. For the primaries, the 2 that get the farthest get to come back in November for the General. We could call it "The Bungler Games". I don't think we could do much worse that who's been in office lately.
