Tasers and Pitch Invaders

I have always been amused with pitch invaders and what goes on in their head before they jump off and start running whilst a game is on the go. Now pitch invasion has a very long history and occur in quite a few sports. There are some so called sports which actually see a bit of excitement because of this activity, ok probably more due to streaking than invading pitches but the only difference between the two happens to be if you have your clothes on or you don't. Along the years, pitch invading has got a lot tougher with the security around the grounds being more stricter than before. We have big fences, an army of security personnel and now the reports coming from the Big Apple this weekend that even tasers are out to electrify (sorry but I couldn't resist) the loony who tries such a thing.
Imagine going to game now, you would be wishing someone gets too drunk (yes that is one of the reasons for jumping on to the pitch and running across with a mental note that a pack of wild dogs are after you) and his friends bet him money (another one of the reasons) to become the gladiator and run across avoiding all obstacles and ensuring that he is not caught, depending on the amount of alcohol consumed and the money wagered, this could also ascertain if the clothes would be of a hindrance to this task or not. This my friends, is where the whole if this is going to be a plain pitch invasion or is it going to be a feat of streaking is decided, let the whole world or at least a state in a country check out what is deemed very private by the public. This is going to be the, most likely less than, five minutes of fame and you decide if you want to be an open book (again couldn't resist it) or have that mysterious aura surrounding you. So once, the invader jumps on you can start your chants, like the people in the Bank Park in Philadelphia watching the baseball game, of "TASE HIM!! TASE HIM!" and wait and watch as that hit of electricity makes someone fall like a lump of.........we'll just leave it at lump. I already want the authorities to start using it here so we can enjoy this new added form of entertainment at the already expensive sport events sooner rather than later. I am sure it would raise the coffers of the teams and for a change we would be given a worth our money experience.
So on that note, let us give an applaud to the pitch invaders/streakers to continue their somewhat crazy antics and give us an electrifying performance and I literally mean that.
