mouse hunting
you can meet eligible singles online, buy your groceries online, make a virtual bootleg run for some high-grade canadian pharmaceuticals online, so why not be able to hunt wild pigs online? an outfit in (where else) texas is trying to start up a remote hunting service, where anyone with an internet connection and more money than sense can log on to power up a .22-caliber rifle. apparently the only thing standing in his way (besides a few raised eyebrows at the parks and wildlife dept) is his lack of bandwidth: "[the crackpot] will offer animal hunting as soon as he gets a fast Internet connection to his remote ranch that will enable hunters to aim the rifle quickly at passing animals". because aiming slowly spoils all the fun.
