...Because what Vegas hadn't understood is that, compared with even the most worn-out vices, like keno and showgirls, roller coasters bite. So now Vegas has reinvented itself again, returning to vice but sanitizing it by creating the biggest, nicest place to sin ever imagined, a Sodom and Gomorrah without the guilt.

Reality TV is supposed to coarsen the culture, accelerating America's highly anticipated slide into the Sodom-Gomorrah metropolitan area. Survivor: The Australian Outback proved to be a huge letdown.
