The Night of the Mass Market Mechas
One night I saw huge mechas destroying entire cities with giant claws, ripping skyscrapers from their fundaments like weed and shaking helpless humans out of them like grains of salt. They each had one huge, bright yellow eye, and when you examined them you could see that each eye was a huge, brightly lit tribune where hundreds of thousands of people where watching this spectacle of destruction, some dining elegantly in the VIP-lounges, others getting pissed on the stands. The audence controlled the mechas through continous live audience polls, so conveniently nobody was directly responsible.
