Summary

This quote reflects a dark aspect of modern society's fascination with entertainment and media. It suggests that even in death, if one's demise is televised, it would serve a purpose by entertaining the masses.

Ultimately, it highlights the potentially twisted priorities of society and the consumption of sensationalized content.
