surreal dining experience

We went to Moe's Southwest Grill tonight for dinner--$5 burrito night! Anyway, we're sitting in the dining area where they have at least one TV tuned in to the Animal Planet channel. The TV is muted so it's merely there to serve as visual noise. So far there's really nothing out of the ordinary. That's when I noticed what was showing on the TV. Animal Planet was running a show about medical use of maggots. They were showing images of infected, non-healing flesh wounds as doctors placed "sterilized" live maggots in the wounds to clean them. It's exactly the visual images any restauranteur would want to show to a room full of people coming to my business to eat with their friends and families.
