I can't even imagine carving my name into a tree, let alone The Colosseum. Where the hell do people get off doing stuff like that? Trashy.

What I'm reading is that I can afford to get my name on the colosseum. Where do I sign up?

Small price for immortality (as in, being remembered). I wonder what Rome is going to do, leave the markings as is, or try to remove it.
