I don't see that The Hunger Games is either ultra-violent or especially controversial. So far the greatest controversy seems to be that Rue and Thresh were black... even though they were described as black in the book.
As for the violence, the fact that it's "YA" because the main characters are teens- don't get me started on that because it's fucking stupid- probably has something to do with that. I thought the movie could have used some more Battle Royale style violence, but of course it has to keep its PG13 rating.

I took it as both a lot more than reality TV satire, and not really that at all.

Oh Yes, the Hunger Games are *just* like Health Care Reform.

I intend to read them at some point... and the government's name is pretty clever.

It's anything like twilight only in the sense that it has a lot of fans.

What about the fact it plagiarizes a better book and movie?

Which plagiarized Dune and so on and so forth. [Battle Royale plagiarized the Lotterry, etc, etc]

They're worth reading. (Everyone, do just try reading the first book) Ideally, before movie.

Even before reading on wikipedia, I thought, "this is a rip-off of Battle Royale."
