"Whorehouse of Destiny" is also the perfect title for a political satire ;-) I was really taken with the image of ancient and modern Pompeii superimposed. As fascinating as the city is, there's also something kind of gruesome in tourists walking around through what is a mass casualty site, stepping around the casts of bodies, etc. The scene kind of reminded me of my visit to the archaeological museum in Dublin where several bog bodies are housed in a discreetly partitioned area, and a girl and her boyfriend were in there taking selfies with them :-|

Thank you for catching the edits. Yeah, I remember visiting the same museum in Dublin with the bog bodies. Really creepy. Also, when I was at Pompeii they had some of the bodies on wooden shelves under a tarp on a hill, which felt really macabre.
