God and the Devil decide to have a bet over the souls of a group of modern-day delinquents to see whether they were more aroused by violence or music.

The devil chooses Hitler, gives him a crash-course in English and sends him to earth. If the lads follow him, he promises them the chance to rob and inflict violence on their wealthier neighbors without fear of punishment.

At that moment the King descends from heaven, guitar in hand, and gives the teens a free performance. If they follow him rather than Hitler, he promises the good times will never end

Who will the audience follow? Although they're unaware of it, the fate of their souls hangs in the balance

Father image Hitler isn't something lazy teens will get out of bed before 4p for.
The King of Rock is something that attracts teens with music and a chance to 
meet girls.  Dancing beats goose stepping.

Id depends how happy or unhappy the audience is - happy people don't develop maniacal control-freaking behavior and go kill people; they want to have fun. So if the audience is made of tired unhappy kids from poor countries, they may as well go for Hitler, because desperation leads people to dehumanization that they wouldn't otherwise succumb to.

Today's kids suffer from boredom, despite their privileged lifestyle. They enjoy dancing and music, but they also enjoy mindless violence (due in part to dumb video games)

The USMC and USA have used modified versions of those for years now in training snipers, general marksmanship and for simulated gunnery of Armored Fighting Vehicles, Tanks and Attack helicopters.

Video games are good in moderation (i used to play them) but a lot of kids sit behind a games console screen all night, don't play sports, do badly at school, and throw tantrums when they lose
