I kinda like to replace "the pit" in this sort of analogy with a cesspool. Mankind is drowning in unimaginable filth and winds-up ingesting a lot of crap!

Agreed, there are some shortcomings to the analogy. I was going to go in a direction of having the "pit life" or something but didn't have the energy. The cesspool angle works great for me!
