beerwolf Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I watched the live news feed when Gaddafi was found, mauled, shot and killed. This was about 2pm GMT Seems as the news channels has become a snuff channels. This is food for thought I wager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAAAh Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 thats quite upsetting. why does fox broadcast car chases live, that's just strange. Actually, why do the police let them broadcast this stuff live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking death obsessed culture... this shit is mind altering. you're lucky you can just turn off the tv and avoid the brutal nature of reality. most of the world's population doesn't have that luxury. i don't mind gore that has a purpose in educating people. i think we should be streaming what's happening in iraq and afganistan too so americans can see the carnage they've wrought on the rest of the planet because of "freedom" or whatever. as for this guy's case, i think it's a valuable lesson in demonizing people. i bet all the fuckers following that car chase were waiting for the dude to get arrested and wishing awful things on him. welp, they got what they wanted--the guy shot himself. i don't care what that guy did or why he was being chased-i think our cultural obsession with crime and punishment is sick. fuck nancy grace, fuck crime tv, fuck csi, fuck cops, fuck worlds most dangerous car chases. they don't show that the criminals are real people too, fucked up people, but ones who could've possibly been saved if we focused more on rehabilitation and mental health in our culture instead of shitty television.

FUCK TELEVISION!!! Having a tv is what's considered the luxury, not turning it off - everyone can and should do that. About streaming our invasion of the middle east, television is the reason why people have warped views of what's actually going on over there. Yes, fuck television... I couldn't agree more on that one. The police should take half responsibility for this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAAh Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Hoodie, just becuase death happens it doesn't meen it isn't a big deal. I mostly agree with your second post but the first was i think ill thought out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sirch Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 in the UK the police are told to always back off if a chase is getting too dangerous. but then our police don't even have guns, so... a world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUCK TELEVISION!!! word. Well put - I think you hit on something about the gore aspect - when I used to flip on Spanish network news I noticed far more graphic footage and pictures used than anything on US networks. I won't say that other countries have less ignorant citizens - but there's certainly a degree of reality Americans tend to shelter themselves from, and ironically we are inundated with stylized violence. When most kids in the states think of war, they think of fucking first person shooters and michael bay movies - the cool vehicles, explosions, action sequences - not blood and entrails of actual human beings involved in political and social conflict. It's not new - hell, as a kid I remember playing with GI joes and fighter jet games on sega where death was rarely acknowledged - the "bad guys" were captured or merely hurt. It's a strange duality. A lot of people grew up with a rather idealized idea of how WWII was fought and won for decades before more brutal and graphic aspects of the war were acknowledged in films and tv series also seriously mother fuck nancy grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YO303 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Why were they airing a speed chase in the first place? People that watch high speed chases want shit like that to happen thats why they watch it in the first place to see something go horribly wrong. People are fucking sick little shits, movies and tv aren't enough they need to watch real life tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
