    ...since "The Rape of Nanking".

    Sick.

    Thoughts:

    1) I hope the attacker burns in hell.

    2) I hope the TV producer who decided to air this burns in hell.

    3) I hope any sleazebag American TV producer who slaps his forehead and thinks "Why didn't I think of that?!?!?" burns in hell.

    4) Yes, I am aware that there's a thematically similar movie due in theatres soon.

    If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go vomit up my breakfast now.

    Reality television is based on fear and desire. It seems as if they've merely gone to the furthest end of the spectrum. Next I assume, they'll show snuff films.

    Awwww, those poor redneck COPS viewers... if only they weren't held down by the FCC.

    Yeah, Achebe, what exactly are they thinking....? "Maybe if we show a film of a woman being beaten and raped, people will realize it's a bad thing and not do it any more!"

    I say, why stop there? Why not put "Murder Strictly Prohibited" signs up all over town? (stole that bit from George Carlin)

    God, that is awful.

    We live in a very sick world.
    It has been said that a sick act is committed at least a thousand times a second of every hour of every day here on Earth.

    Some of my college friends rented Faces of Death one time, and I watched some of it.

    It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen, and I will never get some of the images out of my head. What is it about some people that can allow them to watch that stuff, and not vomit?

    I don't understand, and I hope I never do.

    Knowing that the vast majority of the stuff in the film is fake makes it easier to stomach such images.

    How can any person be so deranged as to commit acts like that?
    Things like this are not helping my lack of faith in humanity.

    Wouldn't that go for any movie that starred Dee Snider?

    If you guys get a chance, watch Series 7. It didn't win anything at Sundance, but I'm pretty sure that it'll be at least on video if not in the theaters.

    It does a pretty funny bit on reality tv.

    Hum...

    Interesting, While I don't condone putting this kind of stuff on TV, I wonder; would you
    watch a death row execution if it was shown?

    No, I would not watch an execution. I don't begrudge the family members of victims the right to do so, but I personally have no interest in seeing something like that.

    I don't like death.
