AHHHHHHHHHH: Forgot I had this draft
Just read a blog blaming sleezy tabloids for publishing crime scene photos of David Carradine. Well a couple of things, blame the media all you want it’s the public’s thirst for this crap that fuels that fire, if it weren’t gonna sell papers would they bother-no. Would there be all the Photogs chasing celebrities, taking video of horrific events, or paying off some under paid cop for some pictures if there wasn’t a call for it? My oh my about 5 years ago I worked with people who talked about a site called faces of death and it was just that(so they told me I had no desire to look) what the hell is that all about? I heard it said one time it’s part of the human condition the half open curtains, the accident on the freeway, or the girl bending over way too far in the short skirt we have to look, whether out of perversion or disgust we look. To those of you who watch ,read, or google the news is it to stay informed or is there an underlying desire to see death and destruction or the latest dirt they just dug up on someone?
And on to the second thing what was he doing, what was he in to, who cares? I have an adult’s only site hurtzsogood.com and there are somethings I don’t want to look at, but on the flip side who am I to judge, who are you to judge? The major probelm with the world in which we live is the it can’t be me I am the average Joe who don’t hurt nobody attitude. You don’t have to be a flag waving, gun toting, or bible thumping maniac to be a part of the problem, do you peek out of the corner of your eye at the tabloids while standing in line at the market? Do you maybe even pick them up and thumb through? Now that you know there is a picture of David Carradine on the internet are you frantically searching to find it? Maybe I am just rambling but think about it, you buy the papers,watch the news, and google the pics all which fuels the fire for more and more of the same.
Am I better than anyone else nahhhh just a different part of the problem and I just as judgemental as the next guy (see above). But I also have some very simple beliefs, I believe that no one’s higher power said be fruitful and kill everyone who is different from you. That’s another whole rant but as long as these types of stories show up on the yahoo, msn, or whatever home pages people out in the “real world” will be doing whatever it takes to keep it coming TRUST ME.
Thanks
