I've always loved that scene from the Network, but I hadn't heard all of those "shut up" clips before.
Excellent points about 50 shades of grey, I am always so disgusted that 'we' think things are organically famous, we are told what to like, what to listen to, what to read, how to do our hair etc. No one could actually like the pop/rap music that is coming out nowadays...maybe a rare few, but this shit would not be demanded. And don't even get me started on 'modern art'.
Despite what the media portray for the vast majority of mankind violence and evil are not naturally compatible to the human condition.
Thank you!! I wish more folks could see that, we don't have to look very far...the world is full of good people.
Thank you for stopping by my friend, I really appreciate it! And yes in terms of culture being created and not organically grown .. it's so true, I mean just take a look at some of the clothes people wear, just because someone has externally defined it as in fashion! I wouldn't be seen dead in 99.9% of it! And you're bang on with the music! I hear it and I can't believe people are listening to it .. I read something a couple of years back that was equating the lyrics of a band like .. say Pink Floyd with modern lyrical content, they were looking at the structure and came to the conclusion that much modern pop music is actally sub nursery rhyme level in it's lyrical content .. the text speak generation.
The world is full of amazing people but becuase we only ever hear about the bad we have a very manipulated and indeed unbalanced view of humanity .. as a collective this leads to us hating ourselves and thus leads to a subconscious perception that we deserve to be punished and equally deserve what is coming to us .. it's a slight of hand and a lie and I refuse to have any part of it! Thanks again @lyndsaybowes
