Read this as:
“ something-something DEATH, killed, tortured, maimed…(pause)…LIVE at 11:00”
as if it were on the evening news.
What?, you cry in consternation.
You have the audacity to use those obscenities and say they are spoken as if they were on the evening news, the very same evening news that comes into the privacy of my home, within the very intimate fortress of my family?
Why, yes. It seems a pretty good description. Yes, that’s what I’m doing.
Let’s apply it to, oh, say terrorist beheadings…LIVE at 11:00!
Or bombing wedding parties in No-one-gives-a-rip-ostan…LIVE at 11:00!
Or our government involved in third party torture schemes…LIVE at 11:00!
Or criminality and violence and gore all night long, then the real stuff...LIVE at 11:00!
O God! Let us not die unwatched and unwatching!
So remember that in our Brave New World Order, no one dies alone and unwatched, by the grace of the media gods.
Because...it’ll be LIVE…at 11:00!
ps.
the smoking gun between viewing violence and the collapse of civilization takes 50 years to manifest. it remains dormant, like HIV.
we will only be able to prove it as we are about to be slaughtered by the barbarians in our midst.
I think that's how the wonderfully rational Cicero died.
