"Films are the only thing I've got. It takes away the horrible drudgery of family.."
- Homer, Simpsons.
I was just loading up Halo there whilst listening to Rammsteins "Amerika"
when I realised how crap everything would be without entertainment.
I'm talking about TV, music and film here. And don't forget books. Life really would be a drudgery if the only book was the Bible, the only newspaper the Daily Mail, if TV didn't exist and if no-one had heard of the internet let alone gaming. Life is bad enough, same day in, day out, so long yet so short. Media manages to improve my petty life drastically.
There's nothing better than watching a decent film, curling up with a good book on a Winters night or listening to some good tunes as you blow the hell out of people online.
Yet people don't appreciate this brilliance. From those that conduct smear campaigns against the gaming industry, people that complain about TV and those that try to ban certain music. Why can't people just sit back and enjoy what there is? Seeing a naked woman isn't going to corupt a childs life, running someone over in a game won't turn you into a serial killer and listening to music from certain artists doesn't make you get a Tec-9 and pop your school chums. Other factors, like a corrupt and twisted scoiety and narrow minded bigots cause this. But this post isn't a rant against those people and I've strayed from my original message.
What I'm trying to say, in a roundabout way, is that media shapes the world and improves people's lives. If you don't like something turn it off, turn it over or ignore it. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean its crap. (I'm expecting something here).
Anyway yeah. Crank up the sound, turn on the TV and slot in a DVD. Life is crap, but enjoy its perks.

Less people are going out on a Saturday night. Better home entertainment, such as multi-channel TV, DVDs and computers, mean people are staying in more.

Honestly, show some respect! :(

Actually, playing Resi 4 makes me want to send people flying backwards through doorways via a shotgun blast to the face. Good stuff.

Goths can speak to the dead thogh>
I seen it in a program last night, they got a Psychic and a Goth, and hid a toaster behind 1 of 4 gravestones.
They then called upon the dead to tell them where the toaster was.
The goth got it right twice, but the psychic got it wrong.
They also proved on this program that Catholics get a better postal service in Britain than Jews and Hindus because their mail fell on the floor first.

90% of music thankfully, although only about 1% of it makes it far enough to reach most peoples ears.
Well, Mister Fix... what would YOU class as 'proper' music, then?
Oh and Amerika's a great track.
It's Vunderba! (sp?)
