"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.

If i thought you were being serious you'd be reading this post for the next month. The "fact" as it is is that you just follow the cliches taught by others, i'm sure you've seen certain people of this forum jump on the bandwagon of others, you've got more brains than that and you should be able to make up your own mind, use your own words and clear your mind of all the opinions of others because they dont mean a thing to you.
I find myself smiling at my anger :)

Stop trying to be so knowing and thinking you understand everyone better than they do themselves. Who are you to say theyre not mis-understood, can you read their minds.
I'm feeling in a very angry mood tonight, rah!

Goths. Goths don't know their place, at all. They think they're mis-understood and give wannabe depressed teens a whole market to aim at and try to be. 'Wow, man, no-one understand me. I'm so misunderstood. I write poetry that you can't understand as I'm so much deeper than you could ever imagine.'
Chavs know their role. They know that they are nothing more than fools dressed in crap clothing. Yeah, they're more agressive, but it's you fault. And if there were no goths, there would be far fewer people for the chavs to abuse. The chavs would die out pretty quick. It's natural selection, man.
