"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.

As opposed to the dangers of not knowing.
I dont think Goths are depressed, i've got a feeling theyre actually quite happy people, what you're thinking of is teenage fashionista's following a look and there is a world of difference.

I disagree. I fail to see how I am a Goth because I like 2 (Yes, it's two now) of Rammsteins songs. Here's a tricky question for you - who'd you kill first, Goth or Chav?
Flock, you're a goth full stop. And Professor Snape in Harry Potter.
My logic holds true. Goths are bad. Goths must be eliminated, or put to suitrable use in society (i.e. to warn children f the dangers of thinking you're depressed).

Erm, no. Your logic is worse than my maths.

You listen to Rammstein. Hence, you are a goth.
One track.. And I've no idea what Rammstein is associated with. I could guess, but suffice to say I like that track and thats it.
I stopped at you listening to Rammstein. I never picture you as a neo-goth.
