"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.

The people who lead campaigns against violence in videogames don't seem to realise there is violence in every aspect of life - it's not a new phenomenan (s.p ?)
'Curling up with a good book' - that's one of those expressions that just seems to be synonamis with reading.
I agree that if t.v, the 'net, and books weren't around life would be pretty dull. The outside world is great too... but the British weather doesn't help.
Long live media, say I

Life isn't crap, it's what you make of it, without all this technology we might actually have more of a life. I've got a growing resentment of my pc, tv, console, etc because it makes everything so easy, why go to the football when you can watch it on tv, why go to the cinema with friends when you can rent a film and so on. Life escapes us because we let it.
Now if i was smart i'd turn this bloody machine off, phone an old friend and make plans for tommorow but you know as well as i do that i wont.
Rant over.

And if (and I think it is) this post applies to me, amongst others, then I'd disregard most of the negative things I say, this forum is usually just a place for me to vent hate.

Yeah. If you don't want to find sick sites and material there is not much chance of it occurring unless you specficaly try and find it. TV is a mixed bag, things like soaps disgust me.

It has its good and bad points. Gaming I will always enjoy, Music I couldn't live without, Films I love. But I think TV is a mixed bag. Some of it is undoubtedly beneficial, but other aspects are at the forefront of social decline, and constitute brainwashing. I find it disturbing just how addicted some people are to TV. They will avoid seeing friends, leaving their houses, or doing things that are important, just to see a stupid soap opera. It's as though they believe these stories are real, and that's just plain sad.
The internet is another mixed bag. Highly educational, an unequalled source of information and potential enlightenment. Also a cesspool of moral bankruptcy, prejudice and hatred. But I suppose it's what you make of it.
