Sex, Violence, and iEverthing...

...is the wave of the future people. Won't it be great?

It is stated that in the Mayan calendar that the world as we know it will end in 2012. Meaning that it will change forever, not necessarily end.

Evidence of that can already be seen, I mean the environment has been producing more natural disasters, and more catastrophic disasters, in the last few years then it did in the last millennium (OK so maybe not that dramatic, but they have been pretty egregious) so Mother Nature has already declared that she's changing, into what not sure, but hopefully it's for the better (and when I mean for the better, call me cynical, I'm not talk about for the human race. I of course am talking about the fauna and flora that humans love to destroy so much)

But, as if guided by some evil of some sort or some good, who knows, I will just say it is some kind of other force, through a group of peoples, otherworldly beings, whatever it be to change as well. I mean In the last decades there has been more sex everywhere then there has been, once again, in the last millennium combined. And yeah, I know there were orgies and stuff during ancient times along with rape, but what I am speaking of is sex in a more open, and at times, grotesque sense. No longer is it sacred, and dare I say it, no longer is it demeaning. It probably hasn't reach that point yet, but I fear when the world changes it might, rape might not even be as criminal or demeaning as shoplifting. Shocker, huh?

Of course sex isn't everything though. And that's why you have it's cousin, Violence. Genocide in Africa, war in Iraq, protests over China's treatment of the Tibetans, Korea still at war. Oh yeah, and did you know that in parts of Asia, the Caribbean, and India they are killing over rice? Yup that sounds like it would prosper, "So you think human blood makes good fertilizer? Maybe it makes it taste better." Or maybe they'll just call it red rice and be good.

It amazes me how people can look past this, I mean it's as if this major thing is somehow part of the underground. It's not, it's happening right in front of them, on the news and everything. Wait, I have to take care of something. Let me yank out those headphones to your iWhateverthefuckitis and dismantle your fancy laptop. Maybe then you'll listen. That's why people are blind to all this, because yea it's in the news, but it becomes almost a back-burner story when the next big techie thing comes out. Or possibly the newest game, and don't even start and tell me it's the content that is in the game, because if you are, just shove it. Fuck that, it can be about pinatas and lasers, if it's the popular thing then yes. I wasn't talking about the content being the distraction, I was talking about the game being a game that people get hyped up for is the distraction.

It amazes me that we spend so much time and knowledge to try and make the next weapon (iRobot and MetalStorm just developed a robot mounted super-gun. And if you wish, just look up newest military weapons, quite the list. [In the defense of the military though, they are developing some pretty awesome stuff too, like City in a Box]) I mean I should complain, it's how the world goes round right? I mean we wouldn't even be in space had it not been for the Cold War and to make sure that the Soviet Union doesn't rain death from space.

Read it or not, whatever, fuck that.

The cost of a human heart...

...must be pretty expensive nowadays, seeing as very little of society still has theirs. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that it is the fault of each individual, I mean there are sitches where you just no longer can trust humanity and stuff. However, I do blame corporations, those who run the government, and of course people like the couple who put up the blog, Two Million Dollar Baby, because it creates an umbrella effect and in turn it breaks the economy, which in turn corrupts society.

How does it do that, you may be asking yourself? Well, from people like the couple of the unborn Two Million Dollar Baby (wow, just so the couple knows, I think the only person in history besides you guys who held unborn children willingly hostage was a nice guy by the name of Adolf Hitler) it frustrates people and causes them to lose faith in humanity as a whole, therefore they give less to those who actually need it if they even still give to them at all.

However, I cannot allow myself to place wholly the blame on them. And that is for the mere fact that the reason these conniving culprits would pull such a stunt, is because of how corporations run their companies caring only about one thing, how they can accumulate profits and cut the costs of doing so. Now I'm not saying all corporations do that, I mean they're are some that actually care about others (if someone says Wal-Mart, then you deserved to be pummeled for that simple reason) but most of them are still new companies that are being trampled, oh I'm sorry, the nice words the beasts of the industry like to use are partnership, merge, consolidate, and takeover. These companies breath life only for it to be taken from those major corporations that rather not see their good deeds be rewarded.

I mean they don't want competition now, do they? And when a business is providing the same thing you are at cheaper, healthier, kinder, gentler, just overall better than you, then why not just "take them under your wing" (read as buy them out) and let them keep there name, so that your not a monopoly but rather a "competitive" powerhouse. You see it's a win-win situation; for corporate evil that is. They still get money whether you hate them or love them.

Any who, I have made a proposal. Ok, so you don't really have to take it seriously, since I pretty much put it up as a satirical response to all the unspeakable evils that have caused the price of the human heart (emotionally speaking, not like a physical human heart) to skyrocket. However, I put up a Help Evil be Arbitrarily Trampled Fund, yeah the H.E.A.R.T. Fund if you will, that pretty much has no limit and ends in a year from now (since that is the longest I could do it for). It's going to be money I'll will use to fund those who actually need it, and who are well deserving of it. Oh like for example something like Philip DeFranco's PKD Fund.

The only reason I put it up is because the Two Million Dollar Baby Fund actually has 6 contributors and has raised like 20 something dollars. I don't think that is a good cause, and to be honest those who contributed, I hope you send them counterfeit bills so they can be sent to jail, where they will be forced to put their child up for adoption.

Games are bad because they imitate real life...

...is pretty much what a lot of people are saying. Case in point, the controversy surrounding GTA IV and just about any and all FPS's. It makes me sick, really.

Which is funny, because at the same time the media is getting more and more graphic itself with depictions of war, violence, crime, and all sorts of things. Oh, but let's make an attempt to sugar coat things, shall we?

Yea, if you find that as stupid as I do, then good. Ok seriously you can even stop people from watching the news, but face it, real life is flooded with violence, it's flooded with corruption, and it's just downright crude. For example, just the other day my friend got on a bus with a guy that had a gun simply sitting on his lap. More example you say? Just a concentrated case you say? Ok, here's more real life stuff, hen I was walking around town there have been several instances where I have had racial slurs screamed at me, cursed at, and hell once or twice (granted this was early in the morning) I have actually been grabbed, and had it not been for my spiked cuffs, I would have actually had to fight someone.

So seriously, your not doing your children a favor. If anything, your softening them up to become the next victims. And don't even get me started by trying to defend your points by saying, "If all parents start doing what we are doing, then we won't have to worry about toughening up our children," or saying stuff like, "This is exactly why we should eliminate the violent game epidemic," you might as well also try buckling down on art, television, media, oh wait, you already try to do that too.

Just stop wasting your time, and work with the industry instead of trying to become their greatest adversary, in turn becoming there best asset, because it is almost 100% human nature to do something that they being told not to. Does everyone remember the story of Adam and Eve and the Forbidden Fruit? Exactly.


Whatev, you keep doing what your doing if you seriously, in your convoluted mind, seriously are making a difference, or you know you just like trying to be an authoritative figure, then go ahead and keep doing what your doing. I know in a way, as long as you don't attempt to get them all out banned, the game industry thanks you. I mean you make more people want it more because all the ranting and raving, look at Manhunt 2. So much controversy that it sold a lot of copies it's first week. Of course, then everyone found out how horrid the game actually was, and then sales began to plummet.

Smile for the camera :)
