I'm profoundly sensitive to them and hate 'em.<br /><br />Satire on TV is very engaging and useful, but unless one is aware and somewhat wise emough to get the joke it may do more harm tham good. That's why I realized many years back that I should NOT let my adolescent kids watch The Simpsons, even tho' it was my fav show!<br /><br />What I don't get is the seeming popularity of gruesome torture in movies. How can this be enjoyable in anyway along the lines of the horror genre, or the refined aesthetic of the "grotesque?"<br /><br />How can it be anything other than desensitizing of our humanity to take a prolonged, heightened experience, and be forced to identify either with the brutal power figure, or the powerless victim?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
