Anything in this culture that stands still long enough eventually becomes okay if a person can derive an income from it. Eventually, pay-per-view public execution will happen, and it will be half-time entertainment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the future, torture will once again become the recreational sport of the rich.
People will pay more to be entertained than educated.
The sixty-minute drama form has become very rich.
Crime dramas will never go away as long as people turn to television for, among other things, reassurance and comfort.
This is government. There is no entertainment.
Governments that use violence to stop democratic development will not earn themselves respite forever. They will pay an increasingly high price for actions which they can no longer hide from the world with ease, and will find themselves on the wrong side of history.
It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene.
People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead.
Getting direct consumer revenue through movies or games or other culture products is something that we are very suitable for.
Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.
