Coraz wiecej wkurzonych ludzi na swiecie, nie myslcie ze Polska ma monopol na frustratow, o nie! Powoli i nieuchronnie staje sie jednym z nich. Niektorzy z was, zwlaszcza ci ktorzy mnie znaja, powiedza, "starzeje sie chlopisko". Inni dorzuca, "czepia sie bo pewno coraz mu trudniej zaciagnac kobiete do lozka". Z pewnoscia, te komentarze troskliwie wypowiedziane, moga odzwierciedlac rzeczywistosc. Ja jednak uparcie wierze, ze gdzie indziej jest pies pogrzebany. Od dawna nawiedzaly mnie te mysli, ktore nieobce sa ludziom rozsianym po calym swiecie. Mysli o tym ze nie wszystko jest w najlepszym stanie, jezeli chodzi o sposob w jaki puste i glosne wzory pop kultury sa przepychane przez media i przez nosniki rozrywki pod falszywymi pretensjami ze to jest wlasnie to czego ludzie chca. Ja nigdy tej papki nie chcialem, i nie znam wielu posrod znajomych ktorzy sie tym produktem dostarczanym masowo przez branze rozrywki badz media delektowali badz produktu tego zadali. W jaki wiec sposob kontrolujacy i zarzadzajacy mediami i branza rozrywkowa wiedza ze typ i rodzaj rozrywki jest przez nas naprawde chciany czy lubiany? Czy to jest kwestia czego widownia czy odbiorca chce, czy tez kwestia tego co widownia i odbiorca powinni chciec w mniemaniu wlascicieli i decydentow branzy rozrywkowej, czy tez krytykow od siedmiu bolesci, zatrudnionych przez media masowe w celu ksztaltowania gustow widowni. Jezeli nie jest to kwestia naszych autentycznych pragnien i upodoban, lecz tkwestia tego co powinnismy chciec i lubic, w percepcji wlascicieli i decydentow branzy rozrywkowej czy masowych mediow, to oznacza ze media i decydenci branzy rozrywkowej manipuluja widownia i odbiorca, czyli mna i toba, maluczkimi odbiorcami kultury masowej, i naszymi potrzebami, gustami, marzeniami i pragnieniami, zebysmy zaakceptowali product, ktory nam oferuja, i ktory nie ma nic wspolnego z naszymi rzeczywistymi potrzebami czy gustami. I jezeli tak sie dzieje, manipulacja naszych potrzeb, gustow, marzen i pragnien staje sie co najmniej podejrzana. Dlaczego wlasciciele i decydenci mediow masowych i branzy rozrywkowej robia wszystko aby widownia, my, maluczcy na dole, zaakceptowali nieustanna przemoc w powiesciach, filmach czy tekstach piosenek, wypaczanie sensu milosci i przedstawianie seksu pelnego przemocy, perwersji i dewiacji, tworzenie filmow tak bezsensownych jak Transformers, itd., robienie i pokazywanie glupich i pustych programow typu reality show, opartych czesto na pustych celebrytach typu siostry Kardashian, itp.. Dlaczego tego typu rozrywka jest nam dostarczana, kiedy jest jasne i oczywiste ze atakuje ona to co jest piekne i dobre w nas, czy spoleczenstwie, i my wszyscy mozemy zaswiadczyc ze nasza jazn czy dusza nie potrzebuje i nie pragnie tego rodzaju rozrywki. Tak jak czesto oburza mnie bezsensowna albo sztywna polityczna poprawnosc, przynajmniej moge zrozumiec ze ta ostatnia czesto chroni ludzi od fanatyzmu, ostracyzmu, zwyklej krzywdy, itd. Ale jakim celom sluzy rozrywka ktora wlasciciele i decydenci branzy rozrywkowej i mediow chca nam sprzedac? Zwlaszcza ze jej nie potrzebujemy, nie sprawia nam ona zadnej przyjemnosci ani nie dostarcza zadnych doznan artystycznych. Czy Hollywood i przemysl filmowy kiedykolwiek przeprosil rodziny ofiar masowych mordow, jak np. w Liceum Columbine, w kinie w Aurora (na przedmiesciu Denver), w szkole w Newtown, Conecticut, w Politechnice Virginia Tech i w dziesiatkach innych szkol, uniwersytetow, kin, urzedow pocztowych czy supermarketow w USA? Czy decydenci Hollywood i przemyslu filmowego kiedykolwiek probowali przeanalizowac i przedyskutowac zmiany w ukazywaniu przemocy czy jej ograniczenie w filmach pokazywanych nastolatkom? Czy ciagle sa pewni ze pokazywanie gustownych scen milosnych jest duzo bardziej szkodlliwe niz ciagla przemoc w filmach? Czy repertuar kin musi sie uginac pod ciezarem filmow o wampirach, wilkolakch, itp.? Oczywiscie, nie. Prosze wiec, oswieccie mnie, jakie sa prawdziwe cele tworzonych przez was gustow i dostarczanej przez was rozrywki?

THE BATMAN MASSACRE: WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED ABOUT OURSELVES?
Another random massacre, and another opportunity to do something about gun laws, appear to be as good as gone. What is happening to America? Is this how the modern society resolves its social pathologies? What kind of an animal a man of 21st century is about to become? Where do we go from here? Does anybody care about random violence anymore? Do we still remember Fort Hood, Texas massacre in 2009, Northern Illinois University massacre in 2008, Virginia Tech University massacre in 2007 or the one near Aurora: Columbine High School massacre in 1999? Was anything done about the roots of any of them?
The usual suspects such as entertainment industry, media, politicians and gun industry, with its chief client and advocate, National Rifle Association, have lost another opportunity to do something meaningful about the exposure of American society to random violence. The new thread, characteristic to the Aurora shooting, was an PR offensive undertaken by Hollywood and entertainment industry (one of the main culprits and inspirators for the random shooters) in aftermath of the batman massacre, in particular the series of statements issued by Warner Brothers, and all the stars associated with "The Dark Knight Rises" production. Imagine, the community at large "held their collective breath" waiting for Christian Bale or Jason Gordon-Levitt's nuggets of wisdom (LOL!). Not better were politicians, i.e. John Hickenlooper, the governor of the State of Colorado who wasted no time in stupidly defending gun control laws, or, rather, a lack of them, and indirectly defending NRA interests. Not better were mayor of Aurora, Steve Hogan, and its Chief of Police, Dan Oates, or New York City Commissioner of Police, Raymond W. Kelly. All of these officials seem to propagate a stupid belief, which they repeat like a mantra, that freedom to purchase arms would not have stopped the batman massacre or that it would not have limited its monstrosity or its size. Comme on! Have some decency! It is shocking to any human mind that there are people who advocate total freedom in acquisition of arms and consider 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, granting an uninfringed right to keep and bear arms, to be holly and unassailable. Don't you know that people created laws and people can change them? How long can America cling to something created in 1791, when semi-automatic or automatic guns were not invented yet. Times change, things change, people change. Imagine how much good the nay sayers could have achieved in redirecting their energy and money towards the real causes of the shooting, instead of protecting themselves and their profits through PR schemes. The modern society with its hierarchy of values is obviously full of pathologies. The man of 21st century seems to be lost among various forces attacking his psyche, the chief among them being a God of materialism and consumerism, propagated by the masters of finance, utilizing such servants as media and entertainment industry.
