Enjoyment in viewing YouTube videos which display Consumerism at it's worst...

...doesn't make you a better Progressive/Democrat.

That makes you an asshole.

1. Think I will go get some popcorn and watch Consumer carnage videos

Maybe "Hunger Games" and the movie it ripped off "Battle Royale"

Gladitorial Games in whatever form, have a long tradition in human civilization.

Same deal as to why people slow down to look at car wrecks.

It's part of human nature.

11. ...lol

2. Glad you're the arbiter of what makes someone an a__hole. What does that make you?

3. I think it's fun watching watching the peasants being pitted against each other.

Especially over TVs and Xboxs and other shiny things we've convinced them they need at low low prices. Dance, puppets!

4. It's not so much enjoyment as it is fascination...

I see future historians using these clips in the same way that we use depictions of slavery today. It says much about who we are and where we're at right now.

5. Some people love to look down

their noses at others. Makes them feel better about themselves.

6. passing judgement on others doesnt make you .... eh you know the rest

[babydollhead]

7. sometimes, "people slipping on ice" you tubes are funny to me

I don't enjoy these "underbelly of the masses" videos, of "shoppers gone wild" it chills me. it makes me think this, "GET ME OUT OF HERE!!" But I watch them. just like I watched the tsunami videos
There was a movie where people get "the rage". and the way rage was depicted was like grunts and snorts and crouching. That is not what rage looks like. Rage is pumped up and spoon fed to the masses. It explodes with gunfire on an hourly basis. We've lost our attention span and we've lost our compassion. to the extreme.

8. ah, like how POWM is an oligarchic plot to undermine the Dems

[Nye Bevan]

9. Not enjoyment.

More a sobering and cautionary reminder of the ugly side of human nature.

[Habibi]

12. I won't say that it makes you an asshole,

but I don't understand the glee, personally.
