    I tried. I can't watch it.

    It feels like those tours that the victorian educated classes used to take of mental institutes and asylums. It makes for uncomfortable viewing.

    The fact that most of his targets are trusted by thousands, possibly millions of US citizens to deliver them the best and most appropriate solutions is just fucking mind boggling. Part of me feels that its unfair and exploitative, the other part of me thinks that all that he's doing is shinning a light into the corners of a very broken society.

    • Sometimes, Baskerville. Sometimes he just takes advantage of ignorance - re: making rodeo crowd sing 'kazak anthem', 'throw the jew down the well'detritus
    • MS, I don't know that you should lighten up - I just don't think he's exploiting these people. They knew they were being recorded, so it's hard to sympathize...ben_
    • ..for me, anyhow.ben_
    • I personally can't get enough of total cunt's like Jason Spencer being shown up...see_thru
