stop eating people

a few years back ted turner said some shit like, 'in the near future, people will eat each other.' and when he said it, not many people paid attention. sure, mostly cuz he's ted turner and no one pays attention to ted turner in the first place... but there were the few who did hear what he had to say and immediately mocked him for such a silly proclamation.

and now look what's going on. people are eating people and it's all up in the news. and everyone's talking about it. and that's fucked up cuz we all know how much it pisses off kim kardashian and kanye when we're not all talking about them. it's almost like this sudden burst of cannibalism is some sorta backlash towards the mind numbing decay of our society.

i can't be the only one who sees reality tv and celebrity magazines and thinks, 'shit, this is some kinda moral decaying of society right here.' we live in a time where no one gives you shit for saying something like, 'i'm not really into politics.' no one seems to give a fuck about politics... in fact, no one seems to give a fuck about anything... or anything important.

for the most part, the majority of our focus is in all the wrong places. we're all paying attention to well off celebrities and could give less than a fuck about our neighbor and in fact probably try to avoid contact with them. everything's turning to shit all around us but it's okay cuz we're gonna live to see next week's episode of celebrities baking cupcakes.

so if we choose to collectively ignore what's important, eventually society decays. when society decays, people do awful stuff. homeless people get mugged, beaten, and murdered all the time. it unfortunately happens. but now, now they get their face eaten off in the process as well? that's horror movie material. that's something you see in a horror movie and say to yourself reassuringly, 'that could never happen in real life.' AND IT DID! and the dude who did it was naked which throws a whole new twist of 'holy horrible fuck' into the whole thing.

and ever since then, all i see and hear are stories of people doing really awful shit. in just a little over a week i've read stories of people tearing other people's hearts out or ripping out their own intestines and throwing them at cops.

this is all really awful shit. why are people suddenly going off the deep end and ripping out organs and eating each other? is reality tv really to blame? where's ted turner when we need him? my guess is playing cards with harold camping and al gore in his underground doomsday shelter which i'm sure he's been highly made fun of for purchasing. but who's laughing now?
