Y'all watch those shows on TV with names like "Most Incredible Videos" and "Amazing Moments Cpatured on Tape"? There's a ton of them. I'm concerned. It all started out with "crazy stunts", amid the ever present consumer admonition "Folks, don't try this at home, hehe." But lately, I see all kinds of clips of people really getting hurt and there are lots of images of human bodies in horrible condition on prime-time TV. I'm worried this trend is going to continue... just like we needed to keep adding X's to adult material -- the collective attention is becoming jaded by these images. The sight of physical human tragedy is shrinking in its effect upon us. The digital realm is only confusing things even further. On the fake side, things are looking more and more real. And then the real stuff is just blending right in on our monitors and screens. They say that video games don't really make kids kill. I believe that, but I believe that there is an effect, that something is being lost.
