I am so fucking pissed right now. The cocksuckers from the channel 7 news and whoever is above them are fucking retarded. This is what happened. Right now I am watching the news, and the announcer reported that a new video from Iraq has been released. It is of a marine shooting a wounded Iraqi opposition soldier. The assholes warned me that what I am about to see and hear might be disturbing. Wow, LoL, LoL, LoL
1. EVERYTHING THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH WAR IS DISTURBING, to one or another.
2. When they showed the video, the motherfuckers showed the beginning where the cameraman entered the room and was filming the dead bodies. When s/he turned to see what the soldiers were yelling about and for the soldier to shoot the wounded they blacked out the screen. WHAT THE FUCK? War is war, it is about blood and many other disturbing things. I wanted to see him shoot that guy.*
I am fucking pissed because if You assholes are going to tell me that I am about to see something disturbing, I BETTER be seeing something disturbing. All I saw was a black screen, a guy screaming: “Watch out, watch out! He is still alive.”, followed by a gun shot. When the picture came back, they showed the soldiers standing above some other man, who was laying on the ground and kind of moving. No idea if it was the same person, who was shot and in his dieing moments, or someone else.
Well FUCK YOU very much, whoever thought that some gun fire might be more disturbing than the exquisite effects poring out of Hollywood special effects studios. We have kids that have not even entered their teenage years that have seen, heard or participated in more disturbing things. That is if you can call footage of one soldier shooting another soldier disturbing. I guarantee it that it did not come close to the shit that people are exposed on daily base by our internal events.
Some may argue that – Oh, but we know that is just special effects.– Listen asshole, where do you think they got the fucking idea for the effects? Real life events are not that extensive. Yes, they can be more emotionally moving, but I think that the majority of people who have been exposed to the media are already numbed by the repetitive, negative daily news. News, which are re-reported / re-broadcasted 5 or 6 times-a-day.
I could go on about other things that are easily associated with the current situation, but I will not. I am going back to working on PhP code and yelling at the stupidity, I am exposed to through the TeleVision.

* Some might say that there is something wrong with me. Nope, there is not too much wrong with me. Only common sense, balls that tend to cling, informed, opinionated, non-censored view of the World and society.
UPDATE: 1:24 A.M.
Another news program just reported on the same video footage. Apparently news programs on national level are more intelligent than the local ones. The news announcer did not give any warning, simply as the video was going he reported what was happening and what was about to happen then he said: “Here this scene is edited!” Now how simple was that?
I would give the benefit of the doubt to the previous announcer, the one from the local news. It is possibly he did not know what the station was going to broadcast to the viewers, and simply gave a standard warning message.
