Great video. A related personal anecdote: when I was a senior in high school, I read Philip Gourevitch's "..We Will Be Killed Tomorrow: Stories from Rwanda," a book on the Rwandan genocide of 1994 and the aftermath (500,000 - 1.2 million people were killed in 3 months). This really got me interested in politics. Eventually, while helping my brother move out of his apartment, I saw that his girlfriend had a big collection of old TIME magazines. They covered the entire 1994 year. So I looked through them to read through the coverage of the Rwandan genocide and was amazed at how little there was. I then compared it to how much coverage was given to video games and found that video games were given more coverage than the genocide. Even though I was (and am) a huge fan of video games, I was disgusted by this gap. No doubt there are many reasons for this gap, but there is also no doubt that one of those reasons is market economics: demand for Rwandan news coverage by Americans was low, and thus supply was as well.

Ever since then, I've been convinced market rules of economics (supply and demand) are immoral when applied to things such as the media. Ideas, such as compassion, should not be bought and sold to people in the same ways a hamburger or a video game are. There needs to be a better way. My personal belief is that we need more democratic media in this country and in the entire world, something that gives the majority of the human race, no matter their economic status, a voice and way to be heard.

If you've agreed with me so far, I'm sure what I have to say next may change that. There needs to be a way to force people to listen, to a certain extent. In the same way that we require people to pay taxes and get a basic education, to learn history here in the USA, and we use the force of the law to do so, we need to be willing to require people to give time to those voices of the world. I think there needs to be mandatory education for our entire lives on such subjects like history and politics. It may be oppressive to have the government force people to learn about global current events, but it was also "oppressive" to force our children to learn about the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. But we agreed that such a requirement was for the greater good. And so I'm saying that forced learning about subjects, even perhaps the religions and ideologies of our enemies, is also for the greater good. And I'm also not saying such government-influenced education would replace the market driven "education." It would be a competing alternative. And as capitalists say, competition is good.

Best Onion News Network video is the Bomb New York one

Ack, creepy shrimp from Beeteljuice movie!

MLK would be sickened to know that Ron Paul is using his name for Paul's capitalist agenda. MLK was a democratic socialist who had very serious criticisms of capitalism. MLK was a huge supporter of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (obviously). Ron Paul opposes the Civil Rights Act.

Ron Paul on gays, blacks, and Jews.

Ron Paul: Democracy is not freedom http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul233.html.

The text says something like: Outsourcing represents change. Change is difficult but outsourcing is beneficial to both developing and developed countries. (I don't know if the video supports that message, though, since it implies that capitalist bosses are benefiting, while everyone else is kinda being ripped off.)

And yes, the Simpsons is animated in Korea. The Simpsons movie credits' showed all the Korean workers on it, which I thought was cool since we don't get to see their names in the TV show credits.

Frikkin' chimps.

I was expecting Superman to shoot Lois with his laser vision, followed with an explosion. I love explosions I guess.

He might've thought that it was a possible escape route, then decided against it though

Ron Paul supporters aren't supposed to force people to do anything like they did in this video, it goes against the Libertarian creed. Say no to big government and gate keepers in Team Fortress 2!

I laughed but I also thought of Schindler's List.. and that scene in Rambo.. and 28 Months Later..

Boy card read good!

Woah, that's both hilarious and disturbing at the same time. Call of Duty 4: Mow down hundreds of Middle Easterners and Eastern Europeans while rag time music plays!
