You know what our generation needs? Shadowy, secretive, truely evil men who are destroying society.


You ever walk down the street, and see facets of American culture that just make you be ashamed to be human? You know what I mean. That bulk of society born and raised by American media. Thank God MTV makes its culture easy to pidgeonhole, at least; could you imagine what it would be like if they acted like decent, acceptable human beings? Christ, they could be anywhere. Like the agents in the Matrix, you know? God, it's enough to make you shudder.

And it's not just today's youth, who were raised on MTV and BET. You know as well as I do that next year's brats are already being prepared, suckling at the tits of that vapid media subculture: Dora the Explorer, or another favorite, The Wild Thornberries. (Did you know that every other culture on the planet is actually just an American culture with our same beliefs and values? I know, isn't that crazy? Who ever knew that every other value system is actually just a misunderstanding!)

God, it's enough to make me sick. Don't you just wish that there was a single, malevolent man responsible for this? A single figure, whom you could hold up next to Stalin, and the Devil, and hate with that very deep, black part of your heart?

Yeah. Me, too.


National Amusement
A privately owned media and entertainment company, NA is currently run by Sumner Redstone, who owns 80% of the company. The other 20% is held by his daughter. I’m guessing that right behind an enslaved Santa Clause and the island of Cuba, it was the best birthday gift ever.

National Amusements currently owns the controlling voting interests in the following companies.

“On May 21, Viacom entered into a 50-50 joint venture with Indian media company Global Broadcast News to form Viacom-18 which will house Viacom's existing channels in India - MTV, VH1 and Nick as well as Network 18's Bollywood movie business. All future Viacom content for India and new ventures such as a Hindi entertainment channel and a Hindi movie channel would be housed in this JV.” – Do not get up in arms based off of that, it’s just a Wiki quote. You’re expected to do your own research.
