CE_Mikemonster Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 If I was a member of one of the peoples families I would have that video removed. Appropriate as a memorial perhaps at a private event, but most people watching will see it as little more than a 5 minute 'drama' that excites their emotions, only to forget about when the next video is clicked on. I'm sorry, but that's the YouTube 'culture' and I feel this video (when posted online), is actually de-sensetising, and will contribute to the 'war porn' culture. A bit like how I don't feel [extreme] strong emotions when starving African children are on the news - Having grown up with it unfortunatley it doesn't affect me as strongly as it should do (and I acknowledge that and it sickens me). Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T
