I think the most horrific thing I've ever seen
is this:

www.imdb.com/title/tt0225679/ (SFW)

It's not the content that I find objectionable, although I undoubtedly would if I ever watched them I'm sure, but it's the idea that someone actually sits there and edits all this fucking stuff together, then makes money off it.

Now, those on here who know me know I'm no prude, nor am I particularly squeamish, and am about as far removed for a sensitive shy retiring type as you can get. That Harlequin baby stuff, although awful, really has no emotional effect on me whatsoever. Life can be pretty shitty to people sometimes, thats just the way it is. At one point in time I was diagnosed as being pretty much entirely devoid of empathy. But something about this video makes me fill with such an unquenchable, relentless hatred for mankind. The notion that there are people who ENJOY watching this stuff makes me so utterly ashamed to be a human being it's not even funny.

Tragedy does not elicit a particularly emotional response from me, but i certainly don't fucking enjoy it, unlike the sick cunts who make/buy these videos. I have seen things in life I wish I hadn't seen, and I am fortunate enough to have led a somewhat untraumatic life. I'm certainly glad that some of the stories in this QOTW happened to other people and not me, but via the internet I have seen some extremely gruesome and graphic things, and it was enough to convince me that I didn't want to see any more.

I can understand that people have a morbid curiosity about death that makes them search out things like this video. It's that same curiosity that made me look at that shit to begin with. But what really really makes me fucking sick to the stomach is that people exploit this for money. I mean, fuck, that is beyond low; to exploit the horrific deaths of others for profit.

It's things like this that make me utterly depressed about being a human being. The things we are capable of just staggers me, and this is just one in a long line of things that makes me sick to my stomach.

I can read about historic accounts of the holocaust and it has no effect on me. Maybe it's because I've been brought up in a media rich desensitized atmosphere. Maybe it's because it happened in the past. Maybe it's because my miniscule brain just can't comprehend death on such a incredulous scale. But when it's tragic isolated incidents, filmed and edited, packaged and produced, that bothers me. It bothers me in a way that makes me want to find the nearest assault weapon and hunt these people down. It bothers me in a way that makes me want to inflict the kind of pain the people in these videos must have felt upon them. It bothers me in a way that makes me utterly ashamed of our entire fucking species. If you think I'm over-reacting, read the user comments on IMDB.

The things some people are capable of make me want to fucking erupt. Fuck humankind for all it's worth.
