This may seem too overwhelming for some. It really is extremely violent. One reader referred to it as one of the “most egregious acts done to technology in the 21st century.” You are about to witness the persuasive death of the world’s most beloved tube through an ax. I confess: this was hard to watch, listen, and watch a couple more times. Entertainment comes through the most bizarre acts. I have a profound admiration for Neil Postman. I understand the addiction of amusing ourselves to death. But not even Postman would propose such violence. Watch. At the end realize that this brief paragraph was meant as a sort of warning. Wives: do not let your husbands see this video!
I’m glad to know there’s such a simple solution to sin. Not having a TV already, now
I know I just have to cancel the Internet and our whole family will be sinless in no time.
All humor aside, this type of simplicity is the opposite of what our Lord demands of us. As Randy Booth puts it, “we need to de-mythologize our children’s love of sexualized entertainment.”
Uri, you don’t do that sort of thing on a regular basis? We have TV smashing between the Prayer of the Church and the Supper.
I think it makes a strong, good, point and I don’t really think it was at all disturbing as had been suggested.
