The Entertainment Universe

The Entertainment Universe

     You are walking down a crowded street on a gloomy evening when you come
upon a mass of people listening intently to the preaching of a man. The man has
an up-side-down cross branded on his forehead.  He is screeching his recitation
at the people in a demented angry voice.  His lessons consist of the following:

          Pathetic lives, every second someone
          dies.  Delightful is the sight of
          repention.  No destiny, just a certain
          death.  In pain inducing lies salvation.
          Never repent...
          In the name of Satan I condemn this
          image of god...
          All christians are destroyed.  Unguided
          by the light.  The Satanist rejoice.
          Revocate me!...  Revocate the
          agitator.1

     Perhaps most disturbing about the situation is the look of utter
devotion many of the young people in the crowd have in their eyes.  They believe
this mans thoughts and ideas and look to him for guidance.
     As the intensity of the situation elevates the mass of people begin to
violently slam into each other in a chaotic ceremonial dance.  The purpose of
the dance is to cause and endure as much physical pain as possible.  The dance
eventually gets so extreme that a young man in the crowd snaps his neck and dies.

     The man does not stop his ravings and the crowd doesn't stop their dance.
Instead the man becomes entirely deranged, screaming at the body of the young
man that he is now going to hell where he rot in flames of agony for eternity.
The crowd roars and the man laughs.
     What do you suppose would now transpire?  At the very least the man and
the crowd would be arrested.  More than likely there would be several charges of
third degree murder laid, certainly with several convictions. The preacher would
most likely be taken to a hospital for a psychological examination, be diagnosed
a paranoid schizophrenic, and be placed into an institution for the criminally
insane for the rest of his life.
     The event described above did occur, the man recounted does exist and
the ritual dance and corresponding death did transpire.  However, no charges
were pressed, no psychological evaluations were made, the victim was simply
given a funeral and the matter was dropped.
     The account above was able to occur because it took place in a universe
completely apart from that of the civil universe - the entertainment universe.
In the entertainment universe their is practically no law and no limitation.
Anything and everything goes.  Rape, murder, graphic torture scenes, child
molestation, all this and more are a common theme.  The discourse of the artists
is exhibited to the mass populace in mov...This is ONLY a preview of the article. If you would like to view the entire document, you must subscribe to Electronic References. Please register below now!
