I just saw Diane Lane's latest movie: "Untraceable". Regular movie, but interesting subject. In www.imdb.com (a must stop before watching any movie...international movie data base)the tagline says: "A cyber killer has finally found the perfect accomplice: You."
It's quite sick but sadly, very believable. A few people are kidnapped (one at a time)and slowly killed in very cruel ways, this being transmitted LIVE on the web. The more people that go into the site, the faster the person dies. And this being publicly known, people still go into the site and watch.
I know this could easily happen. In Guatemala, and probably everywhere. Every time there's a car accident traffic gets crazy mainly because people stop to watch or drive by insanely slow. There appears to be something disgusting and yet fascinating about blood and human suffering/cruelty.
I've had friends recommend and send me via e-mail videos of people being killed, Iraqis being tortured and executed, US soldiers being murdered by young boys...all sorts and levels of cruelty and inhumanity, that people are interested in watching, some would even pay for it.
CRAZY!!! Why would anyone want to watch anything like it??? I can't understand.
