Shooting the messenger - media is to blame for everything
2006-Jun-08, Thursday 00:26Conservative party leader "Dave" Cameron:
Shoot the messenger Dave, shoot the messenger.
Why do people constantly blame an entertainment medium instead of look at the actual idiots committing the offenses? By Dave's logic, I'm a psychotic mass murderer by now, maybe I should give in to all this stuff and actually go nuts on a killing rampage?
Cheap, attention grabbing gimmicks. That's all we get these days, from either of the big two. Oh, wait, the LibDems do it as well. Hang on, I liked that one.
"I would say to Radio 1, do you realise that some of the stuff you play on Saturday nights encourages people to carry guns and knives?", said Mr Cameron.Yup.. Definately. And listening to Marilyn Mansun makes me a high-school shooter, my Bodycount albums have persuaded me killing cops is fun, watching Pulp Fiction makes me a heroin user, watching Child's Play will turn me into a baby killer.
Shoot the messenger Dave, shoot the messenger.
