North Amerikans get serious about politics
Sept 12, 3:15 EST--For the second day in a row, the Kanada-based NakedNews suspended its newscasts with naked announcers at nakednews.com. The web site advised people to tune into television and radio broadcasts.
Somehow it was easy for North Amerikans to enjoy openly pornographic newscasts when the people dying in the news were in the West Bank or northern Korea, so easy, that nakednews.com became the top news source for males in the 18-34 age group. Now that the news would be covering dying in New York and Washington, D.C., the pornography/bourgeois news industry pulls the plug.
Meanwhile, in sports, the headlines all read how baseball and football games have been postponed. The September 12 USA Today web page includes a headline reading "Lopresti: Ballparks sit empty in nation with its soul ripped out."
MIM points out to the North Amerikan citizens that it is better late than never to come to grips with global violence, but if it was indecent for NakedNews to make money off the World Trade Center bombing, it was also indecent for it to make money off deaths of Palestinians in the West Bank. Furthermore, Israelis have bombed several Palestinian buildings and turned them into rubble and we did not see the USA Today say, "ballparks sit empty in nation with its soul ripped out."
The belief that the lives of one nation's citizens are somehow more valuable than another nation's citizens is something called "national chauvinism." National chauvinism is a general problem that has to be eradicated for a peaceful world to exist, and that is only possible under communism.
