Asking Someone Who Knows (ted bundy)

THE DAY BEFORE HE DIED, convicted serial killer ted bundy talked about the reasons why he had become a self described monster. If memory serves, bundy kidnapped, murdered, sexually violated, then carved up his victims, or something horrible and ghoulish like that. He talked about the influence of violence and sex in the media on him, how he was fascinated with both from early childhood, maintained his interest, and put the two together later on in his acting out of his obsessions with sex and violence. Our capitalistic culture, particulalry the entertainment part of it, which is a big part, uses sex and violence to hook the public and maintain an audiencesell products, and make a profit, aka corporate capitalism. It works like a charm. But indications are that it may also have detrimental effects on society in general, encouraging preoccupation with violence and sex, and acting out. In other words, the marketing industry within american corporate capitalism uses sex and violence to sell, which encourages and increases negative consequences for society, in reality. Bundy himself pointed out how amazed he was that society in general was horrified with his crimes, and found them digusting, while at the same time producing and popularly digesting a huge amount of the same sort of images in the general entertainment culture, in television and movies especially. American society loves vicarious violence and pornographic sex, but finds it disgusting when such violence really happens, as if there is no tconnection between the two. So much for the liberal argument that gun crimes are caused by guns. They are caused by cultural indoctrination. In other words, by the propaganda, (entertainment) wing of the ruling corporate oligarchy, aka our "corporate masters". According to ted bundy, who should certainly know, every violent criminal in prison is a pornography addict. All of the ones he met were. Gun crimes are caused by people who have been brainwashed by popular culture to believe, subconsciously, that violence and sex are connected, and worth seeking. Just ask ted bundy.
