Cobb notes (quite rightly) that no one should link to the Berg video.
It's funny....I'd never even thought about seeing it. Not even for a second. Kind of like The Passion.
I am probably one of the few writers not reading blogs on a regular basis. So I have absolutely no sense of the numbers here. How many bloggers have linked to it? How many have seen it?
Out of that number...how many of them are black? I don't think black people have an "anti-voyeurism gene" at all. We're as voyeuristic as the rest of the country. I do think that black people on average have a different perspective on "real-life" violence, from the rest of America (on average). And perhaps because this type of thing is something many of us would have predicted given our (on average) distaste for Bush, many of us are like "there's nothing to see here."
As I've said regarding The Passion...no need for me to see it. I know this story. I know how it ends.
