[Your television goes static for less than one second, no matter what you're watching.] [Voice-over overlaps with several cruel and brutal videos and photographs from recent history. Footage from each of these that has survived is played, even the goriest of them. "Ladies, children, sheep. I would apologize for interrupting whatever shallow drivel you're watching to fill your meaningless lives, but I don't care. Here is your first lesson. Wounded Knee. Japanese Internment Camps. Birmingham Children's March. The Trail of Tears. My Lai Massacre. Pakistani Drone Attacks. No Gun Ri Massacre. Moro Crater "Incident." Hiroshima. Nagasaki. What do they all have in common? Find out the answer to all of these and more next time. See you soon." |
