that kind of statement has been done before-- cannibal holocaust came out in the 80s i think. then there was that movie where cronenberg makes a cameo, what's it called, the van zant movie w/ nicole kidman-- to die for-- in the 90s-- complete with TV-related speech. or, what's the one w/ sonic youth, the french one-- demonlover. or videodrome-- "we gotta become tough, patrón". way before all that shit there was mondo cane.

anyway if you for some incomprehensible reason require further confirmation that people are utter shit cut through the poetics of staged bullshit and go directly to see "rape in the congo". it's a fucking documentary. have a puke bucket ready. best wishes.
