Ghetto fights? That happens all the time...somewhere

I just read a story on Fox News about a company called Fall Thru Entertainment that's putting out video clips of brawls, fights and all around a$$ kicking on DVD for all of us to enjoy.
I'm not surprised by this at all. That people would be willing to buy and watch it is clear by the sales and profits shown by the Girls Gone Wild series. This stuff falls in to the same catagory.
What's funny is how people are talking about it. Some are calling it "racist" to even produce it. "Racist" is one of those terms you throw around when you have nothing else to base your argument on, as far as I'm concerened. So it's "racist" to make these tapes? Then how "racist" would it be if everyone involved in it...during the fight, making the tapes and marketing them...was black too. Would it be racist then? Oh wait, there's a name for that already...B.E.T.
Anyway, when you sell sex, violence isn't too far behind. Hell, sometimes it goes hand in hand. (Hmm, speaking of which; if all the girls in the GGW videos are white, is that racist? Man, it's hard to think like an idiot...I'll just stop)
So they asked a representative of the company who makes them if they'd sell a snuff film. To me, that's like asking people who allow same sex marriages if they'd allow beastiality. They have nothing to do with each other, the protagonist is just looking for the extreme to use in his argument.
What it all boils down to boys and girls is this: if you don't like it, don't buy it. Making a big deal about it just acts as free advertising and helps build sales. NOT talking about it will help it sniffle off in to oblivion...
Just relax, pull your thumbs out of your asses and have a coke
