ENTERTAINMENT, THE MEDIA, AND THE PAINBODY The popular tabloid press does not primarily sell news but negative emotion – food for the painbody. “Outrage” screams the three-inch headline, or “Bastards.” The British tabloid press excels at this. They know that negative emotion sells far more papers than news does. There is a tendency in the news media in general, including television, to thrive on negative news. The worse things get, the more excited the presenters become, and often the negative excitement is generated by the media itself. Painbodies just love it. If you were not familiar with our contemporary civilization, if you had come here from another age or another planet, one of the things that would amaze you is that millions of people love and pay money to watch humans kill and inflict pain on each other and call it “entertainment.” Q: Why do violent films attract such large audiences? A: There is an entire industry, a large part of which fuels the human addiction to unhappiness. People obviously watch those films because they want to feel bad. What is it in humans that loves to feel bad and calls it good? The pain-body, of course. A large part of the entertainment industry caters to it. So, in addition to reactivity, negative thinking, and personal drama, the pain-body also renews itself vicariously through the cinema and television screen. Pain-bodies write and produce these films, and pain-bodies pay to watch them. ...Tarantino, pejt na terapijo!!!! sam se mi zdi, da rajš umre, kot pa se sooči z lastno potlačeno, nepredelano jezo in jo tako predela, ker kaj bo pol z njegovim kreativnim izrazom, kreativnostjo, kaj ga bo gnalo, in, še huje, kaj bo pol z njegovim nasilja-lačnim občinstvom!??! :P
