Media Murder
This issue came to my attention and i felt the need to blog about it.
Now, there are people who are killing themselves and hurting themselves all across the globe - but how many are because of genuine problems?
Most of the people I know (if not all) that cut themselves or have attempted suicide didn't do it because they were fucked up - they did it to be cool.
Why would they think that's cool? I'll tell you.
All these people read the Daily Mail when they said that 'emos are a cult that like My Chemical Romance and hurt themselves' and they thought, "Hmm, if I want to fit in in the emo subculture, I'd better start hurting myself like this rag says."
NO. Don't do that.
The Daily Mail should be shut down. They complain about how the emo kids are dying and blablabla when they're the ones behind it.
Then i thought to myself, "I should start a petition." But I wondered how many people have started one already.
I looked it up, and a lot have.
Of course I intend to try to sign every one, but it's not going to get rags like that off the shelves.
The media is turning everyone against each other. If there were no media, there wouldn't be as much war (if any), there wouldn't be as many people hurting and killing themselves, there wouldn't be as much murder, and society would be accepting of anyone, no matter who or what you are.
But sadly, there will allways be a media turning teenagers anorexic and making people die. The media is murder. But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? (sorry, I had to add some MCR lyrics and these really fit [from Early Sunsets Over Monroeoville])
Of course, I am aware that many people who do this do it because they have genuine problems, but I think that if maybe the media were abolished these problems would start to disappear.
However, the media is a necessary evil.
Doesn't that suck?

Yeah, my mum randomly researched this. Apparently there was a 'Emo's don't just cut themselfs' parade somewere. That's good publisity.
But with some loser kids, you say Emo and they say Slit Wrists. That's not what it's about.

I don't think it's the media's fault at all.
Frankly, I think it's this whole 'emo' subculture's fault. Sure, the news telling them that their favourite band is to blame for dying children can't help, but really, let's be honest here. Is that really the end of the world?
They're doing it to themselves. They're pinpointing the bad and magnifying it, while ignoring the good. All to be classified as 'emo'. I think it's ridiculous.

I want to blimming burn the daily mail, too bad I don't live there to march : /
The media stuffed up my first favourite musician type person..yes britney spears. If they do this again to anyone else I adore...D:
I believe this daily mail thing was started by the suicide of hannah bond ? 13 ? Her parents blaming MCR ? I really think it's the parents fault she did what she did. Though at her age her brain isn't developed properlly and what not, so she was pretty stffed and confused and if she tried to reach out, she obviously didn't get the help.
This emo stuff is just retarded. The media is retarded...

OK, seriously - I know we're all guilty of using bad language at times, but the first comment on this Blog is just vile. There are younger kids who use this website and who do contribute to commenting in the Blog section, and I'm pretty sure the last thing they need to see is a string of disgusting words. Please, try to keep the profanity on the down low. You can get your point across just fine without using disgusting language.
As for this blog, I can understand where you're coming from. The media can be vey judgemental but hey, that's their job. I never liked reading the "What's Hot && What's Not" coloumn.
Nice blog.

I don't think it could be shut down. Even with a petition. There are too many other purposes for the media. As long as it exists for good, there will be bad things that come with it.

the media is f*cked up. And that's jusr scratching the surface. They're all a bunch of scumbag d*ckhead a$$holes who have no life and want to ruin other peoples' lives. i totally agree with what you're saying. the media need to shut the f*ck up and shove all of what they're saying up their asses. they need top learn that they have no right to tell people, specificly teenagers, what is cool and what is not. if it wasn't for the evilness of the media, the world wouldnt be so f*cked up.
those dirty,scumbag,douschebag,d*ckhead,a$$hol es,motherf*ckers,dipsh*ts,b*tchy c*cksuckers need to get a life and leave the people alone.
(and that's just putting it lightly)
