The Corporation

I've been watching The Corporation. It's scary. Very, very scary.

I know that it's a advertising is a manipularive and almost omnipresent thing in modern society; but the realisation that individuals running these corporations want us to be greatful for their invasion of our lives, destruction of society and exploitation of third world and poor people... it's... just bizzare. Watching their justifications, or explanations, of their actions... leaves me feeling very disturbed.

I think people should watch it, it's very thought provoking.

There's a website about it here; when you next come down you guys can watch it if you like. It's about 2.5 hours long... and frustrating... scary... distressing... there's some hope in there, but I'm kinda negative about the way the world is going at the moment and don't really feel the positivity.

Corporations, if they were real people rather than just legal entities, would be diagnosed as sociopaths. Yes, it was a good documentary, and makes a good case for stronger regulation of corporations.
