I don't know which thread this should be on but I'm putting it here. I've been thinking about violence in music (movies, etc.) and about censorship, and I get this rather creepy feeling of similarity between the two. Both of them seem to be industrial manipulations of other people's emotions. The rap industry is shameless in their exploitation of real urban problems, which they do little to solve and a great deal to perpetuate. But the censors response to a crisis like Colorado is chillingly similar: we take advantage of people's grief to take away their rights. Both situations are exploitative.
