Imagine if they replaced "tv transmission" with "video game". Is this what anti-gamers think is happening? (albight much more slowly, of course)
[quote]You're happily watching your plasma TV. Suddenly a screech-filled, static-laced, can't-take-your-eyes-off-it transmission interrupts your regularly scheduled program. In a flash, every bit of mass-media information available -- all the sex, violence and ads -- is uploaded into your brain. You've been "signalized." And you want to bash-in someone's skull.[/quote]
[quote]"I'll be standing in line at the grocery store and the person in front of me is taking too long to pay," said David Bruckner, one of the film's three directors. "I just want to kill them. That's what it means to be 'signalized.'"
The film suggests that media we gobble is to blame. The characters whose information consumption is out of control are more prone to turn into killers, according to Jacob Gentry, another of the film's directors.[/quote]
