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]

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]
