Blog #8: Hunger Games Connections

I personally I think it is really sick how much enjoyment we get out of watching other people suffer.  We watch things like Saw, Hostel and love them.  Some of the way they torture people in movies like this really makes me think where is our society going.  Why is it ok for us to watch and why do we enjoy it.  Maybe because we know the images are not real but regardless if you think about it its just sick.

I found this video online apparently at a theme park in the UK they created a saw ride.  Sick and twisted now we wanna be apart of the thrill.  Maybe its that the thought of death gives us this certain thrill.  But why?  Is it like the rush you get when your on a roller coaster why do we enjoy this so much?
