Civilization! - *Some Restrictions Apply

In Tucson's own Loft Cinema, during October's First Friday Film Shorts contest, this is the video I think SHOULD have won. It is witty and right on the mark. It comes from IrreverentFilms (here on YouTube) and I think it's pure genius.

I print the money, so...kiss my ass, and why you're kissing it could you teach your children to lick out anything that's in there? Thanks.

[rwSpider]

And "why" they're kissing it? Keep printing it. One day, they may actually let you have some. Then you can buy grammar skills AND class.

[WhatWouldMommaHairdo]

I Think you meant "while" instead of "why", as in 'while you're trying to insult me for bad grammar.' I Was just trying to be sarcastic, and I love the video. You are right, I have very little class, but the slapping sound my genitals make when I expose it to strong winds, makes up for it.

I didn't know they considered back-boobs genetalia

[BeyondBeliefs]

Slavery never ended, it simply incorporated more people into the labor force. Only the printers of the money have no complaints.

[rwSpider]

Ain't that the fuckin' truth. Wage slavery... it's a cult that keeps on killing people as they smile stupidly on.

If you like this video, read "ISHMAEL" by Daniel Quinn.

Reread it if you have already, or pickup "The Story of B"

It is the debt slavery that prevails, you gotta buy a house then you need to borrow to get a bigger car, to keep up with the neighbours....Then you see they have a new big American fridge you need one too, then they have a 40 inch TV so you need one of those, then it turns into this consumerist hell, with all the discarded items, turning this beautiful planet into a junk yard from Hell......And no one asks, what is happening to the waters were all this consumerist pollution is ending up....

Hierarchy, alienation, the division of labor, wage slavery....sounds like capitalism to me.

@MasterofHardcore01 no not really if it was without the leaders we would hang all the wild ones in the center of the town.... i know for sure in black areas you would have to worry about personal space with out society..

[slickdickdafoola]

@WhatWouldMommaHairdo you owned funny



[gtrplyr5204]

Great video! Though I wish you went into more detail about the loss of human identity. I live in the land *known* as the United States, but I don't call myself an American anymore. That would just be proving how civilization turns humans into tools and products.

"American"...it is meaningless.

Savagery is looking pretty good!
