To the people who don't get this video: Once you have a good idea that's TOO good for the people around you, you will know what this film is about. Society and the world are a little effed up: they try to shoot people down who have something good to offer if it threatens their comfortable, established little lives.

And later on, the world will hail the person with the bright idea as a hero. The moral I draw?: Don't let people get under your skin while you're following your path.

For all those turned off by the violence...Not everyone can relate to the pain of having your creativity killed. But everyone can relate to physical pain. It's visceral. His video is spawning debate. Debate = success. Had he not shown such graphic violence, you wouldn't be talking about his message right now. The means justify the ends.

Great work Stephen. When people start arguing in the comments, you know you hit a home run.

Some people here need to learn what a metaphor is.

[Mcgritzner]

Funny huh?

Let someone mutilate your girlfeind, I'm sure you'll have nothing but chuckles.

All I'm saying is its ok for u now, but when such a thing touches your life, its no joke.

There's no creativity here.
