  • what is this video trying to prove? The ignorance of America surrounding the mentally ill? Using the fear of the unknown to portray them all as violent?  What is the point of this video?

  • yes its supposed to show how dumb people are in thinking that all mentally ill patients are violent dangerous killers. There are some moments of stupidity thrown in to add humor to the information being shown. It also shows the misinformation that tv shows and movies give their viewers. Just so everyone knows multiple personality is what norman bates has not schizophrenia...

  • Thank you, Liptak! From sleazy, overrated bestsellerists like King and Koontz to purveyors of exploitation, horror exploits mentally ill in fantasies of gore, filth and perversion. Great, huh?

  • Spare me from the sewers of sanity - and I mean some literally filthy sewers!

  • Sounds like you answered your own question.

  • It's true, many mentally ill people live dull, marginalised lives

    Going round killing strangers as sadistically as possible doesn't really come into it, they often have better things to do

    (and I speak from experience here)

  • I like the sarcasam! Keep it up!

  • good video.
