In that day I will respond," declares the LORD-- "I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth; and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.
I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one.' I will say to those called 'Not my people,' 'You are my people'; and they will say, 'You are my God.'"
If I had a dime for how many times I heard this, I'd be a rich man. This psychological tactic no longer works on me.

I watched the whole thing. Good entertainment, strong beat, beautiful women, expensive special effects.
What else is entertainment supposed to do but sell tickets and Cds? Cmon, really? I been to a ton of concerts in my time, seen a ton more movies, MTV, watever-er. None of its real, its titillation. You want real bad s***, go on YouTube and get a load of war in the Middle East. Everything horrific, mind numbing and very real bad juju puts all this entertainment to sleep. If only the world had more good entertainment and less murder death kill. Some of those music vids were class work.
I didn't see any but rehashed versions of House on Haunted Hill, PinK Floyd's The Wall, Madonna moves, Michael Jackson morphology and other vids and films from earlier times. Including Metropolis, Cat People, Nine inch Nails, Closer, etc.
Its all CGI. You want real monsters, they are out there, they are hidden from view, they take children and molest them, they man war machines and destroy nations, they rape the environment and toxify the land sea and air.
Yadda Yadda,Yah, right. Boring as hell.
i've seen before in other compilations describing sex kitten programming.

Are you aware that the Book of Hosea is all about the rehabilitation of Jezebel who was murdered at Jezreel by Jehu, i mention this because the Jehovahs Witnesse are mad on Jehu slayer of Jezebel, maybe also just mad, but anyway they mentioned their Jezebel fixations to me and i explained that their side gets the final comeuppance.
Because afterall the name is a distortion of a phoenician phrase iz'y'baal' meaning were is my Lord, used in the resurrection drama were the consort seeks the deceased, the Hebrews corrupted this to iz'y'bul meaning were is dung, but nontheless it was the phrase used by Mary Magdalene in the garden of Gethsemene...

The psych out is reading into performing arts more than is there.
George Carlin, "I leave symbols to the symbol minded".
TV isn't real, entertainment has only the value you give it.
Sure, some people overindulge, fixate, over react, like you…
Otherwise, enjoy the value of entertainment. Its a distraction, a relief. A good song, a good woman, sex, pets, none of these things are inherently evil, except to those that are too stuck up , wrapped up in religious dogma.
Go fight the real battles, not the fantasy. You are deluded to think these images are real. They are images, used to sell product, obviously you have been sold, its working on you.
They are laughing at all the attention, all the way to the bank.
Sorry, I am not over reacting--- So no, its not just entertainment--- because it is not the truth.

Beware of those who tell you to "seek the light within or the "still voice". It is not the voice nor the light that should be sought after. It is the state of No-thing.
The state of No-thing is the true nirvana.

The christians sold out and became tools of the empire. This is what happened in GOT when the new gods took over. They eliminated all evidence of the old gods, and their followers (so they thought). That is just how empire works. That was the purpose of the pharisees, which were plants of the Babylonian empire. This same evil leaven followed through to the Roman empire, which eventually overtook the Old religion of Jesus.
