Neriana got to the point. That's just one of the pervasive (and perverse) problems of capitalistic America: they treat us like trash. It is a scientifically proven point that if a child is told that he/she is "stupid" or "a liar", he or she will turn out being so. The same is true for opposite remarks, as long as they are backed up with intellectual stimulation, love and kindness. Corporations teamed up with the media and the government to convince all Americans that they were useless, stupid trash-mongers. I hate to say it, but Bush didn't start that. The government has been playing we citizens as pawns for at least a good hundred years (I believe it started around the birth of the "two party system", but others might disagree).
Regardless, I think that some of the exploitation of the "human" body can be derived from the fact that sex and the human body is a taboo subject in the US. That is, of course, derived from new-Christianity, which rejects love as the defining element of humanity and embraces violence (the crucifix is their icon?! Who came up with that idea!) as a much more humane thing. European Christianity sux0rz, because it brainwashes us to believe that the natural human body is bad, unless it is split open in a sacrifice for God (the Crusades?). Personally, I think that just about any Asian religion is far better, even EOC (eastern orthodox christianity). I am a strong Buddhist supporter, though not a Buddhist myself, because it rejects violence for violence's sake (and, in the perfect cases, altogether) and embraces humanity for what it really is: part of this planet. See Philip Glass movies, Anima mundi in particular, for an example of what I'm talking about. Our planet is truly a living thing, we are part of it, and we are what we are.
Hinduism also provides a good example of non-violence, at least in theory, and provides a better example of Asia's (India's, in this case) acceptance of the natural human body. Works of physical art (drawings, painting, but primarily sculptings in this case) frequently depict the actual human body, not the idealized human body, in its natural state. Hindu art work also depicts sex as being a perfectly fine and good thing, which resulted in India being far more accepting of the human body, as it is the human body that is the instrument of human sex.
I am, of course, aware of the severe economic problems in India, but that can be contributed to the bad parts of Hinduism (the caste system). And to think it could've all been avoided if the Indians had only listened to Gandhi in the first place...
@ Domi- I've concluded that Ben Stark is that one wight who helped out our Craven Sam. Is this correct? I can't remember them saying that out right, but it is pretty strongly implied. Do you have any idea how that happened (i.e. how he kept his mind and isn't just a walking corpse)? Ar.
