My question is what the heck does MTV mean by: “The Holocaust Happened To People Like Us.”?Teenage MTV viewers are targets of an oppressive government, like Jews were under the Nazis? Or ‘we’re all victims’? Or what? I think it’s good to remind people that freedom is fragile and must be defended constantly. Why not make it even more realistic? Put up a video of the Janjweed rousting the Dafur population. Or the genocide in Rwanda. Or, let’s be really up to date and ‘edgy’, how about covering the Jihad against Christians, Hindus and Buddhists? How about Beslan? The threat of soldiers breaking into American homes to load people on trucks is pretty low. Why now get real?
