Toxic Stream


“This toxic stream carries a culture of death where sex is sport, where drugs and drunkenness are rites of teen passage, and violence and death are entertainment. It really doesn’t mater where you live, the toxic culture streams into your child's mind through friends, movies, television and video games and the Internet.” Bill Oliver

He thinks Anna Nicole Smith is the poster child of this culture. Talked about the duty of care to celebrities, allowing the popularity not for the content of her TV show but the shock value.

I think this is one of the best descriptions of how we are living Ive seen so far and it is certainly taking its toll, especially on young males. So many suicides, accidental murders and car accidents. I used to be surrounded by that on a daily basis, numb to it really, had to not care unless it was right in your face, but now Ive moved away and become desensitised its really starting to ..... taken a while to find the word - lacerate me.
