Violence is fun, What is to blame? Options

If you search 'girl fight' on YouTube, you get more than 70,000 hits. You search 'street fight', you get around 126,000 hits.

Recently, authorities said that teens are playing a new game where they walk up to a random person and slap/smack them in the face, aka "Happy Slapping". Happy Slap produces 5000+ hits on Youtube.

Increasing more and more kids are posting violent acts on Youtube or Myspace and view these attacks as 'funny' or 'pranks'.

And most recently, the Lakeland, Florida attack of a teenager girl by 6 other girls have gained national attention because they videotaped it for the intent of posting it up on the internet.

Why has this desensitization been happening in our country? Is it because of movies? Television? Games like GTA? Or violent music?

I think as more time passes by us all, the media gets more comfortable with leaking things and making more things that we thought were so inappropriate are allowed to come out and show their true colors.

I think everything has its part, the games, the movies, television, and the internet. The internet gets millions and billions of hits and having things like youtube and myspace that people actually let consume them is an issue. Part of it can be with how parents are lacking? But what are to do when you have a teenage girl or boy that are in their rebellious stages and will do whatever the hell they want. I'll say that we can sit here and point fingers but everyone does their part. Also with places like myspace and where people can pretty much advertise themselves and feed off attention, then eventually they are going to do stupid ass stuff to get more attention and to keep the attention they already have.
