When pop culture (a movie, lets say) gores the ox of some group in society (Parents Against the Human Imagination, for example), a typical argument for the banning of the movie is that people, especially children, can't reliably tell the difference between fantasy and reality. They don't understand that a person can't really sustain 800 blows to the head with a spiked iron ball on a chain and go on to dispatch an army of gelatinous aliens with heads like banana squash, and make love to his girlfriend, all in the same day. How could they know? They're only children. |
