Here’s two of my favorite clips on the web. The first, is from George Carlin, famous Comedian who died last year.

The second clip is from the 1976 film Network.

The best documentary that I have seen recently, is without a doubt “The Century of The Self”, by filmmaker Adam Curtis for the BBC. It is about how Government and Corporations have exploited Sigmund Freud’s theories in order to control the masses. Particularly interesting is the interviews and bits about Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays, who actually applied his uncle’s theories with great results. He came up terms like “Lifestyle” and was a big player in getting our culture to where it is today: A culture of Consumerism and individuals trying to express themselves through the products that they buy. Do yourself a favor and be watch this.
