on a serious-er note, j*** sent me this article and it's pretty appalling. and it reminded me of this post on beth's blog. i haven't watched the video or anything but and i don't think i could bear to, and needless the article pretty much speaks for itself.

for some reason i find it really upsetting to find out that such amoral people exist in singapore. well .. i don't know if amoral is the correct word to use, but i don't know when it happened that people felt that beating someone up for no reason was a justifiable thing to do.

i'll probably add and edit this post later because i'm sleepy and probably incoherent. but i just wanted to put this up before i went to bed.

yeah. it's nasty shit.

and stuff like this has been happening around here for ages. girls in this part of the world sometimes can be more violent than boys -- i'd link but obviously nobody who cares would have the stomach to archive humiliating beatings.

what's new about this for me is the use of the cameraphone. ultraviolence in the states doesn't usually incorporate technology . . . with the notable exception of the state-supported ultraviolence.

these are the stories that really make me flash on burgess, a clockwork orange.

that's the thing though, and i'm not naive in thinking that it never happens in sg but i don't think stuff like that should be happening anywhere, let alone being recorded for posterity.

violence makes me ill n i can't watch it on tv, or in a movie even if it's fiction. trying to read clockwork orange now but it's a bit difficult =P
