		<description>I don&#039;t understand why this message can&#039;t get out in such a powerful way as this? Unless men just don&#039;t want to admit that it happens. We can have all kinds of violence in movies and TV but just can&#039;t point the finger at obviously wrong behavior. Reminds me of when Garth Brooks video of &quot;Thunder Rolls&quot; was widely banned because of the theme about domestic violence. If only banning videos like this could banish the actual acts.

&lt;font color=green&gt;I&#039;m not sure whether it is because men don&#039;t want to admit it, or that they can&#039;t stomach watching it. The First Husband took one look, and backed away. There was a story a few months back that there were complaints from BBC viewers, I think it was, about having a disabled presenter on a kid&#039;s program. The general tenor was, okay, we know there are lots of people with physical disabilities, but our kids shouldn&#039;t have to watch them on their screens. Hard to believe, I know. I wonder if there might have been some of that thinking behind the ban: we know it&#039;s out there, but we shouldn&#039;t have to watch it in the intermissions between our erotic, violent, or mindless television viewing. Who knows what stupidity lurks in the heart of man?&lt;/font&gt; </description>

		<description>I saw this a while back Tessa, can&#039;t remember where, could have been bored.com, but it is a powerful piece and brings this far too common crime to more public attention.
XO

&lt;font color=green&gt;Thank you, www. It was pretty tough to watch but, as you say, it needs to be brought to people&#039;s attention.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>OMG I couldn&#039;t watch that without wanting to throw up!  Having flashbacks of my former life and I feel every punch and kick to my gut.  

Pisses me off that they don&#039;t want to show THIS but yet we get to watch those fucking make your penis bigger ads over and over!!??!!  As you can tell, I&#039;m mad as hell and shaking just pounding out this message.  Thank you for showing this.  I&#039;m stealing it and showing it myself.

&lt;font color=green&gt;I&#039;m sorry if it caused you pain, MLS, but I&#039;m glad you are making use of it. &lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>Locked and loaded.  

Believe me when I say that I could never hunt.  I would never be able to aim a weapon at an animal unless it was attacking me or someone else.  I would have no problem AT ALL taking out a so-called human who was attacking someone I love or probably anyone.  

I&#039;m confident in my aim but not in my judgment so while I&#039;ve taken the concealed weapons class, I don&#039;t carry.......yet.

This sickens me.  I hope they keep it running. 

&lt;font color=green&gt;I didn&#039;t join the debate on this issue on your post, Smartmouth, because my head and my heart are at war on this one. My heart would want to drop him at a hundred paces with a shot to the heart. My head tells me two wrongs don&#039;t make anything right, and, if it&#039;s revenge I want, maybe he should spend some time in the prison shower with Bubba, if you get my drift. Which is all academic, because I don&#039;t know how I would react if it were one of mine.&lt;/font&gt;

		<description>Powerful stuff. Can&#039;t imagine it will be on US TV (or in US theaters, for that matter) anytime soon. 

I guess an aesthetic argument could be made that &quot;suspense is more suspenseful when the action occurs off-camera&quot;; OTOH there&#039;s no denying that this is more &lt;em&gt;convincing&lt;/em&gt;. Which as you say is the point, isn&#039;t it?

&lt;font color=green&gt;I don&#039;t think there was any aesthetic argument, John. I think they were just too chicken-shit to show it.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>?  I cannot find a link for the PSA...

&lt;font color=green&gt;That&#039;s strange. On my computer, it&#039;s a big honking video in the middle of the page. Hmmm. It can also be found at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt7JZSrDJA8&amp;feature=player_embedded&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;YouTube.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;font color=maroon&gt;Oops! Checked on TFH&#039;s Windows-based laptop and couldn&#039;t see the video, although it was visible on both my Macs. Think I&#039;ve fixed the problem now.&lt;/font&gt;
