More infotainment from (the other) Dismalands

Civilized female - civilized giraffe

In another rich psychopath's entertainment park, Zimbabwe, recently a U.S. dentist killed the "wrong" lion, "accidently", as he excused himself later, because he didn't know that "Cecil" was the local tourist attraction and the government didn't sell him a ticket for Cecil to be shot.

Everything is entertainment

(Picture: Ruptly TV)

Back then I didn't agree much with Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves To Death" theories, but with each day looking at what is called "Infotainment", I do a bit more.

On local news they quite extensively covered the newest Banksy art project in Weston-super-Mare. With roughly 50 other (known) artists they build some kind of modern entertainment park called "Dismaland". Full of so exciting and shocking art, the exhibition got many likes by the media who bring us the unexcitingly real Disneyland to our daily screen.
Whatever, the exhibition is still open to September, 27th. Go enjoy your shocks with oily rubber ducks and drowning escapees.
