Party Doll
Some people
are made to play with, and Party Doll is the face of a thousand people that
I see every day. In a society of numbness one must compensate by feeling
more and more intense sensation. We tattoo yourselves, we pierce, we brand,
we amputate and we slice to the bone, yet STILL many of us are not satisfied.
Some of us must inflict intense sensations upon others to feel that we are
actually more than just an abstract idea. As time goes on, and the populations
of the world increase, we become more a society of sadists and masochists.
We love to watch ourselves being torn to bits almost as much as we enjoy
seeing others brutalized. We, as a people LOVE to see our fellows shot,
stabbed, bludgeoned and blown up! "Not true", you say? I guess
you don't watch TV much, do you? The media IS the massage ... And America's
message to itself is Societal Suicide ... So, COME ON DOWN! ... and have
some fun ... with PARTY DOLL.
