Tokyo - Hara Museum - (ART MAMA Tatsumi Orimoto) |
earthquake / tsunami of this intensity has been documented with so 'many videos and photographs, virtually live.
The tragedy comes to homes around the world. And several newspapers compete to publish the video of the tragedy during (via home videos) and after.
I'm not against the use of these means of information, for the love of god (or buddha, given the geographical location in question). I also looked at the various scenes and the photographs (on Repubblica.it - corriere online the stampa.it , the daily , the poster ...). Pero 'bothers me advertising. Possible that before seeing a video of the mud certainly holds thousands of bodies I have to be 10 seconds of one that I want to sell washing machines? or if I'm going to look at the photographs and reading the articles, for example, of a republic, background, beautiful colors, are the latest models of TV and mobile phones?
Ok, the field of online advertising ... but there 's something that stride, I'm not wrong. On the one hand we have a
generalized rhetoric of doom bar / international solidarity (we are one big family, nature and the man who tries to tame the destructive forces, combined with the pain of the survivors, etc etc) but the other 'there is someone not so virtual that is between the sponsors and offers them at prices much higher pubblcizzare their products before those videos that will be watched by millions of people around the world. And so 'in headlines screamed, news re-proposed in a thousand different sauces and videos listed without rhyme or reason to doubt the information put together for the sole purpose of making money and attracting hits on its pages is. It 'true that' a little 'soul of the web: search through what many news and so much garbage' more that 'we like ... but holy Buddhas and 's so hard to describe an earthquake without being constantly disturbed by the marketing director for the thrill of the successful event is selling space and making money as never before?
Mount Fuji, save you (and especially bless the many Japanese who have died)
