Today's Exercise in Millennial Psychopathology: Cow Killer Edition (video)

If you're willing to endure any sensation of pain for the sake of a video then we will assume your fancy is some variety of sado-masochism and we will be on our way.

Or you might be Coyote Peterson who endures incredibly painful insect stings to 'share the experience' with you.  If you're coming up with any faint idea of any benefit which could come from doing that then you're well ahead of us in the exercise.




Coyote, my reckless and halfwitted compadre, I sure hope you're getting paid for this but what kind of sick bastard would pay you to do it.


Note:  cow killers are quite real and are actually wingless wasps.  I've seen them walking about in the lawn of a house in Tennessee but they can't fly so you will be ok if you're wearing shoes.  The males can fly but they can't sting.  Ask the Designer why that would be but make damn sure you're wearing shoes while you do it.  These bugs will hurt you bad.


Maybe the audience for this kind of pain is the same pack of twisted hyenas who get off on watching Great White Sharks jumping out of the water to kill seals ... to crush the seal's beautiful body in his cold and ruthless jaws.

(Ed:  yeah, yeah, it was a dark and stormy night ...)

Oy, matey mate.  That's one dead ass seal.  One dead ass seal and we chalk it up to a hungry shark.  When the whole show is about whacking seals then it looks like the audience is probably comprised of serial killers.


For the sci-fi, we need "The Pain Merchants" and that's dredging a memory from somewhere.  Generally these pain videos have the single theme of young people subjecting themselves to anything from hardship to excruciating pain for the sake of some look-at-me attention.  They may be able to capitalize the video with YouTube click charges but these types of one-off videos aren't likely to make much.  In most cases, they likely only satisfy a modicum of warped narcissism.

Ask why they do it all you like but we're curious about how twisted it will get.  "The Pain Merchants" might have been about stealing organs from your body.  It's not such an unusual idea and there are some variations on the theme of a victim who awakens in a bathtub with an ice pack to discover one of his kidneys has been removed.  Yikes.


To satisfy these seal killers out there, we need something more twisted than a hijacked kidney so how about the use We the People after the need for a physical workforce further declines.  Our value to the elite in that circumstance is only for meat.

Sure, you have seen "Soylent Green" but we're not talking about that kind of farming.  What if you discover the inmates in the prison are disappearing.  Even if there were outcry, no-one would pay any attention to it; no-one pays attention to outcry about prisons now.

Inmates in prison usually exercise vigorously because there's nothing else to do.  They're also fed controlled diets and kept under controlled sleeping conditions.  Some of them will be excellent candidates for organ harvesting.

Now the elite has the perfect situation.  They don't have to send medigoons out to hijack kidneys because the kidneys come to them.  The jails become the spare parts outlets for the rich and, in their eyes, it's the perfect solution.  An execution is expensive and at least this way they get something out of it.
