"The discovery of various female corpses revealed the agenda of this psychopath, who was active for years." "... who used the city's roads as his playground and earned him the nickname of 'Road Killer'." "Only parts of the bodies were found such as legs, arms and torsos." "All were women between 20 to 35 years old." "Usually prostitutes." "This fact leads to a very strong criticism of the Police's work in the case ... because apparently the investigation wasn't taken too serously due to the victims' professions." "as their families claim." "This is a unprecedented case in this country and the first time a suspect of this type has been captured." "He has supposedly given a confession, and even clues about the bodies of the missing victims." "Here we can see some of the analysis of the unidentified remains." "Other studies hope to discover the identities, because there are still unidentified victims." "These images are an exclusive." " Really, think about it, it would be excellent."

"THE SUSPECT CONFESSES TO VIEWING PORN SITES CONTAINING TORTURE AND SADISM." "THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST DETAILING THEM." " This is the most important thing I have to tell you." "There's a new concept called "Global video-brain"." " As Jung coined the "Collectve Unconscious" term, the TV is our everyday Bible  it is our "collective unconscious" nowadays." " It functions by images, as our brains thinks by images" " ... and what is the engine of today's society?" " Consumerism ... consumption, and waste disposal."

"I think it could be morality." ""Morality"?" "What is Morality?" " Do you choose your morality?" " I think there is a place for it, if not so, everything would be unmanageable." " Morality ends up inside the privacy of your house." " Why be moral..." " ...if you can be anonymous?" " It's fine here..." "I'll go from here." " How much is it?" " In a moment..." " $9" " Here it is, keep the change." "Thanks." " Thank you." " I'm really late... sorry for the delay." " It's okay..." " Thank you for receiving me..." " You're welcome..." "I wanted to talk, and clarify things." " I've been researching and I read some of your reviews, and I am very interested." " Do you want something to drink?" " Okay." " Basically, that's why I wanted to interview you." " Your reviews were very interesting to me, I thought they were great." " I'm writing a report which is..." " a little complicated." " And I'd like to understand a little bit more." " Well, you write profusely about it you're like a specialist on the subject" " Due to the nature of my reviews, kind of." " Visual vioence."

"I said it's know as an "urban legend"." " Then...?" " Refect on that for a moment..." "it's quite improbable that it could happen." " I really don't know what to say..." " It's a very improbable fact." " That a man records a videotape" " ... in which he murders a victim, a person kidnapped just for this" " ... records it" " ... and later he sells the tape to a secret group of wealthy people." " Which would be ridiculous." "it'd be like handing himself over to the police." " Okay then..." " You are telling me it is impossible" " No... it isn't impossible." " Actually, what is impossible is the existence of the 'secret group' who would do this." " A group who trades this material, people who sell it." " People who abduct victims." "a lot of loose ends." " ... many investigations concerning the missing persons." " ... one person in the group could inform on on any other." " But yes, an isolated individual could do that." " The victim wouldn't be important, that would be illogical." " The families, the investigations, one would be found out." " Of course, there are people for which no one cares." " Exactly." " In a consumerist socety, the engine is money, those without money..." " I understand..." "Those without money, they are no good." "No one's interested in them." " It's not a politically correct idea, but..." " What do we see in everyday reality?" " Or even in advertising?" " There are bodies who have more 'value' than others." " There are people who have more 'value' than others." " I really don't see it that way." " Of course you don't!" "The guilt is not what we want." " Our most fancied hobby is unawareness." " In order for the subsistence of some, there are others who must suffer." " Am I wrong?" "Isn't that the right order?" " Do you know how much it costs to buy a child?" " There is a price..."

" If someone wants to watch "snuff", they have an easy everyday access." " "Porn"." " But, do you think that?" "Such an extreme stand..." " The image of body is dismembered by the camera." " We only see fragments of bodies, as the camera only shoots genitalia." " The dismembered person." " The person is unimportant, we don't know who she or he is." " Even more important:" "We don't care who they are." " There are bodies to partake of, to use, and to consume." " Come on..." "You're in the next scene..." " It's not about being for or against violence." "It's about analysing it." " It's impossible..." "We can't not be involved." " I need something, Leo..."
