Things You Like But Feel Bad For Liking?

    I'm watching a documentary on Channel4 at the moment about the last phone calls made of 9/11 victims from the Twin Towers. It's about the 4th documentary/docu-drama about the attacks I've watched this week.

    I know I shouldn't want to watch them, I suppose it's a morbid curiosity.
    Anyway yeah, anyone ever feel bad/embarrassed about something they like?

    And people from Roscommon, sheep-shagging doesn't count

    Have never watched the JFK clip to be honest, it'd be just a bit too real.
    There's something about watchin the planes hit and the towers collapse, I don't know what it is. It's just beyond belief to comprehend the loss of life but something so awesome (not in the american sense, in the real awe-some) about it, it's just hard not to watch

    Watched United 93 on More4 a few days ago, sort of enjoyed it :(

    Don't you think it's slightly heartless to be so fascinated by such a devastating loss of life?

    I dunno, I just feel bad watching it, but things like this really interest me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Super-Rush


    I've been watching 9/11 documentaries all week and i dont feel bad about it. Not much difference from watching the news


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Fair enough

    Its human interest and natural curiosity. Now watching old re runs of Keenan and Kel is something to be embarrassed about.

    Yeah I s'pose your right. Keenan and Kel.. god I haven't watched that in years.



    Just listened to the last call of someone stuck in the tower. He screamed "OH GOD!" as the tower collapses.
    Sent a chill through me :(

    No. Not really. World War 2 is a pretty popular subject. I don't even think it's slightly heartless to have a chuckle about either.

    Whats wrong with wanting to watch a documentary on 9/11? Are yeh that sensitive like? Fair enough if all yeh wanted to see was the plane hittin the tower, over and over and over, then ye you'd be a bit tapped in the head. But nothin wrong with watchin those documentaries on C4, they're interestin like...

    Heres a few more I'd reccommend watching actually if yeh haven't already seen them:







  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,488 ✭✭✭pikachucheeks


    Romantic comedies that have ridiculously obvious, predictable plot lines.

    Guilty :o I know I shouldn't but... well it kills an hour and a half doesn't it?



    And, I'm ashamed to admit, I've watched all 3 of those documentaries before :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,460 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    supporting HIBS


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,298 ✭✭✭Namlub


    The Hills and brie. I probably feel worse about the brie actually...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,476 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    Watching Nickelodeon. I guess if there's nothing else on i might watch it, but only for Drake and Josh:o Also Kenan and Kel as well. Everything else can go to hell.

    Eastenders. When there's a good storyline


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Fantasizing about rearending Maria Sharapova


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    I dunno, I don't see anything wrong with it, the same part of people that draws them to this kind of thing is the same part that makes you slow down as you drive past a car crash to have a look imo, it's just morbid curiousity and to hell with the whole idea of feeling bad for it. People have a natural fascination with these kind of things, they can't help but look into the abyss a little bit. Hell, my bookshelves are full of serial killer case studies, cult case studies, mass suicide/murder reports, criminal psychology stuff, studies on the atrocities carried about by the Nazis in WWII and Auschwitz, and all that kind of thing. It's interesting stuff.

    Either that or I'm gonna be a serial killer one day /shrugs
