    to be honest, i never understand the will to look at these sort of videos, i dont judge people who do but they do nothing for me, was first on the scene of a fatal car crash when i was 19 (now 36) that still pops into my mind from time to time.

    Well 19 years ago we didn't have the internet like we do now. It's just human nature to be curious.

    I totally agree with you. We may not want to see it, but sometimes curiosity kicks in and it gets the best of us, which makes wonder how us humans can do such a thing. Hearing about it on the news is worse enough, but seeing it can be the limit of what you can really take.

    The Star wars holiday special.
    The Star Wars Holiday Special is a 1978 American two-hour television special (including commercials) set in the Star Wars galaxy and was the first official Star Wars spin-off produced. Directed by Steve Binder, it was broadcast in its entirety in the United States only once, on November 17, 1978 on CBS from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time (EST).[1] In the story, Chewbacca and Han Solo visit Kashyyyk, Chewbacca's home world, to celebrate Life Day. Along the way, they are pursued by agents of the Galactic Empire, who are searching for members of the Rebel Alliance on the planet. The special introduces three members of Chewbacca's family: his father Attichitcuk, his wife Mallatobuck, and his son Lumpawarrump.

    The main storyline of the film, which occurs two years after the Battle of Yavin (2 ABY), takes place on Kashyyyk. During the film, scenes also take place in outer space and in spacecraft including the Millennium Falcon and an Imperial Star Destroyer. The variety-show segments and cartoon introduce a few other locales, such as a cantina on the desert planet of Tatooine and a gooey, reddish ocean planet known as Panna.

    The program also features brief appearances by other Star Wars characters, including Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, R2-D2, Darth Vader, Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa (who sings the film's "theme song", set to the music of John Williams's Star Wars theme, near the end). The program also features a cartoon produced by Toronto-based Nelvana that officially introduces the bounty hunter Boba Fett.

    The film is notorious for its negative reception.[1] Anthony Daniels, in a documentary promoting the worldwide tour of Star Wars: In Concert, notes with a laugh the Star Wars universe includes "The horrible Holiday Special that nobody talks about". George Lucas had limited involvement with the film's production, and he was unhappy with the results. David Acomba, a classmate of Lucas' at USC film school, had been selected to direct the special, but he chose to leave the project, a decision supported by Lucas. The special has never been re-aired or officially released on video.

    You think, oh maybe with a few drinks it'll be funny. It's not. It's not interesting. Or even so bad it's good. Or kitsch. It's just completely eye meltingly horribly crap.

    Even if i had a mobile phone with a video in it, the last thing i would have thought of would be to film this young man who had a empty baby seat in the back and put it onto the internet, i suppose once you see it you never want to see it again.
    once again i dont judge anyone who watches it, just not for me

    Let me ask you this then: think of something new you were really exicted about that was going to change things. Like... a mobile/cell phone, how it would make things so much easier. Everyone was curious about it.

    It's the same with these videos, nobody is generally going to see something like in most of those videos. The more violent ones I can say, alright sure they're a bit twisted but things like two girls, one cup you just think "WTF?! I HAVE to see that" kind of thing. And with the more violent things it's more "... that can't be in the video".

    And let's be honest, the more violent videos (including bumfights, at least what I saw of it) were made by complete little feckers. I doubt anyone in their right mind or with an ounce of empathy would video something like that, which is why you wouldn't. I doubt you would be able to torture a man non stop just for not looking you in the eye when you said hello, people lacking empathy and morals can. They can also record it and not think twice about it.
    That's how stuff like that gets made.

    Yeah i read alot about that sergie guy's killing and the pricks that did it but i decided not to watch it. It disturbed me just reading about it.
    I watched 2 beheadings back in 05 and wasn't happy that i did. Those images stay with you for months.

    What is the story with the russian nazi beheading? I never heard of that one. Who did they behead?

    I'm guessing it's this:

    Internet video showing apparent executions of migrants in August 2007

    On 15 August 2007 Victor Milkov, a 23 year old student at the Maykop State Technological Institute in Adygea, and RNSP member, was arrested for distributing a video on the internet which shows two migrants apparently being executed by a "militant wing" of the RNSP.

    It is later identified that the victims were 24 year old Shamil Odamanov from Russia's mainly Muslim Dagestan region, and 20 year old Salakhetdin Azizovand from Tajikistan. The two men can be heard saying "We were arrested by Russian national socialists" before Odamanov is stabbed and beheaded and Azizovand is shot in the head by two masked men dressed in combat fatigues.

    According to Russian Minister of the Interior the video is a fake. However, prosecutors say that the video is real.

    I don't understand this part. Surely they know if the video is real or not? Those 2 guys are either alive or dead?

    Yeh, i have wondered about that sort of mentality it would take to put the emotions aside to film instead of helping, not talking about the blatant murders where they are filming because they are freaks but the scenes where someone could be giving aid, anyway each to their own i suppose.

    On a personal level I feel uncomfortable about this thread remaining open on after hours for any and all to see. Having had this pointed out by my co-mods I unfortunately must elect to lock this thread.
    The topics discussed, while reasonable, give people all of the information they need to successfully google murders and other horrible shock videos. If you're into that sort of thing, google is your friend. Please PM me for clarification if needed.
