I can't decide what is most upsetting/confounding about this situation.
The idea that MTV is using the Holocaust to startle teens? Or that the message of these ads is unclear?
The HuffPo writer ponders the complexity of media influence, corporations, and government regulation, but I would like to get more to the point of this particular reference. Ads are here and here.
Why is MTV trying to scare teenagers? Maybe I missed something, but I was under the impression that we're in the middle of a very exciting presidential election with a race between very distinguished and talented candidates on both sides. In what way does that signal impending systematic imprisonment and murder for "people like us"?
