Yeah i was flicking between this and Planet of the Apes last night. Was pretty interesting seeing how the inmates had developed coping mechanisms in order to deal with their sentences. Haha oh yeah and that gay Jew who was with that straight ex-Nazi, MENTAL.

Its the same reason shows featuring British Royalty get huge audiences in the US, people are intrigued by how other people live.

There is no fascination, if we want to hear about violence we have it right here at home. You think only prisons exist in America? you think everyone over here has afternoon tea and cucumber sandwiches?

I wanted to watch it but by the time i remembered it was on, it was 10pm so i only got around to the last 5 minutes, with the guy in the outside cage along with the gay couple. Hopefully it will come back on next week in the early hours with the signing at the bottom so i can watch it.

I know more about UK and london then you think.. Ive been to london 6 times in the past 3 years(i was in brixtion 2 weeks ago) And various other parks of the UK(leeds, Wales, Birmingham,Bath Etc..)

When i come to london i usually either stay with my boys in brixtion(mandela road) or In stonebridge...

I said all that to say this... Yes i do know ALOT about UK culture and i still think you guys are obbessed with american style vionlence espically the younger hip hop generation. I know there is some vionlence in the UK but its not nearly The level that it is here in the states. Most of the violent crime are assults becasue of liquor or drugs. The muder rate in the entire UK is about the same as one medium/small sized american city. Its nothing to brag about either..yall do a great job on managing violent crime.. we need to take notes over here....

With that being said most of the times i go to the UK i see alot of the Kids there (black & white) trying to emulate the american style "gansta" thing when its clearly a false front. I think this ties into the UK's obbession with american style violence. Everytime im there i see some type of prision of gang documentry on BBC. Some of em good, some of em wayyy off. Either way its very dominate in the UK culture. (atleast in media)

And i can tell you over here cats arent really concerend with how other people live. Americans in general are pretty ignorant and dont really care what the rest of the world does... Its sad, but true...

Yep you are right, I agree entirely. People have become over obsessed with gangsters and violence. Not just american gangsters but 50 cent helped to fuel that image to the kids. Hence the young hiphop generation being affected by the bullshit. Due to the fact that all the big films with a few exceptions are made in the usa, with the american lifestyle being fed to the world, is it any wonder that thats what people end up aspiring to? Or living. We are products of what we see and what we think about what we see.
I had the same discussion at work today about some of the kids over here wouldnt know what hit them if they were over there. In my opinion and I see a lot of london in my job, both Brixton and Stonebridge are rough areas so you are pretty well informed.

I did'nt see the link previously. I'll have to pass on this though with it's size being almost 1gb, due to me being locked on a low download limit... it will probably come on next week anyway most likely.
