Difference, between torture and entertainement?

Everybody knows the facts. US and Briton soldiers practicing torture on iraki naked prisoners.

But, the trouble with those videos and pics, is that the criminals, smiling and pissing like bloody jesters, are acting in Hell, precisely where the sunlights never go down. Surrealistic. Slapstick.

Debord wrote, first, that "le soleil ne se couche jamais sur la société du spectacle", and later, that " Mais il n'y a qu'un pas de l'enfer à la Revue du Moulin Rouge, il suffit d'avoir un public".

Smilers and pissers have an audience:thousand people eating burritos without seeing difference between the devil and the deep blue see.
