Hm, it's not West Virginia, but perhaps close enough.

DHMIS actually has a lot of important social narratives if you look closely.

I've watched the videos at least 10 times each, I love them.

The first one focuses on how modern media suppresses the innate creativity of children and young adults.

The second video revolves around how we focus on the future and do not live in the present, thereby squandering our current opportunities in favor of a stress over that which may not come true.

Although the videos do end pretty disturbingly, I think it's warranted to have this element of surprisingly grotesque imagery to cement these underlying narratives into the mind of the viewer. Without the shocking turn of events, the person watching these videos may just shrug off the content as "cute" or "akin to the muppets". The suddenly adult imagery forces us to take a new look at the contents of the videos, to take it more seriously in a critical light. With the addition of these highly disturbing consequences unto the puppets, we as humans are naturally curious. So, the blood and guts serves as a mechanism to make more people watch it out of curiosity in the hopes that their message will be conveyed to more than a select few.

Just something to think about.

Gods why was that series so shitty

[Nichi]

It looks like Suou from the second season of Darker than Black.

First season wasn't as bad.

@cockle: DHMIS is really an interesting thing to behold, compelling even. and while the authors have claimed no direct meaning, i agree with your points on it. what other reason would there be for what happens? the first video's comment, "Now Let's All Agree to Never Be Creative Again" really cements what you said that children today are being stifled by today's society; not just the media, but even their parents and the schools, as parenting becomes less about the experience and more about the goal: college, good paying career, and more children. we as a world are becoming cogs in a machine. (mother of god, Ayn Rand was right.)

the second video's ending i see as a defeated sigh in the video's attempt to get the message across. the characters, despite seeing (their own?) pain and torment, pay little mind to the matter at hand and just turn off the tv.

So I bought the last map pack of Cod: Black Ops 2 for the zombies, just wish I had some friends to play with... or a working headset for that matter...

Still really fun stuff, not quite the same as the old Cod World at War days with old friends back in middle/high school
