Some men want money. Some men want power. Some men want ideas. Ideas have a wonderful attractiveness about them. And I'm glad the internet allows us to post ideas for others to see. For years I've been trying to promote the ideas of G-rated Shock Value on youtube, and I just haven't had much luck. I haven't had the ability to match the medium used with the ideas generated, so I have not been able to communicate my ideas effectively. Blogs are a lot easier to make than videos, and easier to publish than books, so perhaps I can work on expressing my ideas through this form of public diary.
I like many R-rated things and I like many G-rated things. I just think that there are too many R-rated things right now, so I'm trying to create a new path for G-ratedness. I watch a lot of pro-wrestling, and when that show wants to draw attention to a wrestler, they turn him from a good guy to a bad guy. So I thought, heck, I can do the same with the G-rating. I can turn G-rated stuff from being good to being bad. As long as I keep the bad stuff G-rated, it doesn't violate its identity. And believe me, there's more room for G-rated stuff to be bad than you'd think.
The first thing I got to do is think of a better name for G-rated Shock Value. I think the best I've come up with so far is clean mental poison. I'm open for suggestions to other names, as I try in my own anonymous way to make G-rated stuff more controversial.
