and, uh - and we do that.
But don't you feel
such shows contribute...
to a social climate of violence
and sexual malaise?
- And do you care?
- Certainly, I care.
I care enough, in fact,
to give my viewers a -
a harmless outlet for their fantasies
and their frustrations.
As far as I'm concerned,
that's a socially positive act.
What about it, Nicki?
Is it socially positive?
Well, I think we live
in overstimulated times.
We crave stimulation
for its own sake.
We always want more, whether
it's tactile, emotional or sexual...
and I think that's bad.
Then why did you wear that dress?
- Sorry?
- That dress.
It's very stimulating, and-and it's red.
You know what Freud would
have said about that dress.
And he would've been right.
I admit it.
I live in a highly excited
state of overstimulation.
Listen, I'd really like to take you

to dehumanization?
The television screen has become
the retina of the mind's eye.
Yes.
That's why I refuse
to appear on television...
except on television.
Of course, O'Blivion is not
the name I was born with.
That's my television name.
Soon all of us
will have special names...
names designed to cause
the cathode ray tube to resonate.
- Yes.
- Yes, I am. Very interested.
Nicki, is Max Renn
a menace to society?
I'm not sure.
He's certainly a menace to me.
When does the plot,
I mean, who is this black guy?
Is he a political prisoner?
There's no plot.
It just goes on like that for an hour.
- Goes on like what?
- Like that.
Torture, murder...
Mutilation.
