Reading: Cobb [Sin]

Focusing on the Gothic that is evident throughout literature, movies, journalism, fashion and music, Cobb draws on key elements of the previous chapters human nature. Our culture's media landscape also reveals societies obsession with sin and moral transgression. We love to see someone fail as much as we enjoy seeing them succeed. Watching a video of someone getting hit in the nuts is always funny. Well, unless the video is you. I'm sure Adam & Eve would have thought twice about eating those apples if they knew there was a possibility of a hidden camera [e.g. God's omnipresence].
