Reality TV.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Natascha Kampusch told viewers of Austrian television what it's like to be locked in a cellar for 10 years tonight. She's gone global. In fact she's top of the ratings. Natascha was all but forgotten about by Austrians a decade ago, but now reproduction and syndication rights of her interview have been traded worldwide. Each country & language giving it's own spin & peculiar title. I phoned my local television station which airs the interview tomorrow to complain at its choice of title which in English is "Natasha's confessions". I'm not really sure how you spin that sort of thing. But its bigger than Crocman or 911 or even Guantanamo. & it is most certainly not a story from someone who has to confess anything. Behind it all I feel very disturbed by the media attention being focussed on this case & the possibility it may influence other criminals in the future. |
