I made a wmv copy. It’s 11 MB, I’ll send it to anyone who wants it.

It was a great play and movie. But the incredibly filthy language wasn’t necessary, IMO.

The video seems to still be there, but there are those who don’t want the sheep to wake up, so anything can happen.

It isn't quite incredible, by today's standards. Parlor language isn't really adequate to get the point across.
One of the reasons we are in this mess is that we have been too damned genteel for our own good.

Paddy Chayefsky was a genius who predicted in Network that Entertainment would take over the News division, that reality shows would thrive (witness the videos of the communist groups creating mayhem) and tha mega corporation would control everything.
The best exchange of the movie was this with Ned Beatty as Jensen explaining the new world order to Howard Beale:
“You are an old
man who thinks in terms of nations
and peoples. There are no nations!
There are no peoples! There are no
Russians. There are no Arabs!
There are no third worlds! There is
no West!
There is only one holistic
system of systems, one vast and
immane, interwoven, interacting,
multi-variate, multi-national
dominion of dollars! petro-dollars,
electro-dollars, multi-dollars!,
Reichmarks, rubles, rin, pounds and
shekels!
It is the international
system of currency that determines
the totality of life on this planet!
That is the natural order of things
today! That is the atomic,
subatomic and galactic structure of
things today!

Sadly, this kind of spirit is sadly absent from most in our “modern” society. Most of today’s people wouldn’t find this resolve within themselves until they’re staring, goggle-eyed, at the business end of a firing squad — wondering, in those last few seconds, how on earth things could have come to this...
