I swear I'm not being judgmental here...
I was just struck by the irony of the proximity of the threads involving Ultimate Fighting and Sin City. This is purely a rhetorical question: Which is worse, actual people doing violence against each other to the cheers of millions, or a stylized depiction of violence in a work of fiction?
Like I said, I'm making no judgments, and I'm not even sure I have an opinion on the matter. I just wonder when, exactly, violence for the sake of violence becomes objectionable.

It's got to be different for every person I guess. In response to your question, I would say the latter, as I think the violence in Sin City is far worse than anything you see in Ultimate Fighting. Ultimate Fighting has turned out to be pretty tame compared to what I initially thought it would be. Just my opinion... |
