spiked-risk | Article | Happy Slaps: fact and fiction (1043 words)
Several schools have sought to tackle happy slapping by banning videophones or all mobiles from their premises.
Asking what happy slaps tell us about the modern world is a new way of saying that violence has become entertainment.
Perceptions of a happy slaps epidemic make sense because they are plausible in the present context.
TACKLE HAPPY - DVD (617 words)
In Tackle Happy, a movie that recounts the abortive cross-country Australian tour of "Puppetry of the Penis", we repeatedly see the utter passiveness of Friend, who goes by the nickname "Friendy," unnerve Morley, a hard-living bloke with a subtle disregard for others that manifests itself in antisocial episodes like driving without a license.
Tackle Happy hasn't a clue, although I'm criticizing the film for the agenda it doesn't have instead of back-patting the one that it seems to.
Tackle Happy was released on DVD in North America by newcomers Critical Mass, though "Cocky Productions" (ho ho) produced the film; tracking down the disc outside of Canadian retail may prove difficult.
