Reactions to violence

I'm a sucker for attention metrics. There's something that bugs me about this video:

It's not the treatment of the dissidents that bugs me most, it's the attention such videos garner: 6483 views at the moment! The Space Camp Song (although funny :)) has over 1.3 million views. Although there's a clear explanation to this disconnect, it's just weird to see how desensitized we can get.
