White Bear

        In the episode of Black Mirror, "White Bear", there was a girl who was being punished everyday for a crime that she had committed. The crime that she committed was recording a little girl getting burned while her boyfriend was burning the little girl, eventually killing her. The whole story was basically a form of revenge. The people would pretend like they were getting killed, and like they were trying to kill her. When they were pretending like they were trying to kill the main character, instead of the people helping her, they would all get out there phones and start recording her. Basically, they were trying to make her feel like the little girl that she had recorded getting murdered. Everyday they would erase her memory and do the whole thing over again. I wondered how long they had planned to do that. Who has the time to do that EVERYDAY? Of course the girl was wrong for doing what she did, but torturing her every single day doesn't make them any better of a person. The only thing I could think about when I saw the host of the show cross out another day on the calendar is "Do you have a life?". Why would someone want to spend everyday of their life making someone else miserable. My other question would be, what kind of government did they have? How did the government allow them to keep this girl just to torture her? Was this supposed to be her form of prison? If I were the people who were the actors I would at least ask for a break on the weekends because they literally had to be there ALL day long. You would also have to pay me a lot of money to just throw my life away like that because that's basically what they were doing.
