American Psycho was filmed in Toronto Canada in 1999. An estimated 238K people died in Canada in 1999. Yet the "media" remains silent.

funny because, this is actually closer to what "The Method" really is than any of the weird shit you hear about (a way of analyzing text into small compartments of meaning and what their transitive emotional properties are and then considering the impact those words would have on another person when said with different intentions, and picking one based on surrounding context clues also found in the text)
