Safe cause?

A comment on Stagno's blog prompted Peklectrick to set up his own blog to write about music, philosophy etc In a recent post he discusses the recent campaign by MTV against women trafficking and sex slavery. He says that 'it is tragic how so many women have their dreams and lives shattered by being forced into this slavery'. From Outer Space:

The people behind the sex industry are generally unknown criminals. The people behind sweatshops are businessmen. Big businessmen. Brands that MTV needs for advertising money. MTV cares more about its image than anything else. It just wants to look progressive. Think about all the campaigns MTV does. Not one has an identifiable culprit. The ones that come to mind are about racism, AIDS and the sex industry. All commendable causes mind you. And all are necessary campaigns, but it's apparent conscious effort to take up causes without identifiable guilty parties is fishy to say the least. The way I see it is that MTV just wants to take up 'safe' causes. The day MTV campaigns against all slavery and calls for a boycott against established companies who use such production methods, is the day that I start taking it seriously..
