The Dangerous Lure of EntertaimentThis image is a satire about the dangers of consuming too much entertainment. It depicts a man reclining in a disgusting man cave filled with VHS, 90's movies posters and half-eaten food. His VCR is regurgitating a mass of VHS tape that is emerging into a seductive woman. She is alluring the sitting man while preparing to wrap him up with tape from her dress and destroy him.
