Tsunami fatigue

The news media is still trying to milk the Asian tsunami disaster. Shops still have containers out for collections. I can not help wondering, knowing that there is a darker side to human nature, how much has been skimmed from the collections. It happens.
There will be more disasters this year and will we continue to give or will fatigue set in and people will say "Oh not another one"?
Karma is what this is all for. The world is paying for all the decadence and its materialistic attitude.
There was an advert for beer on the television. The setting is nighttime in winter, a snow covered mountain setting with pine trees and in a clearing there are masses of young people dancing to music played by a DJ. They are waving their arms in the air as when the beer arrives they are sprayed with snow. I found this advert very unsettling. Masses of humanity having a good time not caring about anything but pleasure.

Where is the world heading?
