I didn't. I'm kind of twitchy about the case, in the whole local aspect way.
But the local paper was not, umm. Impressed.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
just knowing that every channel change will be precise is tremendous comfort. Then! Dual tuners!
What does this mean? We are seriously considering it. I read Hil's experience, anyone else think there's reason that these boxes will last less than five years? Are they easy to set up for ignormami?

HA! I went back and deleted my *ahem* strong language because, well, you know. But seriously, man. Be glad you missed it.
Also, which local paper was it? I'm curious to see if they had an issue with one of my biggest issues.
ETA: For those just joining us, this is re: the Lifetime Green River miniseries.

Kristen, I think it was the Times, but it could have been the PI.
The big issue they had was the pulled from their asses, not from the headlines, victim. Who haunts our stern and sad police hero Dave. Or something.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner. That was my biggest issue also. And related to that issue, the fauxictim is this fresh-faced, pretty, white kewpie doll. It's like the message you take away from that is, wow, clearly, these women were unimportant because someone felt the need to invent a better victim just to make the audience care. The whole thing seemed white-washed (and I actually do mean race) for Lifetime, while at the same time feeling incredibly exploitative and salacious.
Bah. I need to cleanse my brain now.

Now I feel like I miss a very interesting conversation.
Must read Natter faster.

Yeah, my head would have exploded. I mean, I have a lot of rage at the way the media covers victims who were possible or probable sex workers and the ways in which they're dehumanized in reporting to start with. So I think, yes. Boom.

ahhh! April Fools Day has infected my websites! I went to look at comics and they were ALL WRONG!

I kinda went close to boom myself. You know something's bad when I consider the highlight to be the 27 seconds that James Marsters was on screen as Ted Bundy. I mean, seriously.
I think I should stick to documentaries and news programs. These not-so-true-crime movies are pissing me off on a regular basis. I suppose they're geared towards people who don't know much about the actual cases. Said people are less likely to get irritated by the liberties they take.
Like, phone calls that never happened. Fuckers.
