Dana, an excellent link! I even had a double-geekout moment when I saw the link's name. I spent a good portion of my vacation getting my mom hooked on I, Claudius, (it took her three eps or so to figure out who was who, but she loved all the murder and backstabbing, both literal and figurative) so seeing "Praetorian Guard" gave me Roman soap opera flashbacks.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I might miss the whole going away party anyway, since my outside meeting is starting later than expected. Sweet.

publicly incite extreme thinness.
How does one "publicly incite" thinness?
"Oh my gawd!!!! It's Mary-Kate and Ashley in that bistro! And they're NOT EATING!!!!! Let's be just like them, RIGHT NOW!!!!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How does one "publicly incite" thinness?
Yeah, there seems to be a billion ways to define that....

There's a Callahan cartoon like that: Two gorgeous twentysomethings walking into the Bulimia Cafe...one says to the other "No wonder you feel awful, you've not thrown up anything all day."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think it's hilarious that France, of all countries, would pass such a law. Isn't its national industry made up of impossibly thin young women and middle-aged women who claim that French food will keep you skinny?
(I don't know what French men do all day.)
If they make this into a Law and Order episode, I might have to watch.
Except, if it's L&O, it'll be all about who killed whom, and that is just not as funny as who hurt whose baby howler monkey feelings.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
One of the tootsie pops in the bag I bought to put out for Library week has a defective stick. That means I have to eat it and not subject anyone else to it, right?
