Bad boys
Posted: July 24th, 2008 | Author: Anders | Filed under: TV & Film | 1 Comment »Just got back from Belgium. I’m sick as a dog like always after travelling. I’ve been listening to Radio For Peace International at work today and they are bashing Obama for not being progressive enough and I got home at around six. Started cooking pasta for Elin while reading an interview with Monty Colvin (once of Galactic Cowboys). Inbetween this and that I had 15 mins over and sat down by the TV. The american show COPS was on. Man! What a piece of crap show it is. This particular episode featured a buff cop arresting a prostitute on crack. During the arrest the viewers learn that she is the mother of nine children, she is currently on a high and that she got beat up recently. This very sad, but we know that it is real. It is the sad truth that is a lot of people’s lives.
What is unreal to me is that this in some twisted way is supposed to be entertainment – watching a condescending, patronizing cop spewing better-knowing on this poor woman, telling her that she is a bad role-model for her kids and making all the calls he needs to bring her to jail. Myself, I’m trying my best not to cry. Now, tell me why this is 7 o’clock entertainment on public television?
Bad boys, bad boys…
