I witnessed a murder tonight.
I saw a murder tonight. It wasn't the first. I've seen rapes, murders, assaults, kidnappings...I've seen everything. I've been witness as children recounted their molestations. I've watched as women shot their husbands in the face. I've borne witness to men who beat their wives. I've seen serial killers and serial rapists in action. I've seen children killing their own mothers. I've seen the most horrible, most heinous acts of man acted out night after night for my benefit, and I should be a wreck. I should be running from these horrible visions. Sure, I should be, but I like SVU.
I've been watching Law and Order: Special Victims Unit for a while now, and I really like it. I watch as the detectives solve rape cases and kidnaps in 50-inch plasma splendor, and I'm entertained. The writing is good, the characters are engaging, and the bad guys are evil enough that you love hating them. I mean, let's face it; what's worse than a rapist, and who doesn't feel good about one being caught? In the glow of my TV, and in the safety of my home, I lay back on my couch and enjoy the fictitious violations of TV people.

These are the kinds of postings that will get the FBI knocking on your door.
I guess that's kind of my point. How healthy can it be to watch this all the time? If some shows are too violent for kids, then maybe this is too violent for me, regardless of how entertaining it might be. I do like the crime shows, though.
you bastard! when'd you get the 50 inch plasma?!?!? when do I get to drool at it?
