The Box

November 1st, 2002

"Stay with me.  Stay forever.  Stay Tonight."

The Box

Fucking Lurker Girl.  In America it's called spying.  I'm getting Al Gore to pass a law so that people will be detected on his internet upon entering.  Revolt! She is not the only one.  They have invaded our privacy in a public forum for far too long.  Let's teach those goddamn peepers a lesson!!!

I wanted to bring my old column back for good, but I wanted to start it off on a high note...  So my obvious conclusion was to attack the most popular columnist at TAC (along with her people) in the opening moments of my column. 

I say it worked pretty damn good.  Moving on. 

As some may know, I'm currently casting for the feature I'm directing, and I'm glad to say that just from the few places we've dropped the line at, we have had lots of people show interest.  This, however, does not mean they were right for the role.  There are tons left to cast, so I've got a clean slate right now...  I know it will get harder with more options.  It always does.  Yet, as much as the topic of my film never gets old, I must focus on what this week's column is all about... 

CSI. 

America's Most Watched Show. 

CSI on CBS, they say. 

Others go on about how much they love the show. 

I sit back in shock. 

How can a show so ridiculous be broadcast on Prime Time Television for this long, and not get called on how bad it is? Well, I guess we can ask Jay Leno, but that's beside the point.  As long as CSI remains on the air, I know death is indeed eminent... 

The fact that they have an expert serving as a technical advisor on a show that uses partly-fictional procedures to solve crimes that are sometimes taken from real-life cases is beyond me.  It's like they read a book on how to make millions off of a simple idea for simple people.  If you would like another example, see my rant about how much of a precaution Will and Grace is in about a month or so. 

In the case of CSI, the lead Dickhead, Grissim (or however the hell his dumb ass character spells it) brings an added annoyance to the fold.  With his smug, first-guess-is-ALWAYS-dead-on approach to crime scene investigation sickens me, as it should sicken any other red blooded American or black blooded Republican.  When I go off on this same rant in every day conversation as I'm known to do (most often and recently at a old folk's nursing home), the most common defense is, "B-b-but...  T-they go inside the b-bodies!" After I finish turning their oxygen waaaaaaaay down, my response is always "Well give that gimmick to a show that's worth a damn," like Wheel Of Fortune.  Every time somebody buys a vowel that's on the board, we can take a trip into a corpse to retrieve it."

All I'm saying is this: If that's the only reason you watch a show, great.  That's wonderful, and I hope you and your commie buddies are very happy in the future.  However, when this shit is on during prime time on the weekday, and NOT on UPN or some second-hand network like that, that's where I draw the line.  I'm sure CBS could pull some creative writer who's starving up in a loft in New York City, and come up with a good show, and not something CSI. 

They have not done this... 

They have created a spin-off series called CSI: Miami.  I would mention the cast, but the unholy should not be uttered on electronic equipment of any kind, for they will sniff the foul air about them and summon one of their many Christopher Lowel demons to give chase to the speaker. 

We all know who I'm talking about when I mention the Lead Actor from CSI: Miami, so I will share this observation with you... 

Do you remember those flat containers with magnetized flakes and a pen that let you create beards or unibrows on the illustrated face plastered on the inside? That picture looks exactly like the Lead Actor... 

If you didn't get that, just think of a strung-out Ron Howard with a permanent grin like the Joker and you'll get the picture. 

Among all this horrible TV, I still find time to bitch about current events...  Like what in the FUCK was this white van business with the sniper? True, the actual car used looked almost identical to a white van, but still (I put some stank on that sarcasm, eh?).  I know they need to go off of eye witness accounts, but eye witnesses are always the most stupid people around who would say that their mother did the crime, just to get on TV.  It's sad to think that the real Snipers could have driven right by the people who swear to protect us, as they stop another white van due to the information provided by Ramon, the tuna fisherman and avid huffer of various glue, paint, and marker products. 

I wish to close this column with a musical selection I chose last night.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to hear it, so just go with it, and move to the music within in yourself...
