Probably out of morbid curiosity, I watched an episode of CSI: Miami last night and was struck by how far gone from reality TV is. In this episode of the popular series, a conman hatches a ludicrous scheme. First he murders a rich guy by rigging his Jaguar’s brake mechanism, sending him crashing into the wall near his office.

Stood on the sidelines with fellow rebel zorexplusalpha while foxtrot_sierra and dead_caribou and the rest went up there. Maybe it’s just old high school habits.
