So sometimes it gets to the point where a show becomes so politically correct that I can't watch it anymore. Law and Order did that about five years ago. I couldn't take how every criminal was some white guy who was either a businessman or a clergyman or a Republican. So I stopped watching it and that is really hard because the various series are playing somewhere every minute of the day.
Now it is the turn of "Blue Bloods." This half ass cop show is shot in the city. In fact they seem to shoot every other day on Court St. It is kind of fun to see your favorite stores on a regular prime time show. But last weeks episode just was too much to take.
In the episode a loving Catholic father strangles his daughter because she wanted to date a Muslim and convert. Like there a lot of that happening. Where are the shows about the honor killings of girls by their Muslim parents? Where are the shows about Muslim kids harassing and attacking regular American kids that happens every day on Atlantic Avenue? They had to have a guy murder his daughter because she didn't want to be Catholic anymore? When the fuck did that ever happen? Ever?
Just another attack on the Catholic Church by the liberal Hollywood establishment.
I used to be a Tom Selleck fan but he lost me by being in this piece of shit series.
Never again.

I have faith that this whole bigotry witch-hunt will end badly for the accusers. There is a disturbing confusion of male factors with malefactors.
I would counsel giving up TV altogether. You'll see how mild the withdrawal symptoms are. After all, what are you withdrawing from but the constant insult of PC thrown in your face.
Here are some great movies in no particular order that I watched recently on youtube:
Cop, with James Woods. Fast paced, absorbing.
The Croupier, Brit flick with a great lead actor, can't remember his name.
Prizzi's Honor, whole film available if you can put up with Italian sub-titles
The Night Stalker, the first of the fantastic Kolchak made for TV films.
If you simply must have TV there's Hulu which is fairly inexpensive I believe.

On second thought, a wigotry bitch-hunt over there would be highly amusing, especially if it left a pile of merkins.
Croupier stars Clive Owen, directed by Mike Hodges ("Flash Gordon!").
