Dun Dun

Apparently the gods have decided I should continue to read the CNN Criminal Section to get my Law and Order SVU fix.

Today's entry involve a father throwing his four children off a bridge in Alabama after getting into a "dispute" with his wife. What in the fuck kind of dispute causes a man to throw four children (3,2,1, 4 months) off a fucking bridge?! I feel like Jay right now in Dogma just going WHAT THE FUCK?!

This one is straight from the video store where two men wheeled a dead man to a check-cashing place to cash in his social security check. No more Weekend At Bernies for you.

From our very own backyard, US Marshalls found four dead bodies while serving an eviction notice this morning here in DC. It happened in Marion Barry's ward so this shouldn't come as a big surprise.

Finally, a crazy story for everyone, a religious zealot in Idaho cut off his hand when he thought he saw the "sign of the beast". That's right he cut it off and microwaved it, and he's an eligible voter.

Sometimes You Just Know

We all know that sound, the dun dun, or as City Cat loves to dance to, duh dun duh duh da da da dun dun. You can't escape it because no matter what time of day it is, Law and Order is on somewhere on cable. Many of their episodes come from real life crimes that they alter for the screen. When reading the news you think certain things will be good for TV, and others are a sure fire Law and Order episode once the writers come off strike.

The funny thing about this case is that I may have already seen this episode, and it happened long before 2004. Hell, it could be an original Law and Order episode that could be re-done for the best Law and Order out there, Special Victims Unit. I know everyone thinks the Sopranos may be the best show ever, Seinfeld may be the best sitcom ever, I don't agree with any of them but that's not the point. SVU could very easily be the best spinoff ever, competing with favorites Frasier and Star Trek (anything since the original series).

UPDATE-I shouldn't go to the Crime section of CNN.com, it's nothing but SVU episode ideas all over the place.
