Law & Order
I'm a big Law & Order fan in all it's incarnations. Well, I don't like L&O: Criminal Intent because the guy on there seems to know everything about absolutely everything and I wonder how there could possibly be any unsolved crimes in New York with him on the case. And I didn't really get a chance to sink my teeth into L&O: Trial by Jury because it wasn't on very long and it didn't really have a chance to find it's legs. Although it did have Amy Carlson who is absolutely gorgeous and I'd watch her in just about anything.
The point is this: I love courtroom drama stuff. I love reading about real-life court cases. I love reading about people in trouble with the law, mostly, I think, so I can feel superior. So here's a couple of people I can feel superior to:
Story 1: http://www.courttv.com/news/2005/0726/sexparties_ap.html
This woman threw drinking and drug parties for her son's friends and HAD SEX WITH THESE BOYS because, basically, she was unpopular in high school and wanted to be "a cool mom". Let's think about this for a moment... Her definition of a "cool mom" is to be a drugged out drunk slut? Oh yeah, I can see the schoolyard fights now: Sonny Boy (who's friends she was trying to impress) is really going to yell "Hey! My mom is cooler than your mom!" only to have the other guy say: "Damn! You're right! My mom won't buy me drugs or beer or sleep with ANY of my friends... not like YOUR cool mom!!"
I've raised a teenager. Trust me... they do NOT want you hanging around their friends. They barely want you to TALK to their friends. They want you to feed them, wash their clothes and be there when they need you... but that's about it. Ok, they want you to buy them beer... but they DO NOT WANT YOU SLEEPING WITH THEIR FRIENDS!!!
You have to wonder A) How low this woman's self-esteem was that she figured that the approval of 16 and 17 year old boys would make her feel better about herself and B) How much crap her son has had to deal with because of her.
I may not know much about raising kids, but I know enough not to sleep with his friends. Ok, his friends girlfriends, but that's another blog. *grin*
Story 2: http://www.courttv.com/people/2005/0725/simpson_ap.html
You have to at least admire this woman's ingenuity. She called or wrote companies and said she was Jessica Simpson's assistant and that Jessica *really* liked their stuff. These companies then sent her upwards of $12,000 worth of stuff.
But I don't know which is squickier - that the companies sent her this stuff or that she figured that they would. Free publicity is a wonderful thing, but wouldn't you at least try and contact the celebrity (and I use the term loosely) through "official" channels so that you don't end up looking like publicity hungry posers when it comes out that you sent it to some trailer park trash who *said* she was connected to said "celebrity"?
Maybe that's just me, though...
