A phone conversation a few minutes ago:
Meryl: I just saw the most bizarre news report I’ve ever seen.
Sarah: Yes?
Meryl: I’m watching Fox News, and they have a segment on a guy who’s been arrested for a bizarre sex crime. He was caught in the act with a horse.
Sarah: Ewwww.
Meryl: And then they show a picture of the horse!
Sarah: I thought they’re not supposed to show pictures of the victim.
[Pause for long, loud laughter.]
Meryl: And there were two horses! One was grey and one was brown. Maybe it was file footage.
Sarah: Probably stock footage.
Meryl: Then again, they did say it wasn’t his first offense.
Sarah: They were showing all of his victims! They’re not supposed to do that!
Yeah, that’s why I call Sarah. To wonder why on earth Fox News found this an appropriate news story, even in the ten o’clock slot. And to mock it.
Is it sweeps week or something? And really—did they have to show pictures of horses? Because, it’s not like we don’t know what a horse is, or anything.
Good Lord. Our culture really has defined deviancy down.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW major gross…wonder if the assailant had Clerks II in his video collection.
Of course it was stock footage.
Livestock footage.
I guess the guy didn’t know that neigh means neigh…
The horse’s name was “Sugar.” I guess it was heterosexual bestiality.
