So I was surfing television tonight and there was a Dateline or Primetime special about sexual predators. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032600/. Here's the deal - it was sponsored by all these slasher movies like SawIII and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

My disgust was with the hypocrisy. Here was this show ostensibly offering (albeit as "newstertainment") this story of the basest of all human flaws; pedophelia. And to pay for it, they were feeding the beast they condemned. Vice sells in the fake-news biz, and no vice is more vile than victimizing children.
