Dateline is Obsessed

If Victoria's Secret doesn't work out...there's always Cato Plus.

Journalistic exposes have long been valuable in effecting change in society, and I have no doubt the tradition will continue. Whether it be Upton Sinclair's graphic description of the horrors of the Chicago meat packing industry circa 1905 or Tyra Banks bravely facing the atrocious treatment the obese face every day (or maybe it's just that shawl--yeesh), those in the biz feel compelled to raise societal awareness and work for the common good....which brings me to Dateline.

What the hell, sickos? No news show has genuinely reveled in the explicit discussion of prurient subject matter quite like this...or practically squealed with glee during the sadistic revealing of would-be molesters. Now on it's 100000th "internet predator" special, I get the distinct feeling the producers, writers, hosts, etc. are really getting off on the whole thing. How many towns can you go to and set up the same sting (including Fairfax, VA...gawd NOVA is sick)? My favorite part is that one in every 5 creepy guys who show up admit they've seen a Dateline on catching their fellow cretins so enamored of underage girlies (or boy-ies).

Maybe everyone's tired. Enough with Iraq, enough with global warming, enough of other newsworthy events. Revealing dirty pervs on tv is fun! Look at their stunned faces! You mean it's NOT a 14-year-old cheerleader who's hot and ready for me here??? But but but...I'm a TEACHER! I'm a COACH!

And why do they keep bringing wine coolers? At 14 or 15 these chicks would be guzzling Miller Lite or maybe even some vodka (schnapps for the more faint of heart) by now.

And in case you missed it--a note on MSNBC's website assures you:
Missed the special?
Dateline will continue doing these investigations, so stay tuned.
