Wow - okay. You all know how I feel about things, and this article just pushed all my buttons at once. Kind of impressive really, to tick me off that much in such a short period of time.

Everyone read it, and give me your thoughts.

24 Article

A sample of the article:

The fictional portrayal of terrorists trying to detonate a nuclear bomb in the heart of an American city was an obvious metaphor for 9/11 and its aftermath. The past season of "24," then, was a dramatic expression of the idea that America is responsible for the attacks this country experienced or may yet suffer.

The creators of "24" would no doubt deny such an accusation. They'd claim they were merely trying to tell a compelling story, one that was exciting and filled with twists. But barely more than a year after 3,000 people were incinerated by Islamic fanatics, writers don't create a narrative that denies that reality just for the sake of entertainment. One would as soon expect a Holocaust survivor to tell tales portraying the Nazis as innocent victims of a frame-up by Jews — just for the fun of spinning a good yarn."

Wow, I'm really really annoyed at this writer right now. I mean, yeah, just read it and tell me if I should be.

Like, it's fiction, and in the fictional universe...wait, I'm too annoyed to even try to talk about it right now. Maybe a little later.
