Murdertainment

In class last Tuesday, while discussing crime television shows Dr. Maclin said something that stuck with me.  Something among the lines of, "People who have had to deal with murder in their lives often do not like watching shows like these." That made sense, and reminded me of a This American Life episode in December.  You really only need to listen to the promo or the prologue to hear the specific case in which someone does not like that type of entertainment.  I also found the Parents of Murdered Children group interesting so I went to their site and found an article highlighting their feelings about 'murdertainment'.  I just thought this was interesting and thought that you would too.  It's difficult to live a completely politically correct life, and now knowing this, it might be even harder.
