Movie and TV cliches - Gerald Rice - 04-27-2005
I know we all have a few, but the one stuck in my craw right now is women who boldly barge into the men's room to have it out with whatever jerk. Is this somehow supposed to be empowering catching a man in a vulnerable situation? I thought it was just illegal. If a man did that in a movie or TV we'd think of him as perverse. Anybody else have some?

I want to know why women reporters are allowed in NFL locker rooms but they won't let Marv Alpert into a WNBA locker room.

Well...this is sort of a twist on the sports bit. (And pretty humorous writing)

Personally, I don't think women reporters should be allowed in the men's locker room, and vice versa. If they want fairness in exclusive post game reporting then ban all reporters from the locker rooms and catch the players as they exit or in a predetermined area.

I concur. I don't think the locker room is an appropriate place for ANY reporter, male or female. It's ludicrous that reporters can't wait for an athlete to excrete, eliminate, or change into civvies.

My first instinct when the page opened up was, "hey, she's kind of cute in a jock girl sort of way." Then I read the article. I think I need to go brush my teeth now.

One of the cliches that has always kind of stuck in my craw is the Coroner/Medical examiner eating thing. In a ton of movies and TV shows if there is a scene were someone needs to visit the Coroner/ME to get information about a particularly gruesome death, the Coroner/ME munching on some food as he/she deals with this nasty corpse is really over done. Not only is this stupid but if they are doing an examination for legal or medical purposes the presence of food in the area has the potential to contaminate the evidence/corpse.

Well...the part about the contamination might be true, and might not.
But I remember my first look at my medical school cadaver...The pale flesh, the formaldehyde stink...almost hurled. A month later I was sipping a coke and munching Cheetos as I dissected.
We're an amazingly adaptable species. We can get used to just about anything.
