More furries on TV

[slycat]

Just finished watching that CSI show which features an investigation into a murder int he furry fandom. From my perspective as a fur who has been to a convention, I found it hilarious :) I really don't know what made them cover such a subject but in honesty it was rather well done. I don't think it was made tongue in cheek but the one liners the detectives come out with are just classics :D

If you can muster the download, it's worth a watch, just to see how furries are being protrayed to the American masses these days. I can't really understand how anyone could be offended or upset by this in the fandom as people obviously have been. I guess they don't have a sense of humour ;)

To quote Camrath, "it's factually wrong.. but it's great entertainment"

I must admit it seemed very real, I was expecting Uncle Kage to pop out! The music was good and I dont know why people were whining, I thought it was good!

Those who whinge just didnt like how close to home it hit them :P

Yea it was entertaining, and up to a point fair to us, until it all got sexually motivated, and then what of the poor furs who aren't like that and are trying to convince their parents that there's nothing wrong with being furry?

The show actually seemed to imply that ALL furries got into scritch piles and had sex with each other in fursuits.

Having said that, it was funny, especially the way the killing turned out, it's just a shame they had to go down the sexual road yet again.

When is the spiritual side going to get a bit of positive coverage.....oh yeah sex sell programmes.

I've got it burned as a VCD so you could even watch it on a DVD player if you so wish ;)

bung me your address to my email addy, slycat@fursuit.co.uk and I'd be happy to send it off to you.

Presumably this episode won't get an airing in the UK for a while yet. It seems (from this entry) that there was some furry input to the episode, and they managed to moderate some of the worse excesses that were originally planned. It could have been worse....

Unlike, of course, so much other drama. Anyone getting upset at the portrayal of furs in that show (not that I've actually seen it, I should emphasise) should probably never watch Priscilla Queen Of The Desert if they're gay/TV, Wargames if they're a hacker, Jurassic Park if they know what Unix or genetics look like, Cinderella if they have a stepmother, and so on.
