I find the current mania for shows where brilliant mentalists use their powers of observation to solve crimes and use all kinds of groovy gadgets to dissect crime scenes and eviscerate criminals until they confess. I find it interesting because the amount of murders that are solved and someone convicted has fallen steadily since the 1960's. Maybe the rash of shows is just wish fulfillment. People wish someone was smart enough to know what was going on and cared enough about their job to actually investigate when things went wrong.
Rockford CSI
An ant crawled
Into the bottle of Grolsch
I left on the counter last night
And drowned like an American
Tourist in a Dutch brothel.
I notified the Coroner’s Office
And they have deemed it
Death by misadventure
Though no one is sure
Who to notify.
