Why I Do Not Read the Jacket Copy, #446

"Joining them this season is Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), who quickly learns there's nothing these agents would rather do than profile murderers and put them away!" -- the DVD box for my new Season 2 Criminal Minds DVDs

Now tell me honestly: isn't that on the list of lamest things ever? Seriously. It makes it sound like Mandy Patinkin is skipping around the plane singing, "We're gonna get a murderer, we're gonna get a murderer, wheeeee!"

Having tried to write synopses (shudder), I have some sympathy for the folks whose job it is to write these little thumbnails, but for heaven's sake.

I'm not a huge crank about it, but I did want to mention: there's a bit of a movement afoot among persons with handicaps to have people regard "that's so lame" as rather akin to "that's so gay".

Just a small thing, I know, but I thought I'd mention. Won't judge you if you decide not to adopt the shift, either. :)
