Why am I obsessed with Law and Order: SVU? Does that make me a creep? Does that make all fans of this intense, "sexually based crime" show future law breakers? I SURE HOPE NOT!!!
I've noticed that all of the episodes go into great detail about the crimes they're investigating. I'm watching USA, because it's home of all Law and Order reruns, and as I stated above, I'm obsessed...ANYWAY, on this particular episode, a foster family is accused of killing their son. It goes on to describe a priest leaving an indentation of his father's ring on the boy's skin. A cheese grater being dragged across a girl's face. I mean, that's extreme stuff! Not to mention the rape cases they show, every statement they take is very detailed about the entire rape! But, I'm still really intrigued by it all. I don't find it hard to watch or listen to. I guess that brings me to my point on how television shows, no matter how great they are, can desensitize people to horrible things; such as rape and murder. There's also a debate on how video games do the same thing to little kids, thus molding killers early on. I kind of believe this whole desensitizing theory, but I don't think I can go on to say that they make killers. But then again, no studies have been really shown to show the correlations.
I will still continue to watch shows like Law and Order:SVU until a study is done showing that I'll become a psychopath. Plus, I think Mariska Hargitay is gorgeous and Christopher Meloni isn't bad looking either.

I think Christopher Meloni is totally hot!
I love this show as well, but then again, I'm extremely interested in serial killers and brutal criminals. There's something about the absolute worst humanity has to offer that is extremely attractive and interesting to me!
