Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 29, Period 1, 04.25.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: I should really focus on the work stuff today. Therefore, light interaction from me. And one last movie day for you. Class Info Post.]

"Hello, students! Remember, next Tuesday is your final. Since it's been such a persistent metaphor this semester, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a question about the Tricycle of Justice."

"Thursday will be a review day. Bring any question you have about Justice and I'll answer it! But for today, you get off easy. Today we'll be watching one last episode off Crime & Punishment for the semester. This is the controversial episode where a party clown was found dead in the Mayor's kitchen pantry."

"This week's metaphor is the sun, while this week's extra credit is to bring is some snazzy, summery sunglasses."


"Enjoy!"

"Any ideas what the clown was doing there in the first place?" Callisto asked.

"The Mayor's son had a clown fetish," Marty answered. "Doink-Doink was trying to extort money from the guy."

"So you thing the mayor's son hired Chung-Chung to do the deed?"

"You would think that," Marty replied. "But typically the show will do a little twist. In the end? My money is on the butler hiring chung-chung."

"C'mon, just because the butler knows far more about this than he should doesn't mean he did it."

"How else would he know so much?" Angel asked.

"I don't know, maybe he has secret cameras installed thoughout the house to help with his butlering?"

Re: Watch the Show, Discuss, Pass Notes, Chat [Class 29]

Angel scoffed. "If he was a real butler he wouldn't need that."

"Are you saying 'real butlers'," Yes those were airquotes she was using. "Are all seeing or something?"

"I'm just saying in my day they didn't need any fancy stuff to do what they do," Angel said. "So if this guy's got his finger on the pulse of every security cam in the building, it's suspicious."

"Or he's just paranoid."

"He's the only one who has regular access to the pantry. Plus he's been practically a father to the kid with the Mayor being so neglectful of his family life."

"So why would he risk leaving the son alone if he got caught and sent to jail?"

"Good point," Marty agreed, "But maybe in the end this will be the undoing of the butler's plot. He indulged the son too much with sandwiches and clowns and created a monster. When the facts come to life about the clowns' extortion scheme, I'm betting the butler will come forward and admit his involvement."

"In the hopes of getting the son the help he truly needs?"

Re: Watch the Show, Discuss, Pass Notes, Chat [Class 29]

Marty nods. "That's the pattern the show usually takes. Dead clowns. Evil sons. Enabling Butlers and then compassionate Justice."

Aeryn considers this, and says, "I'm really not sure I want to know..."

"I understand. To me clowns are just one step above mimes," Marty said with a nod. "They should all be punished."

Re: Watch the Show, Discuss, Pass Notes, Chat [Class 29]

[can_be_more]

She raises an eyebrow. "Mimes?"

Re: Watch the Show, Discuss, Pass Notes, Chat [Class 29]

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto shuddered. "Evil things. Back home it's no crime to kill a mime."

Marty nodded. "They deserve what they get."

Re: Watch the Show, Discuss, Pass Notes, Chat [Class 29]

"They're the white-faced scourge of society. Evil beyond comprehension," Marty said seriously. "They hang out at parks and silently mock you then ask for money."

Re: Watch the Show, Discuss, Pass Notes, Chat [Class 29]

"Are they human?"

Re: Watch the Show, Discuss, Pass Notes, Chat [Class 29]

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"They are. They're like a cult," Marty said quietly. "If you ever see one I highly recommend punching it repeatedly."

"I'll do that," says Aeryn, though she's still not sure what one looks like.
