Leftists like TV "shows about damaged people" - part two

I don't know if you remember this post that I did earlier this month.

Tonight we watched a movie that my son recommended: Dead Man's Shoes which is basically about a British soldier who takes revenge on the thugs who tortured his mentally retarded brother years before. This is what I wrote to my son after watching it:

I'm just a simple redneck and I couldn't wait for at least one killing of a subhuman thug. It was almost comic relief when it finally happened. One of the reasons why I'm not a big fan of modern Brit movies is that the writers have forgotten Shakespeare's advice about changing moods (comic relief in the midst of tragedy etc) and they can be relentlessly tedious. The other reason is the bad technology: Brits just don't seem to have heard of post-production over-dubbing and the sound quality usually stinks. The "marbles in the mouth"accents don't help either.

I read a survey the other day about what TV shows are popular with the two American political groups. Leftists like awful bleak shows about people with mental illnesses. Us redneck Republicans like escapist shows. I figured that's because we face reality head-on all day being filthy capitalist pigs and want to relax and watch something cheerful and uplifting when we come home whereas unionized Lefties goof off all day long at "work" and then have pangs of liberal guilt and want to be tortured for ripping off the tax-payers.

I just wish that the thugs could be euthanized like mad dogs before they destroy others' lives. I'd gladly do it myself if it were legal.
