Law & Order research department: hire me!
When you have something about “Montreal” in the show, consider doing what we call “research” on this city.
To wit:
- teens don’t really go to a place where the drinking age is *higher* to get drunk — I mean, sure, people go to NYC, but it’s not to get drunk, which you can essentially do once you’re 14 here;
- you cannot get into McGill straight out of high school in Quebec. Will. Not. Happen;
- in any case, it’s *really easy* to get in, as a Quebec resident: people aren’t impressed that you got accepted there;
- and furthermore, there’s no such thing as early admission there;
- MUN-treal, not MAWN-treal. MUN MUN MUN.

When television touches on something you know about, you can see how accurate that part of that show is. That’s easy. The hard part is realizing *all* the information you’ve absorbed from the glass teat is as accurate as that show about MAWN-treal. :O

I don’t watch tv shows for accuracy, I watch them for fun. But it ruins my fun when they pronounce Montreal wrong. Or I enjoy bitching. You pick.

See, if you knew everything your fun would always be ruined. On the other hand, if you knew nothing your fun would never be ruined. Maybe you should get a lobotomy….

No doubt there’s fun in watching television and bitching about the stoopidity, but there’s fun in not watching television at all, too — I get to pretend to be superior! I have more time for the net, too. :>
