Dang… talk about giving it all away in her “review” and she is really way over the top by the end of it. I don’t think Dexter is a show she should be watching if she is going to take it that seriously.

I hope it isn’t because of that review… she was a bit hysterical about the whole thing and over dramatized the show.
I hope you find another reason not to watch the show, based on what she wrote it wouldn’t be fair.

seriously, I have a hard time believing someone has watched that show for 4 seasons and now they’re offended? W T F ?
Dang! It was purely brilliant writing. And if her point is that she can’t believe they used a real baby in that scene, then she is an eFFing moron.
Has she no clue how film is made? and for that matter, maybe she should spend a day on a Disney set and see what those kids experience.
If she’s got a problem with children in film, fine, write about that … more than enough valid points to be made … but to single out that one scene is absurdly ridiculous.
You cannot judge the issues of children in the industry based upon the scenes you see in the final product.
Visit the set if you want to talk about that topic.
Keeryst!
BTW, Babs, Dexter is one of the best TV series I have ever seen.

“Less than one-tenth of the federal budget was spent on children in 2008, $295 billion out of a total of $2,983 billion in outlays. Well over a third of the federal budget (38 percent) was allocated to the elderly and disabled for the non-child portions of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The children’s share of the tax expenditure budget was also less than 10 percent.

As the ARRA provisions expire, we project that spending on children will shrink over the next decade, falling to 1.9 percent of GDP by 2019, if current policies continue unchanged. In contrast to the projected decline in spending on children, spending on the elderly and disabled is projected to rise steadily. Over the next 10 years, the non-child portions of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are expected to increase 2.3 percentage points (from 8.0 to 10.3 percent of GDP). In other words, the increase in spending on these three programs in the absence of reform will exceed total spending on children. There is a growing danger that the escalating costs of these major entitlements, as well as growing interest payments on the national debt, will crowd out spending on children’s programs.

I find it deeply depressing that someone like Kucinich gets zero air time on the MSM while McCain and Lieberman are all over the teevee every day with their nonsense.
at the Dem Convention last summer Kucinich gave one of the best speeches of the whole week, and almost no one aired it.

“Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) “in a face-to-face meeting” yesterday “that he will vote against a health care bill that includes a public option or a provision that would expand Medicare.” Democrats had “thought they had secured Mr. Lieberman’s agreement to go along” with a compromise, leading a Senate Democratic aide to call Lieberman’s announcement “a total flip-flop.”

“You have to take out the Medicare buy-in. You have to forget about the public option. You probably have to take out the class act which was a whole new entitlement program that will in future years put us further into the deficit,” Lieberman told CBS’ Bob Schieffer Sunday.
“I want to tell you, we could pass a health care reform bill this week with more than 60 votes and it would be bipartisan if we just took a few things out of the bill as it is today,” said Lieberman.”
