    Oh my gosh, I just stumbled in here and I just watched the video. That was the most hilarious parody I've ever seen! Of course I'm trying to watch it at 11.17 at night when I'm supposed to be asleep and I started coughing, trying not to laugh as loud. It didn't work... :lol: :lol:

    I think the other "weeble" might've been Tripp or another detective. Sounded like something Tripp might have said, maybe...

    They mentioned it on Fox news yesterday (the only reason I know this is because my sister forced me to watch it and they were talking about how you don't have to be a police officer to know that bleach cleans up blood, and that anyone who watches CSI would know that.)

    Remains found at home of former radio host
    Tarp-covered body was in crawl space

    By LEVI PULKKINEN
    Seattle P-I REPORTER

    Seattle police are investigating "badly decomposed" human remains found Thursday at the Queen Anne home of former radio talk show host Mike Webb.

    Webb, 52, was last seen April 13, according to a missing-person report filed in May. His 10-year stint as a late-night talk show host came to an end in December 2005 when he was fired by KIRO-AM/710 after being charged with insurance fraud.

    Seattle police crime scene investigators and homicide detectives were combing the house Webb had rented for 14 years in the 2500 block of Third Avenue West.

    I was just watching The Soup, and Joel McHale once again brought up David Caruso/Horatio. :rolleyes: :p.

    Joel was talking about who could be Britney Spears's new man, and it went something like this:
    "Hmm..I think I know who it is....He's mysterious, and he wears dark glasses..." and then it cuts to a clip of Horatio saying a one-liner before the credits. :lol:

    I just finished reading a book about serial killers, and they had an entry for CSI. Here it is:

    Since it's premiere in the fall of 2000, the CBS TV Series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has become a bona fide cultural phenomenon. It has not only spawned two hit spin-offs - CSI: Miami and CSI: New York - but has also produced powerful reverberations in the real world of academics and law. Enrollment at Baylor University's forensic science program, for example, has increased tenfold since the show went on the air. Dozens of other colleges have created forensic science majors to meet the growing demands of young CSI-wannabes.
    The impact of the show has also become evident in the courtroom - so much so that prosecutors, defense lawyers, and judges now speak of the "CSI effect." Jurors who used to fall asleep when lawyers began talking about scientific evidence now look forward to the testimony of DNA technicians and other forensic specialists. While some legal experts applaud the program for creating a more scientifically informed jury pool, others criticize it for raising unrealistic expectations. After all, not every crime can be proved with hard scientific evidence. And in the real world, even DNA findings can be unreliable, particularly since - unlike Gil Grissom and his glamorous crew - actual human technicians have been known to make errors.
    Grissom, the lead character in the original entry in the CSI franchise is played by William Petersen. This seems particularly apt, since Petersen started his film career matching wits with Hannibal Lector in Michael Mann's 1986 Manhunter, the first cinematic version of Thomas Harris's Red Dragon. In CSI, to, Petersen comes up against an assortment of highly creative serial killers: a sex murderer known as the "Blue Paint Killer," whose coed victims are all found with paint stains on their hands; a sadist called the "Strip Strangler", who deliberately plants misleading evidence; a madman who compulsively re-creates his father's murder (which he witnessed as a boy) by shooting victims in the bathtub; a maniac who snares married couples looking for sexual kicks, then kills the husband after forcing him to slit the wife's throat; and others.
    Of course, for all its veneer of scientific hypersophistication, CSI is, at heart, a very traditional show. Strip away Gil Grissom's state-of-the-art gadgetry - the gas spectrometers and fiber-optic fluorometers, the electromagnetic dusting kits and ultraviolet flashlights - and you're left with a Las Vegas version of Sherlock Holmes: a solitary eccentric, his head stuffed with esoteric information, who solves crimes through close observation and a remarkable ability to draw clever deductions from the smallest scraps of physical evidence. In the end, the real message of the show seems to be that while technology is providing police with ever more useful tools, what ultimately counts when it comes to tracking down serial killers and other criminals is good old-fashioned detective work.

    From: The A-Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers by Harold Schechter and David Everitt.

    Drew Carey mentioned CSI in an interview today. "My agent called me and said 'I was talking to CBS casting today' and in my head I was thinking, 'Oh, 'CSI' guest star?' And he said what would you think about replacing Bob Barker on 'The Price is Right?'" Congratulations, Drew, on your new job.

    I love The Soup! :lol: I was going to mention it too; Joel is virtually obsessed with Horatio and the "Sunglasses of Justice". Although who can blame him with all the silly opening one-liners?
