let me hear what you've got to say.

so i get a lot of crazy calls at work... tons. it is unbelievable how many crazies call here.... this one is definitely not the craziest, or anywhere close. but still worth mentioning.

on friday night, i received a call from a from a very concerned man. you could just hear it in his voice... he was obviously very upset over something. so he asks who he can talk to and i tell him me... so after about a 10 minute conversation... this is what i am left with...

the man (he says he is 42) and his wife rent a movie from one of those red movie box things (they have them at walmart, kroger, etc.) it was called something like vinyan. it is apparently a foreign film... he says the movie is about a mother who loses her son in a tsunami. he tells me that the reason he is so upset is the last minute or so of the movie... the mother is topless, surrounded by 15 to 20 young boys. he proceeds to tell me that the young boys are fondling this woman... he explains it in explicit detail that i wont get into. he tells me he felt like he was watching child porn.

at this point i am still not sure what he wants us, the news, to do... so... unfortunately all i am able to do is lie to him and tell him we will give his name and number to a reporter and producer and someone will follow up...

haha then my mind wanders to american beauty... where a grown man becomes obsesssed with his daughters young friend... one could interpret that in many ways.

so i guess my point is what the heck did the dude want us to do!? sorry you didnt like the movie and felt offended by it. but your opinion is certainly not worth a news story... and dude, its a foreign film, what did you expect? ;-) that is all.

xoxo k.
