Media Hypocrisy- "Crossing Jordan" Episode about SC
I saw a re-run of "Crossing Jordan" on A&E that featured a double murder at a strip club.
The scene that struck me was where Jordan went to the club and a stripper with info about the murder wanted to talk to her under the guise of a lap dance.....(secrecy). Well, the show played the "two girl scene" sex appeal angle (even using slow motion, lavishing over the blonde stripper & lovely Jordan) but ultimately the club was all about syndicate crime & a seedy murder.
Just thought it was interesting that the mainstream show used sex to get people's attention but framed it in a way to still say "Strip Clubs = Bad."

Whoa, I would give Jill Hennessy free lapdances with as many extras as she wants until she can't take any more. Damn! ;)

Inicidentally, the crime syndicate in the show was Russian....
I know, Miss Hennessy is one fetching Black Irish collen. Woof!

When Jill Hennessy played a lesbian in Chutney Popcorn I about died from bliss. She's my all time fave. *swoon*
But back on topic... ahem.
It happens. Strippers are going to be played up as ultrasexual. Sex sells, yadda yadda... cant do anything about it. The only time you're probably going to see empowered strippers on a tv show is CSI. Kudos to Catherine Willows! At least these shows arent making every single stripper out to be a coke-addled prostitute.
Oh, and back off topic. Once, Law & Order used the club I worked at as part of an episode. It was before I was there but I squeal like a fangirl every time I think about it. I *heart* that show.

Jill Hennesy can visit me ANYTIME!!!!! No complaints over here!
It seems that all shows or movies seem to have a sex hook to them.
Re: Media Hypocrisy- "Crossing Jordan" Episode about SC
I saw the same show!!
I have problems watching Crossing Jordan. As a Medical Examiner...she just wouldn't be the one solving crimes...but maybe I'm missing something... :shrug:
She IS a hottie, though.
Re: Media Hypocrisy- "Crossing Jordan" Episode about SC
That show (the show, not this particular episode, which I didn't see) seemed like it should have been better... all the ingredients seemed to be there, but wasted by the self-indulgent writers...
Re: Media Hypocrisy- "Crossing Jordan" Episode about SC
Crossing Jordan had a lot of potential as a show, but it's just kinda blah. Another forensic show? Did we really need another?
Of course I'd crawl on my hands and knees through 100m of broken glass just to masturbate in Jill's shadow, but that's a given.
:D

Good to see you back in fine form, though.
