If you aren't familiar with CSI, watch this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeeyWvo1rNg
It's by far the corniest thing on television, and one of the most popular. I watch it sometimes just because of how stupid it is.
On a different note, as we talked about the language used in the Wire in class, one scene popped into my mind: the one in episode 4 or 5 where Bunk and McNulty are at the apartment investigating the murder of that chic that D'Angelo iced. What's interesting is that they only say "fuck" and variations on "fuck" throughout the whole seen, and yet we get it. I think that pretty much demonstrates how irrelevant language can be. Mcnulty and Bunk don't have to use a broad vocabulary to make points and do their job, they are capable because of their intelligence, not because of the words they use.
