<title>Television's Nastiest Villain: Your Boss (Trees And Things)</title>
<link>http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2006/6/27/23539/7062</link>
<description>Watch enough television dramas and you see a pattern: One group of Americans, more than any other, is the source of most villainy in our world. &#160;They lie, steal, rape, and murder, and rarely do anything good for society. &#160;This group? &#160;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/22/AR2006062201786.html?sub=AR">Businessmen.&lt;/a> &#160;&lt;br>

<description>"Snatched from the headlines!" has always been part of Lawn Ordure's MO. &#160;One of the major entertainments of the show in our household is seeing who can name the case that was the source material for a show first.</description>

<description>It's lots worse.&lt;p>&#10;Eduardo, First of all, blow your nose! Next, don't worry about story quality. It will get better with time, and geez, you do know how to type, too, so getcher' ass in gear! (See Le Geek-Bob's comment, below.)</description>

<description>Yes, I didn't want to come out and say it directly- because I haven't watched any new episodes in the last five years- but I was under the distinct impression that the show's writers had simply run out of fresh ideas, and taken to recycling headlines. The </description>

<link>http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2006/6/27/23539/7062#16</link>
<description>IMHO at least is that they've run out of stories to tell and are recycling them which in part leads to the prevelance of villians and businessmen (referring to the original here). &#160;To me, the whole 'businessman as villian' comes across as somewhat laz</description>

<description>Let's consider this from a writer's perspective, and see what pops loose. What are the three cliches you need for murder? Means, motive, and opportunity. Greed is a very common motive when it comes to television shows: where to find it in the world the ave</description>

<description>&lt;i>Hola&lt;/i>, GB!&lt;p>&#10;As for your practices as a &lt;i>biznisman&lt;/i>, at least you give your customers fair warning when you hand out shotgun shells as business cards. &#160;That's some serious &lt;i>caveat emptor&lt;/i>!</description>

<description>Great! &#160;More whining from our culture of victimhood. &#160;Maybe if they want to be portrayed differently on TV, they should start straightening out their own lives. &#160;As soon as anyone sees any differential outcome from different employment class</description>

<description>&lt;i>"businessmen" - a rather large, catch-all designation, &lt;/i>&lt;p>&#10;Especially considering the &#160;last paragraph of the writeup where it describes two young employees as "businessmen".</description>

<description>Given the number of people screwed by the various current corporate scandals and pension fund problems and CEO pay levels, it's natural there would be some backlash. &#160;Plus some old-fashioned envy. &#160;&lt;p>&#10;But it's also not surprising that people are</description>
