Now see, that may have been a selling point at one time. People got shot, and just fell down. So you could claim it wasn't real violence.

I remember, I musta been maybe 4,5 or 6 years old. Some TV show had some lady get shot in some standard cop drama of the early '70's. She fell. And I asked the grownups questions:

"She got shot?"
"Yes"
"Why isn't there any blood?"
"She's wearing a red sweater"
"Oh. Is she OK"
"Sure, they'll just take the bullet out, simple operation, she'll be back on her feet in no time"

I actually believed that was the case in a shooting for a couple more years.

But hey, don't blame my parents, the tv show did't have her yell or bleed -- they wanted people to believe she was going to be fine. What a world.

And I don't know what I'm complaining about, the world then or the world now.
