Maybe this is why my household appliances cost so much...

Anyone who watched the series premiere of Heroes last week saw the scene where the cheerleader shoved her hand into the garbage disposal. Well, it looks like the fine makers of the In-Sink-Erator didn't think that was so cool, and are suing NBC.

Hmmm...garbage disposal can literally dispose of my hand, and it would be unwise to stick any bodily parts into one. Who knew?!

I say this sets a bad precedent, if they win. Just think of all the gruesome endings to every horror flick and thriller you've seen cut because the manufacturer of the accidental killing/maiming device is afraid you might actually use said device for such purposes in real life. Call your local representative! Call your senator! Call the President! This must be stopped!

they shoiuld work this into the new show on Showtime, called "Dexter". i don't know if you've seen it, he is a serial killer who works for the police forsenic's lab, and he tracks down other serial killers in miami (apparently they have a lot there), and then he tortures them and chops them up.

it would be interesting to see him go after the various victims, using a garbage grinder, instead of massive cutlery blades.

And here I thought Dexter was just another CSI ripoff. That's a clever spin on the whole crime and forensics genre.

Luckily, I don't subscribe to Showtime or HBO. Otherwise, I would literally die of sleep deprivation from all the quality TV available on those two networks in addition to what I already watch.
