But EVERY trade, hobby, profession, etc., is horribly portrayed time and 
again by Hollywood. Look at how they treat fans! (Galaxy Quest being a rare - 
nay, unique - exception.) Look at how Hollywood treats businessmen (outside 
of Tony Soprano, how many corporate CEOs routinely hire hitmen?) Politicians, 
cops, lawyers, doctors - they all have a beef. About the only profession 
Hollywood doesn't slime is hookers. Probably because they're the only group 
that the writers, directors, and producers have a real personal familiarity 
with...
