"Entertainment Industries Council advises on depicting terror": http://eiconline.org/media/030402hollywoodreporter.html ................ ' "As an integral part of the entertainment industry for nearly 20 years, EIC's staff felt compelled to compile this publication," he said. Among the suggestions the EIC makes to the creative community is to encourage audiences to understand the importance of preparedness and organizing family communication plans and evacuation plans as well as gathering emergency disaster stocks and first-aid supplies. "Show neighbors working together," the guidelines suggest. The guidelines also suggest, "Consider story lines that promote donating goods, donating blood, volunteerism in schools, victim assistance programs, displaying the American flag in memory of lost lives to terrorism." ' ................ The actual book is available here: http://eiconline.org/creative/spotlighton/newnormal/ An excerpt: ................ In a Vehicle: ----------------- - Try to depict characters always locking their car doors and rolling up the windows. - Avoid showing characters leaving their children, purse, wallet, credit cards, checkbook or cash in their car, especially in view. - Your characters may want to park cars in well lit parking areas, checking inside and around the car before entering, rather than parking in isolated areas. THe character should be especially alert in underground parking garages and unattended parking lots. - If the character suspects someone is following him or her, driving home should be avoided in lieu of heading for the nearest police or fire station, gas station or other open business for help. The character could call for help on a cell phone. - Avoid, where possible, having characters pick up hitchhikers or hitchhiking. ................ [ Heh, I'd like to see a Hollywood action movie called "Vigilant Everyday Man III", which starts Bruce Willis first driving a SUV (not exceeding the speed limit) through a suburb. Then he parks the car cleanly and in order near a bank. Bruce carefully empties all the stealable possession from the car: his wallet, his credit cards, his checkbook, his cash, his wife and his children. After getting out of the car, he climbs to a street lamp post to check that the lightbulb is in order. After that he starts to walk over street (with the wallet, the credit cards, the checkbook, the cash, the wife and the children) to the bank. At this point he sees a hitchhicker across the street. Bruce grabs a flamethrower and burns the potential terrorist to dust. Then he walks (with the wallet, the credit cards, the checkbook, the cash, the wife and the children) to the bank. ] ---> jab | commie | http://commie.oy.com "Less is moo" -- The Holy Mad Cow
