ASPCA SVU?!

So Mother's Day my sister and I were discussing one of the TV shows that we normally watch (Animal Presinct), and trying to describe it to our mother.

To those that have never seen it, its a show shot documentary style -- kind of like cops -- in which NYC police officers are also functioning as ASPCA investigators, rescuing abused and neglected animals, and arresting the miserable excuses for human beings that abused and neglected those animals.

So, after giving my mother that explanation of the show, she says "oh, so like an 'ASPCA SVU?'"

My sister and I looked at eachother, and then both simultaneously said "NO!"

Apparently, my mother only ever watched Law & Order SVU long enough to figure out that SVU meant "special victims unit" and didn't bother paying attention to the fact that the SVU was in charge of handling sexual assault cases...

I can see it now... A whole show on Animal Planet dedicated to NY street cops asking people "Did you have intimate relations with this horse? No? Well we've gotten reports. We're going to have to take the horse in for vetrinary examination." (this is most ridiculous if you put a really REALLY heavy NY accent on it. You know, Stallone style -- YO! Adrian!.)

Needless to say, we corrected Mom on her misunderstanding... Then Sis, the BF, and I all laughed our asses off for a couple minutes making up lines from the "ASPCA SVU" show (like the above).

"Excuse me sir, sorry to bother you today, but we've had reports of someone molesting a cat on these premises. Can we come in and take a look around please?"

To camera: "Well, we found the cat with various molestation paraphenalia nearby. We're going to be seizing the cat, and bringing the owner in for questioning. From the evidence we found, this seems to be just one location in a large animal porn ring, and hopefully we'll be able -- with the cooperation of this suspect -- to track down the rest of them"

Ugh. Thanks Mom -- This is SOOOO what I need to be thinking about. *roll eyes*
