PSI: Miami

Porn Scene Investigators

Bienvenido a Miami: watch our for the penile tissue

Disclaimer: I'm not a big fan of CSI. I think it's kinda cheesey, in fact. I've even been know to refer to it as Cheese Shop International. I don't mind it -- I just don't think it's particularly great TV.

That being said: what is UP with CSI: Miami? Are they porn scene investigators or something?

I've seen two episodes and they both struck me as elaborate excuses for using the phrase "penile tissue" on TV. First, some guy gets busted because he lost some p.t. on somebody's retainer. (He also killed her boyfriend, but hey.)

And most recently some woman killed a guy by -- brace yourself if you haven't seen it -- filling a condom with insecticide and having sex with him. The toxic substance (40% nicotine) entered through -- you got it -- the penile tissue.

The only redeeming thing about the show was that they actually seemed to know what the lethal dose of nicotine (approx 50 mg) was. That and dude showing the condom to the killer after finding it in the flower bed right outside her bedroom.
