Meth-addict Moses
I was watching a police chase show on the Discovery Channel the other day, and the fugitive's name was Bret Moses. I stopped looking at the screen and just listened for a good 45 minutes to the program's melodramatic narration. I kept hearing things like, "Officers were hesitant to venture into the wooded area, for fear that Moses would emerge from behind a tree and open fire." Another memorable line was, "Finally, police were able to bring down Moses after a 3-day methamphetamine-induced shooting spree." Images kept flying into my mind of the Biblical, long-bearded figure of Moses jumping out from the woods with a rifle in his hand, popping pills the whole time. I found this all hysterically ironic, and it reminded me of our class. It seemed like a pretty funny example of the mingling of religion and the media.
