Members aMLCproduction Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 I was sitting here watching the news, on Fox and I was shocked and appalled over the story that A woman killed four infants, one was found in a bag in a trunk in the house, another was found in a bag in a garbage can in a Winnebago, and there may be more. My blessings and prayers go out to those poor children and their family. She is facing 1st degree murder, manslaughter and something else they said i forgot, lol then it went into Vic from the falcons and the dog fighting. His co defendant, is taking a plea bargain. This certainly raises the stakes against sports star. Then we had the NEWS CHOPPER colliding into one another, The Bush/Brown press conference will be under way, with the world wondering can America and England still stand strong together. Then school girls on a bus began passing out due to carbon monoxide. And now dumb ass Bush wants give billions in military aid to Saudi Arabia, and Israel to counter Iran. The world keeps getting more evil and scarier WHEW!! With stories like these who needs soaps? P.S. I do like this new format here at SON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gunder Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 It's precisely BECAUSE of real-life stories like these that we need soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 You mean the new skin? I changed it back to SON Blue. Although this new one is not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stenbeck212 Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 Real people experience adultery and breakups too. Should the soaps not deal with those issues either? I believe they need to stop underestimating the audience and incorporate more reality into stories. Detractors against that idea are of the sort who don't want Luke to be gay on ATWT. Everyone responds to good storytelling. I found much of The Sopranos to be totally repulsive, but the integrity of the writing made me watch year after year.

Members jcar03 Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 Then you have Lindsay Lohan who is front and center star of her own personal soap opera. Driving drunk, going to rehab, driving drunk again, taking hostages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 I love you. I've been saying that for years. Reality is so much more soapy than anything a writer can come up with. I've always seen soap operas like a fun house mirror. You see the general forms and shapes of reality, just exaggerated a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChiTownBoi03 Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 Tell me about it. This past weekend has been crazy. I have been enthralled in Beyonce's tumble down a flight of steps, headfirst in heels, then getting right back up as if nothing ever happened to flounce around on stage(still in heels). THEN Usher calling off his wedding a few hours before it, then leaving on a plane...alone no less. Whew! The news certainly is continuous drama I'll say. Soaps should take *serious* note.
