It’s being reported that the Detroit City council and Mayor Bing are planning a meeting on Tuesday, July 27 2010, to discuss Hollywood’s new series called Detroit 1-8-7. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what the series will be focusing on and some of the city council and Mayor Bing are throwing tantrums just thinking about it. It seems the good mayor and his merry band of miscreants are worried about the cities image.

By the way, Kwame Kilpatrick, the former Mayor of Detroit was moved to another prison the other day, into the general population to serve out the rest of his time for, well, all sorts of felonious crap.

Anyway, back to the image thing. Mayor Bing has already put a stop to the cities relationship with the popular A&E channels ‘The First 48′, a show that follows cops around during their investigations. I for one am a fan of the program, having spent years on the street as a cop elsewhere in this great country of ours. There was an incident where a flim crew from The First 48 was on hand when a Detroit SWAT team member accidentally shot a kid, killing her, while performing a raid on a house. They had received a tip that a person of interest was hiding at the location and that person wasn’t one of Detroit’s finer examples of Motown Men.

Mayor Bing also sacked the Police Chief recently, apparently the chief was considering another reality show to star in and took part in a shoot showing him carrying assault rifles and talking tough to the camera, again, not a good image for the fair city of Detroit. Chief Evans is a one-time political opponent of Mayor Bing, wink wink nudge nudge say no more…

Oh, so far in the last few weeks, we’ve had 3 police officers shot and killed while on duty. The last one was killed just yesterday while investigating a possible home invasion robbery in Taylor, or maybe it was a domestic…regardless, the young man who IS one of Detroit’s finer examples of Motown Men, died….Number 3.

Ok, sorry…Mayor Bing and the city council find that these shows shine a bad light on Detroit. Unemployment is at what, around 22%? Businesses are closing up shop daily and students in the Detroit Public School system are still failing to graduate…choosing the streets over higher education.

Mayor Bing and the Detroit City Council think these crime dramas and crime reality shows are just plain icky. Hollywood should focus on the good of Detroit, like….give me a minute.

I’m Googling…hang on.

GOT IT! We have a cruise thing every August, guys and gals in really cool vintage muscle cars drive up and down Woodward…they should like, make a sitcom about that or something….old fat balding guys driving fast cars, what a bloody hoot huh?

Eh, that would be too white me thinks….wait, they could make a movie about….no they couldn’t, never mind.

Anyway, I’m going to be Googling for awhile me thinks. This is harder than I thought…but I’ll leave you with this:

When I was a wee child, my mother used to task me with sweeping the hallways that led to the living room. A rug runner ran down the middle, so being the industrious and freakishly intelligent youngster I was, I’d sweep all the dirt under the rug, hiding it from my mothers steely gaze…that’d show her.

Well, I unfortunately grew up and trying to sweep dirt under a rug these days just doesn’t work, the wife is smarter than I am and has better aim than my mother.

It won’t work for Bing and freak show either.

Mayor Bing and his Merry Band of Miscreants need to grow up and quit throwing these bitch sessions when more important tasks are at hand. Quit acting like a bunch of whiney-ass schoolgirls and do what you were elected to do, govern Detroit.

What the fuck is wrong with you people?
